Heard that 4 put of the 5 play support characters.
So no wonder they got destroyed

i remember when their team got announced. literally a bunch of support mains who were all low ranks. pure marketing gimmick. there was a big cry about them because some other team trolled them by banning 5 supports instead of actual ban picks

Read elsewhere that they were also none of them at a level to be involved in this league anyway. They were chastised from the start for being out of their depth no matter what sex they were. But some called it sexist to talk about them not being good enough when it was easy to see from their individual rankings. The sexism was including them at all.

I don't know why I went down this rabbit hole but it's even stupider than that. This team turned down far superior female players because they weren't pretty enough.
The idea was to make a cutie pie team that they could market to thirsty gamers. If the team was just passable the sponsors could train them 10+ hours a day to be actually decent. From a pure sheckles standpoint it wasn't a bad idea, they just didn't anticipate such a historically bad team.
In this game there are 8 ELO tiers you can be in, these players were from tier 5 (aka diamond). And To put this in perspective, it would be like putting the state champions from your high school baseball team up against the Yankees. Now that they look stupid the only thing left to do is cry sexism.

Ok so they didn't talk they showed, yet somehow I have a feeling all of this will be spun somhow of how great they actually were and those stupid white bois totally wall hacked wit their aim bots to win this high.

I find that hilarious...the women naturally pick the support characters. They cant escape the stereotype no matter what they do

That's actually a positive trait in women...I wouldn't denigrate it.

Funny how nature do that.
But for real, back when I ran a Halo 3 clan some of the support/defense players where girls.
It's that mind set of this is my home, this is my protector, I must help them.
