Looks like both first and second place was mixed gender teams. I'd have guessed it was pure male teams.

The build being used by the player we follow seems awfully simplistic. What was that, the Paladin pre-made?

Hmmmmmm, so the game isn't even released, and they've already held championships?

And for prizes, even.

=)

More woman play than you can imagine. My ex-wife was a verteran gamer and so is my current girlfriend (met her playing counter-strike).

23 or the 50 people in my current EQ2 guild are woman as well as 70% of my friends list in DAoC. The best NightShade in DAoC on my last server was a woman (and very very attracitve at that).

As far as gaming being more popular in Korea, well.. it's more "social" but not more popular. The big dollars for companies are still in the US.

I'm that dense. I don't know much about gender roles in Korea, I just assumed their society would be even more male dominated than in America and Europe.

Sorry bout the dense comment. Didn't mean to be so harsh. As far as Korea goes, internet cafee's are all the rage. Men and woman spend a lot of time there playing games. That's probably why 2 million + Koreans play Lineage 2. We can only hope this game catches on as well as the Lineage Series.

well. from the screens too. its interesting that theres no presented table with even 2 females at the same table. ( i dont know the language, so they might have had a purpose for each screen, like clan/guild specific info.)

i would say that the guilds here are male-dominated.(from the screens.)

Strategy and skill go hand in hand. While there's nothing wrong with the Paladin pre-made, you could do a whole lot better, especially when you're playing for money. It wasn't like their opponents were particularly competent either, I just laughed when the enemy's caster ran face first into their Warriors.

Yup. The most popular build: when I played level 20 PVP last BWE half of the players were pre-made Warrior/Monks.

Loved when the guild got the win, the flames on the stage were shooting up. That is just way awesome! I also think it's really cool that people will pack an auditorium just to watch other people play. Wow neato!

This may be a stupid question but.....

Do koreans already have this game? From what I can see it appears so.

Years of playing online games have evolved their brain functions beyond ours. They can now converse telepathically.

if your referring to the screens of each of the tables.
I wondered about it too when i 1st saw the pics.
but again like many clans that goes to a tourney (i.e CAL counterstrike, etc), that is prob the 1st time they've met face2face.

I did think some ppl looked kinda shy. some ppl were in a "waiting mode" w/ crossed arms or "wandering eyes" w/ no eye contact from each other at all.

hehe. thats just me, from observing the screens.
