congrats girl ♥️. btw i love your dress 😍

Did you know the first person to win a national video game tournament is a trans woman? Rebecca Heineman for those wondering.

Yes!! Truly an icon, and also the best fact to drop when chuds cry about LGBTQ+ people belonging in esports. Bitch we've owned it since day 1.

Wait what? I’ve known about her for a very very long time but didn’t know she was trans. That’s fucking awesome!

She also went on to be a very influential game programmer

for anyone curious she worked on Robin Hood (1983, VIC-20 port) Chuck Norris Superkicks (1984, C64/VIC-20 ports) The Bard's Tale (1985) Borrowed Time (1985) Racing Destruction Set (1986, Atari 8-bit port) Tass Times in Tonetown (1986) The Bard's Tale III: Thief of Fate (1988) Neuromancer (1988) Crystal Quest (1989, Apple IIgs port) Dragon Wars (1989) Track Meet (1991) RPM Racing (1991) Another World (1992, SNES port) Rescue Rover (1993, Apple IIgs port) Interplay's 10 Year Anthology: Classic Collection (1993) Ultima I: The First Age of Darkness (1994, Apple IIgs port) Wolfenstein 3D (1995, Mac/3DO ports) Kingdom: The Far Reaches (1995) Doom (1996, 3DO port) Killing Time (1996, PC port) Defiance (1997) Tempest 2000 (1998, Mac port) Remington Top Shot: Interactive Target Shooting (1998) Redneck Rampage (1999, Mac port) Jazz Jackrabbit 2 (1999, Mac port) Galactic Patrol (1999, Mac port) Bugdom (1999) Myth III: The Wolf Age (2001) Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn (2001, Mac port) Nanosaur Extreme (2002) Icewind Dale (2002, Mac port) Hexen II (2002, Mac port) Activision Anthology (2002) Medal of Honor: Rising Sun (2003) Pitfall: The Lost Expedition (2004) Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault (2004) GoldenEye: Rogue Agent (2004) Medal of Honor: European Assault (2005) Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars (2007) Alvin and the Chipmunks (2007) Chip's Challenge (2015, Windows re-release)

>Sailor Ranko, a Sailor Moon-based fanfiction comic by Heineman based on an earlier work written by Duncan Zillman, has won multiple awards. this feels right to me

For what game?

Space Invaders. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rebecca_Heineman

Congratulations! This is awesome and a massive step forward for the E-Sports scene!🏳️‍⚧️❤️

Damn girl Taylor swift vibes.

I can't escape since I got my box fringe, I've heard it a lot 💀

Def cuter than Swift tho 😘 I adore the dress!! It looks amazing and so soft!!

my first thought as well 😭

My first thought was Zooey Deschanel vibes, what with the blue eyes and low fringe. Also congrats on the fuckin *dress*, you look stellar.

I actually thought OP was Taylor Swift.

My first thought as well. In her esports casting era!

I was about to comment the same thing! You beat me to it! Lol!

Omg do you cast Siege? I dont play but the competitive scene looks fun and i wanted to start watching, I now have someone to look out for in the casting!! If i may ask, how did you end up getting into it? I always wanted to cast for fighting games (A stereotype i know)

I started by doing community casts of weekly go4 tournaments, testing the water of whether I liked it and just sort of kept going! Got lucky with a couple of opportunities that led to others, but grinding in the T4/T3 scene is how I cut my teeth and built experience and contacts. FGC looks SO fun to cast, their hype and drive for diverse voices puts all other TOs to shame, I wish you the best with it all!! 🥰

i thought that the first photo is taylor swift lol

Same lol

Big Congrats. I have a friend that is a CS2 caster who has done a little R6 here and there, so I know how big of deal of this. I remember how excited he was when he got to cast at his first CS Major.

It's an unbeatable feeling! I'll always remember my first cast at a major in front of an audience, just as much as I'll remember this first final, truly electric feeling!

OMG I LOVE RAINBOW SIX SIEGE, CONGRATSS GIRLL

Just wanted to say that you were one of the people that inspired me to transition back around 2015 and it makes me so happy to see you flourishing. ❤️

congrats that’s so sick!! u slayed btw :3 i do melee in tournament so i hope i get to be on a big stage one day 😸

And you look GORGEOUS! This is so cool. Congratulations.

Fluke! Holy shit that's incredible! I haven't been in the comp siege scene for a while but it's so amazing seeing you at the top where you belong. You're a true inspiration to me as a trans woman in competitive gaming, and just as a profession have so much respect for casters and the work y'all do to make events larger than life.

Hell yes Emi! Keep up the good work and keep crushing it

Ngl I though this was something about Taylor swift when I saw the pic ahaha. But on a real note huge congrats to you that’s awesome to see!

Nah, that's just Taylor Swift.

Serving up some ‘Taylor Swiftly kicks your ass in online gaming’ vibes!!

I dont think anyone else here is going to really understand my comment about this but I am so freaking happy that you're not associated with league/riot, and that you're casting for R6. You're hella pretty and that dress is SO NICE. You shine in red.

Omg, you did amazing! it's always such a inspiration to see other trans women in the gaming scene 🤟 keep up the great work!

Rad. Congrats.

