PLuGG's Battle of the Sexes! Counter Strike all girl team


Pandora's Mighty Soldiers (PMS Clan) announced today the creation of All-Star North American Female Counter Strike 1.6 team working with SK Gaming and Team EG for the South Africa's PLuGG Girls vs. Guys Game Off… where South African CS teams are getting a chance to battle online for a chance to win an trip to Johannesburg and play this illustrious team compliments of PLuGG, South Africa's newest broadband provider.

The All-Star Lineup for the event includes champion SK player Christine "potter" Chi, PMS newcomer and former SK and Emulate champion Stephanie "missharvey" Harvey, PMS member Dimitra "D1m" Deliopoulos, and Team EG players Catherine "CaTh" Leroux-Racette and Isabelle "Izza" Joanisse with event manager Amber "Athena Twin PMS" Dalton. The team will arrive in South Africa on November 24th for 2 days of media touring and a photoshoot, then compete at the main feature event against the winners of the PLuGG Girls vs. Guys Game Off at a huge event party and tournament on November 29th at Turbine Hall in Johannesburg.
"We are very excited for the girls to play at the Plugg Game Off and show that women can compete against the guys," states the team organizer and PMS Clan leader Amber Dalton. "Win or Lose, we are looking forward to bringing a new era of women in CS so there is no confusion that women have talent in gaming…and era where women will compete regularly in male bracket events as a norm, not a one-off occurrence."
What started off in South African forums and blogs as a "guys are better than girls" statement, there is no doubt this team was created specifically to finish the smack talk. Each player on the team has been chosen carefully to bring valuable skills and experience to the team…and show to show male gamers that female players are a force to be reckoned.
