They could replace her with a superior player in about 15 minutes but they would lose her 1+ million plus twitch fans and the revenue they bring in.
This is why GPU companies sponsor "frag dolls" and other all female teams, they are not better then male teams but people like watching girls play video games.

Hafu was removed from her previous team for poor performance and was picked up by a competitive team only as a "fuck you" to the original team when they beat them in the finals. |
You don't get first place in MLG/3rd at Blizzcon from being carried, sure there might have been some players who could have done it better, but to say she was carried is going a bit far. You aren't going to pull off a win in a tourney as big as MLG or Blizzcon if someone on your team isn't one of the best at what they do.
But anyway, since the question all this came from was asking if there were any females who have played at a highly competitive level in PVP in any MMO games... There are plenty of females who have played at high level in PvP in WoW, which is without a doubt the most popular and competitive MMO ever. There are also girls that play at high level in SC2, and I'm sure pretty much every other competitive video game too.
There are plenty of guys who suck at MMOs/video games, just like there are girls that suck. However I probably know just as many girls who I trust to play their character to its full potential as guys.
