Khaleesi here, Head Admin of The Round Robin.
This showmatch is really just a way of getting more females interested in competitive TF2.
I help moderate r/teamfortresstwox on reddit and frequent r/girlgamers and both subreddits were talking about playing more TF2 together, for funzies. Both to get a taste for a more competitive side of the game and to play with more females.
Personally I've been really lucky and found an awesome team of guys to play TF2 with, but not all girls have been as lucky as I have. If we're able to create an environment for ladies to play comp, make mistakes and not feel like they're letting thier gender down I'm gonna do that.
Each team is captained by my two good friends and it's going to be freaking awesome to watch (even though I'll be at work, boo).

zigzterCan we have an All-male transatlantic TF2 HL showdown as well then?
There are plenty of all male transatlantic games. And those are league game finals, this is just a fun showmatch.
Why are so many people butthurt about women wanting to play tf2, like this is some kind of injustice that they would want a game?

Because I'm a proud GUY GAMER who takes offense at people trying to purport this "all-ladies" game as something other than what it obviously is... a vehicle for the misandrist majority to make their way into competitive tf2, formerly the last bastion of real virility.
Just because I'm a GUY doesn't mean I can't GAME

it shouldn't be advertised as being an all girls round robin, it looks silly and it sparks hostility imo
just relax, gender aint a thing to get riled up over in video games

zigzterWhy do so many people have this shitty attitude.
"Oh this person called me bad at [whatever], now my feelings are hurt and I'm going to stop doing it."
Grow a fucking spine.

Congratulations on justifying all verbal bullying ever, racial abuse, sexism, homophobia, and nullifying all harassment laws.
You are a brave middle class white man and we can all learn something from you, thank you for your wisdom.

ITT rustled jimmies.
Looks like a fun game looking for an angle for a show match to promote the round robin. Why does it have to be analysed as more than that.

as much as i really hate this kind of separatist shit, i can see how the community could benefit from having this sort of novelty showmatch.
good luck to the ladies involved.

What if we are a gender dysphoric and can't participate in either game? Your assumption that there is a gender binary dictating the inclusion and exclusion of certain groups based on sex (NOT GENDER) is only empowering the patriarchy. I'm NOT a third gender, I don't have one. Learn the difference.
It's not my job to educate you

I feel very alienated from the asexual community when someone describes asexuality in general as having no desire to have sex.

i am of the opinion that the reason behind why many women are bad at videogames are their pasts/upbringing- now i'm not saying that guys are BORN AND RAISED AS CYBER-ESPORTS WARRIORS it's just i feel like there are a lot of factors in the female growth environment that hinder them from being good at videogames, the online environment being one of them since I feel like a lot of guys playing in pubs are afraid to tell females that they're doing something wrong and because of this the egos of said players breed scrub mentalities. this obviously happens to both genders but i feel like it happens more often to females because of the mentality of hurr hurr female gamers
just like how asians have a ton of technical skill but lack the creativity needed in top level play (CS comes to mind since that is dominated by euroland) but that stigma for me has changed watching streetfighter4 (infiltration WOOO) and a bit of SC2.
personally i've only met/played with a few female gamers and most of them had very scrub-free attitudes with a couple of exceptions.
also I think what zigster means by his comment is that when you really love doing something, some insults (or words over the internet) shouldn't stop you from doing it

Good grief, I see I was correct in calling this thread as "going downhill" earlier. It's an all girls showmatch! Why is that a big deal? Relax and enjoy watching TF2 please. You people have to over analyze everything.

What do you mean "you people?"

The people that have degenerated this thread into a freaking out party about it being an ALL GIRL showmatch, created a spammy gender war, and an argument about sex and asexual behavior. Dem people.

Basically this, nobody's taking it seriously. It's comparable to getting pissed off at the HL mix that happens occasionally where they get all those internet celebrities to play.
