ahhaha nice. I give you 10 tips from the Netherlands: Ten rape prevention tips: 1. Don’t put drugs in women’s drinks. 2. When you see a woman walking by herself, leave her alone. 3. If you pull over to help a woman whose car has broken down, remember not to rape her. 4. If you are in an elevator and a woman gets in, don’t rape her. 5. When you encounter a woman who is asleep, the safest course of action is to not rape her. 6. Never creep into a woman’s home through an unlocked door or window, or jump out at her from between parked cars, or rape her. 7. Remember, people go to the laundry room to do their laundry. Do not attempt to molest someone who is alone in a laundry room. 8. Use the Buddy System! If it is inconvenient for you to stop yourself from raping women, ask a trusted friend to accompany you at all times. 9. Carry a rape whistle. If you find that you are about to rape someone, blow the whistle until someone comes to stop you. 10. Don’t forget: Honesty is the best policy. When asking a woman out on a date, don’t pretend that you are interested in her as a person; tell her straight up that you expect to be raping her later. If you don’t communicate your intentions, the woman may take it as a sign that you do not plan to rape her. May the rapelessness be with you!

No one cares about female cs. Teams are at tier 3-4 of male teams. Why would you watch this? They could add this $30k to the males tournament.

"equality" "woman > men", ok that makes sense

2016-01-15 19:15

equality, stop sexism, woman > men kill yourself also female tournaments is the biggest excuse i've ever seen

very mature to say man, good luck being a narrow-minded person :)

2016-01-15 19:28

Except if you think female tournaments make any sense considering females are also allowed to play the male tournaments, they just suck ass at the game so we should award them for being trash just cause they're female you're a sorry excuse of a human being
