Rob Walker never says this anymore. Such a good introduction to get folks hyped for the matches of the session. What happened?
Hello,
I'm watching the HCT Summer Championship - Day 1 stream at this moment where BaiZe is playing against Pavel.
It is a tradition to introduce players to generate some kind of narrative, which in itself is great.
-
Pavel gets introduced with his 80%+ winrate, championship wins, et cetera.
-
BaiZe gets introduces as female. Her gender.
This is what upsets me by quite a bit (I'm male btw, if anyone cares) and I'm for 100% equality in terms of gender. And I believe its the same at the HTC championship or Blizzard headquarters or whatever.
But I'm so.. baffled how no ones seems to notice that by focusing on BaiZes gender, you do the exact opposite of welcomeing her to the hearthstone scene. What you do is to divide the playerbase by pointing out over and over how different she is because she is a girl.
Can we please stop that? I heard she is a caster in china and I'm sure she is a fantastic player and you could concentrate on her gameplay instead of focusing on her gender.
We all want to make hearthstone great and barrier-free, so lets focus on things that unite the players, brings them together instead of pointing out who is different because whatever reason.
Thanks for reading, I had to get if off my chest. I voted for Pavel as my pack champion, but I still wish BaiZe best of luck, her plays until now seem extremly solid, she might take Pavel down. =)

Summary: Two major reasons for my actions
-
I naturally have 'big reactions' - they can be found in his previous matches
-
I saw a match between BaiZe and Pavel and noticed how they constantly read each others' faces. I knew I wasn't great in hiding facial expressions, so I decided to react big on purpose and confuse her and potentially lead her to misplay (this part was sense-to-sense translation)
Also it is not true that I waved at BaiZe, I waved at Velen and said 'Vel-ha' (=Hi Velen)(it is Popular phrase used in Korean Twitch e.g. Pat-ha = Hi patches ;used when a player draws patches) just like how I would react on twitch then I looked at her for her reactions. Considering how the set score was 0:0 and it was losers match, I wasn't near any position to say 'bye' nor BM about it
Despite all that, I watched the replay and admit that my actions were over the line and want to apologise BaiZe and viewers around the world
Has it been cancelled? Because the last episode came out over three months ago. What's going on there? It was always great fun.

##Notes:
Anyone have a good guide on how to fit baize on a snooker table? Havibg issues with the centre pockets and have looked at everything on youtube! Thanks
I wanted to say thank you to BaiZe despite losing for bringing such unique and original decks to the tournament, and hopefully after her great performance more female players dare to enter the Hearthstone competitive scene!
I saw that Gordon Ryan beat him this weekend at SUG 3 and that he's competed at EBI. Anyone know about him? (Lineage, comps won, etc.) Hadn't really heard of him up until he competed at EBI and SUG 3. All I could find is that he seems to favor leg locks.
A tight fit, but damn I'm glad I made it work.
Kenth gingerly opened his final piece of equipment, the small wooden crate shoved in the back of his luggage. It was worn and beaten, the latch barely attached. As he clicked it open, he whistled to himself softly.
"Kriff me, that's a beautiful sight..."
A few hours later, Sergeant Baize had moved himself down to one of the many recreation rooms within the ship. It had taken some time carrying his heavy chest of equipment, yet he had done it.
Kriffin' finally. Would've thought the lift made it eaiser.
He dropped the chest with a thump, kneeling down to unlock the latches. After a minute of monkeying, he procured a arms-length alloy stick from the wooden crate. It had a small scoop at the end, seemingly used to throw things. It was time for some Shockball.
About 2:50 into this episode of Baize Watch there is a featurette with Shaun Murphy being shown around the game design studio for Snooker 19. Interesting watch!
