Around what time for your 10manny? If you got an extra slot, sure!
10pm GMT. You'd be the tenth!
*except nuke
I googled this and there have actually been some studies. One study suggested female sprinters have slower reaction times in the Olympics, but also suggested the difference could be an artifact because of how false starts are set up.
Here's a non-scientific website study of it, but of course it depends on people properly self-reporting their gender and age. *edit* Shaded areas are 95% confidence intervals.

I personally feel like harassment, stereotypes, and other factors play a bigger part as to why women do not often compete in esports, however.
We can use Quiches server, except if we play Nuke because Nuke is broken (on the server, for some reason).
The veto map pool is currently all active duty maps + all the operation maps. So in case nuke gets picked we'll just have to switch to popflash.
Also nah you're not banned (and if you are I'll unban you because yolo) lol

shit i might be in
You guys playing on the server? I'll spectate
Yeah most likely, unless we somehow pick Nuke (which is currently broken on the server for some weird reason) or the server overall is shit. gameservers.com said they changed some backend stuff to improve our performance so we'll see if the choke issues we've been getting are still there or not.
Hopefully they're gone.

He's right 😢Oh hey
I think this is a big one.
There are other factors too, in my opinion, like job prospects and career length. I, personally, think anyone who wants to dedicate themselves professionally to eSports isn't really thinking longterm. I'm 28 now and my career is finally getting off to a decent start, whereas it'd probably be ending if I was a pro CS player. Winnings are typically STILL lower for CS prize pools too, compared to other eSports. Sure, stickers, merchandising, twitch revenue, and endorsements might make you a buck if you're marketable or well-liked by the community.
I also think it's a bit early to gauge how serious female pro teams are now since there's a lot of money coming into eSports that might bring in more women to spectating and playing CSGO in the next five years, just to put an arbitrary number on it. CLG Red is, in my opinion, the most legitimate chance at a serious pro team because they have an organisation behind them that wants (or at least says they want) to form them into a serious unit. Their roster hasn't changed much over the past year (thinking back to UBInited) but again, I think that's because the female pro pool is small because of reasons baby and I have already mentioned.
I'm optimistic about the chance of unisex tournaments in the future but I don't think we're there yet. I don't buy any of the "reaction times" stuff or that women can't compete with men bullshit, personally.
Also, I got my rank back yesterday: silver master hahaha damn bell curve took me from double AK to this! (I've always been shit.)

You weren't shit man, you kept up with us back then. It's just a lot of us got better, while you regressed.
I too miss great maps like Favela, Thunder, Downtown and Seaside. All time classics I tell ya.

I may legitimately be the worst Eagle in NA.
Anyways, I agree with thinking females aren't as prominent in the CS scene because of the tiny female player base, and their not really being a way for them to seriously improve and get better. They're slowly getting better by pugging and playing ESEA leagues, but they don't have the actual support of flying to legitimately LANs and competing with real teams, nor do they even have the support of hiring a coach or a IGL who's dedicated to ansylsing them and helping them improve.

Seaside was a riot. I loved when the bomb got dropped and fell in the water. Incredible.
Who wouldn't when Mays playing :x
Some of those shits are better than bullshit like Mikla and Tulip
Fight me.
we gotta queue mannnnnnnnnn I have a silver master account just waiting to play with you
Just finished, can't today and tomorrow tho
#schoolprobz
lurppis dropped from GE to MG1 so it's probably more than just the bell curve if you were inactive
Rushing down vents to B seems to be a sure way of getting the bomb planted in the new nuke. It's hard to stop as CT even with two players throwing nades/molotovs.
Was literally just talking to a friend about that at work
He said it's all he's been doing and it's working incredibly well
