Delta Sky pro-gamer article
" About 39 percent of all gamers are women, and some compete internationally. Most female pro gamers are based in Europe, but the United States has a growing number of female “clans,” as gaming groups are called.[via: Delta Sky Magazine]
Kat Hunter is a San Francisco–based professional gamer for the Frag Dolls, which is sponsored by game publisher Ubisoft Entertainment. “While there may not be as many females earning a living through gaming as the guys,” she says, “every year we see more girl clans at LAN [local-area network] events as well as the major tournaments.”
Female gamers typically compete directly with the guys for cash and prizes at events like World Cyber Games and in the CPL. Some events, like QuakeCon and Cyber X Games, hold separate female-only competitions, but that’s an exception to the rule."
ya know there should be no more exceptions to the rule....i figure by now so many females are kicking these guys asses they should just mix it all together.
i hope that i can come to quakecon since its so close, to get an experience on female.........gaming :)

I agree...I can't think of one reason why men & women shouldn't compete in the same video game competitions.

Today I got my haircut and we somehow got into the conversation of Playstation and she was saying how she a die hard gamer but her husband doesn't like it coz she always beats him. In the end I pulled out my ngageqd, started playing and the hair had to wait. Girls are so into it.
I just wish that magical spell would be cast upon my wife. Know any spells Kat?
