ShyGirl: Me > Burning
burning, girl, ksss, loveen, nirvana, shygirl
The Chinese eSport coverage site SGamer has conducted an interview with ShyGirl, captain of Nirvana.cn. myMYM.com has brought you the translated version.
With the hype surrounding the recent "Loveen phenomenon," and the formation of 3 DotA powerhouses, 
Nirvana.Int, 
Nirvana.cn, and 
Nirvana.My, the 4th team, Nirvana.Girl, finally gets some of the limelight. SGamer has conducted an interesting interview with the captain, ShyGirl, nicknamed Little 8, discussing her new team and career as a female gamer. Here is the translated interview:
Hi everybody, this is Little 8, the current Nirvana.Girl captain. Since you are the first lady of Chinese female DotA, do you have any pressure? Not really first lady of Chinese DotA, there's a lot of better players than me, they love DotA way more than me. Being a captain, pressure obviously exists, however without pressure there's no motivation. Haha. Why do people call you Little 8? Are you the 8th in the family? If I say it took me 8 years to finish primary school would you believe me? Why did you pursue a pro career in DotA, anything to do with our lovely Thunder Boy (nickname for Burning)? I started because I am female, had nothing to do with Thunder Boy, he doesn't agree with me going pro. Simply introduce Nirvana.Girl for us please, being the captain and the team's carry do you have any words to your players? Any goals in 2010? Now we haven't started our exhausting training plans, I obviously want my players to concentrate and fix their minds, from entertainment to professional, and face everything with the right attitude. The goal for 2010 is obviously fight it out with the other female teams out there (PMS watchout!). Only competition will bring about improvement, and the competition between female teams seems to be more fair. What's the biggest obstacle for a girl to pursue a professional career? Obviously family members and my own mindset. Mainly my own mindset, everybody is different and has different thoughts on this matter. I've seen your Shadow Fiend before, very efficient, it's a match for Brother Bear's (Ksss) Warlock with his 20 minute Guinsoo, Shiva, Divine Rapier and Stygian, we also know that Thunder Boy used to love Shadow Fiend. Do you like heroes such as Shadow Fiend or something more cool and shifty, just like Thunder Boy is all cool and shifty? I never really thought of Thunder as cool and shifty...About Shadow Fiend, I know a lot of girls that like him. I haven't used him in recent times, I have no specific hero choice. Can you give us some review and thoughts on the past and the future? Any regrets or something you really want to achieve? The biggest regret in DotA is that I can't be on the same team with my best partner. Regarding thoughts is basically to not have any regrets. Where do you train? VS? HF? ZMR? (Note: These are abbreviations refering to gaming platforms in China) No advertisement allowed right? Still no training so far. Still fixing our minds, we'll probably use ZMR to train. Everybody call you and Thunder Boy the perfect pair, anything you want to say to him? Me > Burning What do you think about Nirvnana.cn? Any thoughts? Nirvana.cn is a very strong team, I don't think they are weaker than any other Chinese teams. As for the male players, I think Little White (nickname for insence) is a very good captain. He cares a lot for his players and Nirvana.Girl. He's very calm and quiet. I won't say much about Xiami and Banana, I think you can see their strength from future games. Obviously with these two in the team, the general mood is always happy. Zhou has always been a core member. Don't know much about Zippo, I think he's a bit shy, or we are just not close. However I think the best thing ever is to have a good manager and a good sponsor. Where are you training currently, people in Wuhan want to meet you guys. In Wuchan, Guanggu area. (Note: Areas of Wuhan, provincial capital of Hubei) I'll display the exact location later haha. What are your 3-measurements? (Note: Bust/Waist/Buttocks) Very annoying question. I swear I don't even know myself, seriously not because I don't want to answer. Finally thank you for the interview, any shoutouts? Thanks to everybody who supports Nirvana, we will work hard, and also thanks to Little White and Brother Tang (nickname for Loveen) for their constant support and praise. |
Thank you Little 8 for accepting our interview, say hello to everybody please._______________________________________________________________

Female only gaming competitions and teams are fucking sexist and demeaning to women everywhere (especially the competition part). Why can't they just mix teams, females and males? Oh yeah, I forgot, 99% of the pla

Not really, i'm sure all female competitive pla
And FYI, it is not exactly immature thinking which forbades mixed gender teams, males generally have their competitiveness in their nature. Nobody would want a team mate who's pulling down their team playing performances, and you will be thinking, change another pla No competitive males wants to lose a match, IF you're talking about a competitive team. And Hello, in which part of this interview you do not understand that it is about competitive gamer. I repeat, COMPETITIVE. Its either you're good or you suck. NO EQUALITY. Last but not least, all-females teams are way cooler. =) Not something you see everywhere! Last edited by MsJovial at 15.03.2010, 10:24

