Brasilian and Danish women's CounterStrike teams

By at 7:49 am Monday, Jul 26

This is a very striking photo of the Brasilian (not pictured here, click link) and Danish national women's teams at the Electronic Sports World Cup -- basically, the world cup of CounterStrike. As Alice points out, despite the drearily predictable "they're hotties -- no, they're ugly" chatter on the message board that accompanies the original, this pic "will do the gaming world many, many favours. To quote a senior work colleague: 'but, they're so normal!'." Link (via Wonderland)
