Les Seules

[B8]

Via the CNN web site, I found out today about Les Seules, an all-girl gaming team that's taking aim against the boys in computer gaming.

"We want to show the rest of the world that guys and girls can play on the same level," team member Louise Thomsen (code name: AurorA) told The Associated Press amid the geeky flurry on the floor of DigitalLife, a four-day technology and entertainment convention.

The girls take their gaming very seriously. The squad has a professional coach, manager and an Olympian-like training schedule. They practice online for five hours a day, six days a week outside of their regular studies and work. On the eve of competitions, they physically come together to cram during all-night "Counterstrike" killing sessions.


Something to live for, or die for or from.

ya know.... that just takes geek to a whole new lame level. a loser's still a loser whether you're a chick or a guy =) hahahaha

anyone who needs a coach, manager, trainer, training schedule to play a freakin video game.... give me a break. i don't care if you're a guy or a girl. anyone who dedicates this much of their life to video games will be good at it. my question is... WHO CARES?! =P

But just look at them, they will have half of the adolescent male gaming community salivating at the door just for a glimpse of them.

Lame or not they make GOOD money for doing games. Then again games are the downfall of The USA. Revenge of Nippon.

I can beat 'em