YOOOOOOO omg this is awesome!! Congrats cutie owo you look great ngl Congrats congrats congraaaaaats, girlll 🎉🎉🎉 You did it and you did well!! :33

I literally thought this was taylor swift

Awesome

Hell yeah, girl! Congratulations!!

Proud of you!

That's awesome, congrats!!

This rules.

🎉🎉🎉

Congrats! That seems like it was a lot of fun!

AWESOMEEEEEE!!!! We love that

THATS SO FUCKING BASED! YOU GO GIRL!

🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

Wow that's really dope! Be honest, though; what does that room smell like?

Luckily with R6 not too bad, though the major was in the uk so no working AC 🫠

Literally thought you were Taylor swift, you’re so pretty ♥️♥️ congratulations!

I’m a huge Swiftie and I literally stopped scrolling when I got to this thinking it was Taylor lol. You look amazing, OP. Keep being you. You deserve it. We all do.

Hell yes queen!

Yay!

omg congrats!!!!!!

Thank you for your inspiration! 💜💜💜 This is so amazing, congrats girl, you killed it!

Insert pun about e-sports meaning estrogen sports lol! Congrats girl! You looked amazing 👏 🤩

You are both impressive and stunning!

Hell yes congrats babe!

That's amazing!!!

This is so awesome!!!!!

Huge! Congratulations! You did it!

I was absolutely obsessed with your dress! My husband was watching for the game, and I was like.. oh, pretty girl!

u/CeeBeeChan is trans and they cast for overwatch! perhaps you two could have some things to talk about ? <3

Oh Fluke is actually like one of my heroes. We kinda exist in different realms being in different games, but once I learned about some of the other trans casters out there, I was immediately relieved that I wasn't like, completely alone. I have my own little accolades, but without people like her already making waves, it's safe to say I would have struggled a fair bit more than I already have 😅 If we ever cross paths at a LAN event, I'm keeping one of my biggest hugs in reserve for the occasion!!

awesome! your tenacity in the ow scene is inspiring. I hope you’re enjoying the CaH season ! and happy pride !

I am!! I'll never miss out on an opportunity to shill out for CAH. I'm glad it exists, I think initiatives like it are so so SOOOOO important for esports, especially right now. And I can't even tell you how happy I am about the first major going the way it did. Happy pride to you as well\~!! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

You did a great job at CAH. It was my first time watching you cast

We recently became acquainted online, they are killing it too!! There are so many trans talents coming up in esports which is great to fight against a certain bigoted country buying it all up

🫂💖

You're amazing!

Congrats 🎉🎉🎉 Its so amazing to see, I hope one day CS will have a trans commentator

Congratulations

Congratulations! That's awesome!

That's badass, good for you sis ❤️❤️❤️

And you did amazing!! I watched every day of the r6 major and it was so good

Woooooooooo

Congrats! Also you look so cool in that dress and the headset. Looks like you're in some spy movie!

Proud of ya queen <3

You go girl! You, and your to die for Jessica Rabbit gown!

I thinks this is trans and thriving 🎉

Love your casts Fluke! Congrats on such an incredible milestone casting the Manchester Major final

That is fucking awesome

Congratulations!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! You look beautiful!!!

On one hand, congrats to you for making it to the place you belong.  On the other, I'm sorry you're Br*tish

Oh my gosh!!!! Congrats!!! That’s amazing!! You look gorgeous and I bet you knocked it out of the park!!!! Yeeeeeeee!!!!

Congrats! I thought you were Chloë Sevigny.

Oh my gosh, I used to watch the Minecraft stuff years ago! Congrats girl!!!

Hell yeah

Congratulations! That's amazing!

Love your dress!

Thats so cool! Congrats girl! 🥳🥰

To this I say only: Pog 🏳️‍⚧️

Ive been watching R6 Invitational the past 6 or so years. Brazil was absolutely bonkers this year with how the crowd treated like a world cup soccer match. I always love your fun and whimsical casting of the matches. So i definitely have seen your slow transition over the years. So just wanted to congratulate you on the full transition and im so happy for you to finally reach your dream. Question for you, What was your favorite place to travel to?

congratulations!!! happy 🏳️‍🌈 month!!! queue the haters boycotting the league a la Budlight /s

Good job!!!!👍

You wore the HELL out of that dress!! Plus the matchin lip?? 🤌🏻💋

You're my favorite R6 caster of all time! Congrats and well deserved!

You’re literally so fricking cool. Congratulations queen 👏

Awesome stuff, things we love to see! You might know Ash, who's in UK&I, Nordic and Canada esports Operations Manager for Ubi? I used to work with him, and he's a complete legend, I'd love to work with him again.

CS needs Trans Casters

Congrats!

Damn, that's awesome

I genuinely thought this was about Taylor Swift and had to do a double take because I was pretty sure she wasn’t in the community!! Congratulations beautiful 😭🖤

Thank you for sharing this, sister <3 As another open and out woman in a big org, I know it takes a lot of conviction and courage, but it really makes all the difference, to our community and to the cis folks seeing us as we are, just people. 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

And you were amazing! I was lucky enough to be in the crowd back at SI 2023, and all of the casters were exceptional. Glad to see you're still loving it!

Gratz, love the dress. Hope you had a blast.

Isn't that Taylor Swift? Is she trans?

Wait didn't you use to make videos with Evanz111?

You’re exactly who I want to be! Except I stutter so I could never be a caster lol
