Females in competitive gaming.
How often do you actually see women in competitive gaming? The answer is… RARELY.
After this past weekend, I realized that in every championship at Blizzcon, there were NO WOMEN competing. And guess what? I wasn’t the only female to have realized this over the weekend.
After much thought and a lot of support. I’ve decided to start up an eSports team named Sweet Synergy.
On our first night of ‘realization’ - over 100 women applied for team spots. The overwhelming support has been IMMENSE. Even a handful of males are pushing our team forward and supporting, asking to be a part of staff and our twitch streams. Of course, a lot of women of all sorts have inquired about the team - but after constructing an amazing staff group so far, we have redirected focus of the all female competitive team from ‘just wanting attention’ to ‘actually wanting to compete.’ In other words, we don’t condone ‘Rated R’ types of behavior in order to get attention.
We don’t want attention, we want representation.
I’m not going to ask my tumblr friends to reblog this, but if you do believe in our team and female representation in the competitive gaming league, then boosting this post will go a long way for us. We are here to voice that we are just as competitive and equal as any other opposite gender competitor. Here are some links to follow if interested: Twitter Twitch Facebook If any girl/woman/alien out there wants an opportunity to join our team, you may click this link that will direct you to our personal fb group page. May we rock the stage next yr at Blizzcon!
