17 year old Geguri playing Zarya from Overwatch and alleged sorry state of gaming Veteran Leader 07/05/2016 (Tue) 07:13:58 Id: 7b0301 No. 325646
Andy Chalk in https://web.archive.org/web/20160622135716/http://www.archive.pls/teenage-overwatch-player-accused-of-cheating-proves-shes-just-that-good-with-zarya/ "she said she could have done even better but she's been under a lot of stress over the past few days because of the accusations. She also wore a mask during her appearance on the stream to hide her identity, which all by itself is a tremendously sad comment on the state of videogaming." Chalk does not appear to consider the possibility of stress might mean that someone could have caught a cold. It is common in asian nations to wear procedure masks to protect others from your germs. Even if she was not sick, she might be worried about catching a cold due to lowered immune system from stress, since many people were in the place watching her and could have spread germs. Brian Ashcraft from https://web.archive.org/web/20160621191631/http://archive.pls/korean-woman-kicks-ass-at-overwatch-gets-accused-of-ch-1782343447 "Inven hosted a livestream of Geguri so she could further clear her name for those who still didn’t believe she wasn’t cheating. The site also noted that the reaction against her certainly seemed due to discrimination" This is vague and does not specify if the Inven site claims specified age or gender or some other discrimination. It also does not link to its source for us to read, or say who on Inven said that. Nor does it say the basis for assuming discrimination is the reason for the doubt of her skills.

>>325646 Cheating at esports is a hell of a bigger deal than throwing out the same old "wymyn on vidya harassment rablerable" since it's so easy to play the "harassment" card as a strategic deflection. Is there any evidence of either cheating or harassment? Also your archive pages have been taken down.
>>325667 >Also your archive pages have been taken down. I think web.archive.org spits out an archive link with the original link still embedded in it, and whatever the script that changes addresses on this site to "archive.pls" changed THOSE, as well.
>>325646 >>325667 This topic is also covered over at GookAnon's thread: >>246229
Asian internet personalities hide their faces all the time, regardless of gender. They don't want their online activities to interfere with their real life activities - things like school and work. It's a cultural thing, especially prevalent in Japan.
>>325781 So they don't have the equivalent of pewdiefag over there?
>>325783 There are japs who have made a career out of shit like Youtube so probably.
>>325786 Know any?
>>325646 Nah, it's actually really common for Korean and Japanese streamers to hide their faces, whether they do gaming or not. Look up some choreographed dance videos on niconico, they're probably wearing masks.
