please don’t ever feel bad that your original art doesn’t get many notes on this website. it absolutely doesn’t mean it isn’t good. the amount of notes isn’t a grade or defines how good your art is.
Started sketching realistic faces and the likes of western things lately. Today, while in a “let’s draw females” mood (the usual, really :’D), I ended drawing Leona’s face… then the rest followed.
Used the armor design as seen in one of ironstylus’ latest sketches of Leona. I think it looks similar at least… <_< I hope my rendition isn’t too bad…
“In accordance with the International e-Sports Federation’s (IeSF) tournament regulations, since the main tournament event is open to male players only. This is to avoid possible conflicts (e.g. a female player eliminating a male player during RO8) among other things.”
What the actual fuck?
This seems to amount to “We want to be taken seriously as a sport, and since other sports don’t let men and women play together, we won’t either.”
Really? Really?!
what the fucking fuck
Actually reblogging again to highlight this little gem:
“This is to avoid possible conflicts (e.g. a female player eliminating a male player during RO8) among other things.”
Like, uhh, what? If a conflict is going to arise because a player eliminates another player then gender is not your issue.
This article pretty much says that part of their reasoning is that conflict my arise because the fragile egos of some male e-athletes might not be able to cope with being beaten by a girl.
This is hella dumb:
“Your information is indeed correct, the tournament is open to Finnish male players only,” said Markus “Olodyn” Koskivirta, head admin of the Assembly Summer 2014 Hearthstone IeSF Qualifier, in a statement to PC Gamer. “In accordance with the International e-Sports Federation’s (IeSF) tournament regulations, since the main tournament event is open to male players only. This is to avoid possible conflicts (e.g. a female player eliminating a male player during RO8) among other things.”
Koskivirta’s argument is that, by allowing women into their qualifier, there’s a risk that the winner wouldn’t be eligible to enter the IeSF’s World Championship final.
I’d rescue stray kittens from the side of the road. I think I ended up finding like four over several years when i lived back in texas and we ended up finding homes for two of them (the other two we kept.)