That IF it is, till now, there ain't an all-females compy. Thus, your statement is not valid yet.
Plus, yes, people SHOULDN't, but the fact is that, sex sells. Too bad. Last edited by MsJovial at 15.03.2010, 12:26

oh, FYI, female gamers don't demand the whole world to treat us with a handicap. If your statement makes any sense to you, do come up with some examples.
And you got the right word, marketability. Why female gamers get so much attention? If you ain't gay, you should know why. Again, fyi, we don't demand to do interviews in such gaming forums, people approaches us.you might want to vent yoour anger on these people and tell them your perspective. Again, too bad, sorry for being a female gamer. ;) | |

Since there is no physical requirements for dota (except maybe having hands), i cant see why you would want do seperate male and female competition.
However there is a valid reason why you want all female leagues. Less girls than boys game dota and therefore it could be smart to hav a female league in regards to getting more girls interested in competitative dota. | |||||||||||||

You're all stupid... Due to many different reasons(the low amount of female gamers) girls are worse at the game than guys. What you trying to prove? That you are pro-equality and that you actually listens when the politics, media etc discuss equality?
LOL You're from malaysia where you still hand out official whippings to women that take a beer at a bar? :D Your opinions don't count :) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

By that logic, since India has = Population with China, they must be just as good at DotA as China. Or even better, since there are less Danish pla
Talent is talent. There's no need for this gender division. There are better ways to promote female gaming (i.e. sponsoring the talented ones). Last edited by SoitGoes at 15.03.2010, 14:07

Quoting SoitGoes: OK, you still don't get the picture. THERE ISN'T ANY SINGLE GENDER ONLY COMPETITIONS! Wake up your delusioned mind. FYI, till now, females are still joining competitions that don't requires you to be either female or male. Darn, i have to spell out every single word. And please don't include the word 'We', you don't expect/assume every one to think like you. And if you're still on the topic of female gaming scene, why is there a need to pull in Social Standing in Society? And if you're STILL talking on Marketability, my team did way way way better than you. Look at you, my team is recognised and known by so many countries and watch, your rYv SoitGoes. Who? Who the heck is that? Period. You're just being pain in the ass, whimpy little boy who is sore and green. Now i seriously thinks that you're gay. | |||||||||||||

take ur pill dude. girls play dota for fun ok?? why would they want to compete with guys. why u barge in with the mindset they should play gender free leagues?
Flawed opinion in ur case: They dont want the handicap. Most girl pla They play dota for fun and fortunately, the world enables them to fight competitively between themselves because yes, they are marketable. | |

I just realize how obnoxious a person can be. Speaking about fairness when all they care about is their own 'perfect' opinion and assumption. If the world is 'fair' as u think. Why should ur opinion/judgement worth 'more' than the others?

When you're creating an all-girls team, the first criteria (being female) obviously gives you a much smaller pool of talent to choose from. With such a small population of female gamers, it's hard to find a girl who can hold her own against the entire world, let alone five of them... Then expecting them to work together and like each other is another story altogether.
I'm a little conflicted here. On one hand, I will admit that attention is something that everyone likes, male or female. Heck, I relish attention sometimes. And perhaps that's one of the push factors in making a female team. We get more attention even when we suck. But as alluring as the idea seems, I will agree, it is abhorrent. There comes a point when you realise how difficult it is to succeed in tournaments when you're up against teams that pick their pla It takes a very secure and comfortable (and of course, talented) female to play in a competitive mixed team. There is always the stigma associated with female gamers and you'd always be second guessing yourself, and wondering if your team secretly considers you the weak li And I think as human beings sometimes we are handicapped because we want to be. When I played with a female team, we never had high hopes. In fact often all we wanted was to get through the qualifying rounds. Do we want to win? Yes, most definitely. But it's always a lot easier to have an excuse when you lose badly, even if the excuse is something as painful to hear as 'they're girls'. Then again from the point of view of a male team who is shafted in terms of attention compared to a female team which might be equal to that male team in terms of skill (or lack thereof) it can be quite frustrating not to be given equal treatment because 'they're girls' once again. I'm definitely all for equality and I hope that we can have enough girls for us not to be considered a novelty... For there to be enough SKILLED girls that they won't segregate us by gender, for a platform where we won't be placed on a pedestal or treated with disdain purely because our gender. I hope I was coherent enough here. I am irresistible and my ego is my biggest asset!

Ok let's get something out of the way first.
The mere existence of female only competitions is not enough to say that "Girls aren't good enough to play with guys." However, the fact that the teams that enter these don't enter regular competitions, team leagues or even scrim against guys most often, does mean that they can't play with guys. It basically equates to minor league. These female teams just aren't as good as almost any male teams. I would not want to watch most of these teams play because the quality of play is just very low. Most of these teams would not make any money or headlines if not for the fact they are female. It's just a fact. I've played on WoW arena teams with women before that were great at the game. She didn't need her own league because she was skilled. The existence of Female CS and DOTA tournaments is because these gamers aren't as skilled. It is exploitation, and that's okay. It's capitalism. But lets not pretend that any female team could even take a map from top male teams. If they could, they would play with men. Kudos to PMS for actually trying to play in regular competitions on occasion. | |

i personally don't feel that my gender has hampered my gaming career/accomplishments. my real life career, life, society and family hamper me more than being female does.
