I don’t care about Naguura but it’s laughable to trash talk her as someone who’s progressing Normal raid.
I thought it was random matchmaking to get acces. Shame.
Now i understand why i get legion beta, blizzard hate me 
Its too low knowledge.
thats Blizzard spirit
Just because streamers get access doesn’t mean all beta spots are handpicked. It makes perfect sense for Blizzard to, say, reserve 10-20% of the spots (or whatever percentage it is) to prominent streamers, while randomizing the remaining spots to the rest of the community. The streamers provide visibility and advertising, while the rest of the beta players help testing and provide a “playground” and context for streamers to make their gameplay more interesting and thus, indirectly, improve advertising.
There is some truth in what she’s saying but it’s mostly wrong in this specific case.
If WoW was a new, unknown game, maybe it would be more profitable to have a player who knows nothing with an audience play it. However, then the game improvement would probably be minimal.
Today for TBC Classic, blizz sure as hell needs a lot of players who are experts in the game testing it, so they can fix the bugs. But they also needs streamers to showcase the game and bring up the hype.
She put them up against each other, and if blizz also did that, you would end up with either an unknown great game, or a known buggy game. However, since blizz is already known it would make more sense to give more space for real players as they would help improving the game rather than market it, which emphasizes my initial point.
Regardless of how bad she may be and privileged just because she’s a woman (lets be real here she’s not very good and wouldn’t have a following/connections without this biological fact), she’s correct. Streamers often play the game to death due to the revenue it gains them, so they will find bugs, and they are free advertisement for Blizzard.
She explicitly said “Streamers who know NOTHING about the game”. They won’t possibly “play the game to death” in such a short period nor learn most of the bugs to even look for.
Also, privilege is a tricky issue and assuming someone is privileged because of gender is sexist.
They all have chats full of self proclaimed rocket scientists who know every bit of TBC in and out. Those bugs will be found, and they’ll likely do different types of content from the regular (more knowledgeable) streamers. And they will play the game, regardless of being new to it, since as said it’s the popular thing to play, thus the most profitable.
I have nothing against women, it’s just the truth in this case. She’s carried in every piece of content, so I had to debunk people claiming she may be good at the game.

Bugs are too nuanced for that to be the case or the knowledge too complex for someone who has NEVER played the game to fully understand it from a fast minimum letter chat. It’s obvious that a player who actually played TBC would find more bugs than one who didn’t.
Naguura is good at the game though. At least better than me in PvE and I am quite good too. And many streamers are carried, for example Asmongold, but he isn’t carried because he is a man and Naguura isn’t supposedly carried because she is a woman. Both are carried because they are “famous” streamers.
I don’t see what’s wrong about what she said? Beta is for exposure mainly.
Next wave come testers.
And most people whining about beta aren’t looking to test it, but just want to play tbc now.
Regardless of how ‘‘bad’’ she might be she is still prob 10x times better then you and me. You should maybe look up her stats before making a fool of yourself on the forums.
Imagine calling a cutting edge raider, with +25 timed runs bad, and on top of that claiming it’s because she’s a woman.
Caveman spotted.

Why would you even want to play the beta?
I want to play the real game and not be tester myself ^^
