Just found some pics from the recent Electronic Sports World Cup (ESWC) Grand Finals, held in July in France at the Futuroscope.
Here are the girls: (updated): Team Brazil and Team Sweden:
The usual standard of comments follow on the ESReality site where they feature, which is rather boring. This sort of pic will do the gaming world many, many favours. To quote a senior work colleague: "but, they're so normal!".
Glorious, if you ask me.

Just to point out that its the Brazilian (Left) and Swedish (Right) teams, not Korea and Brazil.

why do the brazillians all look korean?

Aha. You're right. After long explanation (in the ESReality comments), it seems that the "that's the Brazilian team, not the Korean one" doesn't in fact reference the close-up of the ladies in the yellow tees, but the group shot...
Brazil vs Sweden then.

... and if you want to know more about either team,
Brazil: http://www.cyberlan.com.br/angels/index_en.htm
...and it turns out the other team is in fact the DANISH team "All 4 One".
I give up.

It is a "half-Danish, half-Swedish team" according to Nvidia's page about "Les Seules". http://www.nvidia.co.uk/page/eswc_13.html
The shirts say "Seules" anyway, I don't think any of the competitors would want to wear their shirts. (Or do they change shirts after the game, like soccer players?)

The team on the ledt is indeed the brazilian AMD team - consisting primarily - if not only of koreans.
And the team on the left IS Les Seules.

And that should be "the right" - for Les Sueles. :)

They are not koreans... they are brazilians and all speak portuguese. We have numerous 3rd-4th generation descendants from many countries in the world, including italy, china, japan etc.

Yup, we all eventually established this after the event, although at the time it was confusing as there is also a Korean ladies team...
