Why Is There No FEMALE PLAYERS In Pro League of Legends?

- League of Legends is a game played by boys and girls all around the world, but how come the Esports scene has no female players?
LoL Esports has existed for many years now and through out that time the female player base has seen no rise.
Why is that? Well in this video we go into many of the factors and details that could be why there is no females in the LCS or in Esports in general.

@Best4rtNiteClips Thank you best fortnite clips! Very insightful
@Best4rtNiteClips how are you gonna be a fortnite channel and then call league of legends an easy game
@Best4rtNiteClips Took out runes? No process with builds? What are you on?
For the Geguri part, there's kind of some context missing. For starters, Geguri (and the other Korean players) joined the team midway through the season. They were already winless even before the Koreans got there. By season two, they actually turned things around (although Geguri doesn't get a lot of play time now).
Unlike some of the other all female pro teams, Geguri is actually really good at the game. She isn't in OWL just cause she's a girl. She was a perennial top 100 player in ranked who had reached top 10 in Asia leaderboards (the hardest leaderboard) many times. She's legit.
Yep and she is still at the top of the leaderboard even now!
kudos to you for saying this. At the early stage of her career, she even got accused of cheating because of how good she was and proved everyone wrong by playing matches in a live studio. I don't know what team she will join since she left shanghai dragons but I hope the best for the rest of her career
Yeah it's so cool to see her just there because she's good, she deserves it
they also broke their lose streak with her on the team!
@@geonhuckyoon726 To be honest, every time I heard the pro player being accused of cheating because they are too good, it's not the blame, it's the compliment.
I'm a female jungle main but tbh I think one of the reasons there are very few female challengers is that the time commitment requires a very dedicated, almost anti-social, personality which is less common in females.
Very true... it kind of sucks that the more time you put in the game the worse your social life becomes

i've had an awful lot of traumatic experiences while playing with guys i know from my school and even from other schools. which made me stopped playing with them and just go play w bunch of strangers that i tried to motivate and somewhat gave advices when it was evident they're still newbies or was tilting.
i'm grateful to have two guy friends who never made fun of me but instead helped me how to improve. just got back to LoL again this quarantine after years of not playing and i totally missed having fun in online games.
@Destynation Z ah totally forgot abt this comment but thank you for leaving a reply! hope everything's alright w your friend and always take care of yourself
I feel like main reason of women not being in Pro League is because:
First - majority of playerbase are still men like i would say around 60% or more of any game
Second - in those % you need to think how many of those people are in those small percentage of ranks are girls if they are already a minority
Third - if you arent good enough compared to people from all around diamond to high challenger even if you qualify > you wont get into the League.
And as a girl I can say that even if a woman would try to get into League and put her out there for a team there are still more players who are better than her and majority of them would be guys who spend more time on games.
I dont think its okay to make only female teams - its pathetic. If someone is worthy to join a team they will get in no matter if they are female or male - your skill matters not your genitalia wtf.
Preach 👌🏼
as a girl i agree, but i have to say that "female distraction" thing is a deep issue. that's why women are kept at home and didn't allowed to work mostly. "no women on board" they say [they believed it was missfortune ;) ]. the reason was just keeping the sailors not distracted.
@@TheChocoSama well we didnt see any good pro female players to back that up. So far its been %90 skill issue and had nothing to do with distraction.
But I kinda doubt it, pro players are probably resillient enough to not get distracted by a girl, unless the girl just creates drama for attention which is possible too.
@@strider8662 what i have said was about historical stuff, an extra info. but "no girls to protect the team chemistry " stuff is in the video too... anyway, i agree that if a girl was that dedicated and successful that would not be an issue. girls used to don't play pc games very often, but i think this is changing and maybe we will see girls in e sports more often
@@TheChocoSama I really hope that changes, I mean I played alot of MMOs and there is lots of girls playing there.
I feel like the issue is that girls never take games seriously as guys do, I have seen tons of girl LoL players but all of them were supports and even then they werent nowhere near passionate about it, it was just a small activity that they would do with their friends which is fine too.
>female proteam

The girl on the left side of thumbnail (Yiying Han韩懿莹) was actually a quite successful professional player.

then she became a LOL streamer, and now a pubg streamer
Thats great, but RTS and MobA is not the same thing.
It sounds harsh when people list the reasons why there are no females in pro League but I don't think many people mean to be...
Every single guy I know gets fucking ecstatic when they come across an actual girl who plays well, hell half the time they almost fall in love with them so I dont but the whole "boys club" narrative pushed by the retarded feminists and sjws.
There is bound to be a fringe minority of guys who are like that but a girl who has a genuine passion for the same game they like is the wettest of dreams for most male gamers, should she also happen to be skilled it would probably just explode their brains from excessive dopamine hits.
樊哙 what is warcraft 3 and starcraft 2? Ahh i remember SINGLE PLAYER GAME, dont compare it with LOL a TEAM GAME
@@TakeshYM are you a fucking ass? Hes not comparing games or making any outstanding allegations. Hes just pointing out that this particular girl was good at videogames, which may be surprising, even if she didnt make it in lol
@@F1rstWorldNomaDhe moba genre was pretty much born from the RTS genre and they have a ton of similarities. Dota is a prime example of this, but I do agree League is a moba that has strayed the farthest from an RTS game. Dota and League were both basically modified versions of an RTS, so they literally started out as RTSs.
@@TakeshYM starcraft 2 isnt single player lol

In Rocket League, there's a female pro player who captains her team and they're in the RLCS (Equivalent of LCS) and while she's not a top player, she's pretty damn good and is the reason her team is so good

As a female player, this makes me lose the little motivation I already had - :’)
Yeah... same... thats pretty disgusting
Same...
@Aaron Janit im alredy "good" than i was when i write this comment. I was disgusted. im disgusted, but i never give up.
And i hope its same for all girls playing lol
motivation is the ability to commit to something despite obstacles or difficulties that may stand in your way. if it fails at the smallest obstacle, it was worthless.
instead of being negatively swayed by seeing a video like this, you should get motivated to prove that it's wrong. how is some random guy going to try to tell you that you don't have what it takes? what the fuck does he know about you? that's how you should react.
To be completely fair and truthful, the reason there are no pro females is men have faster reaction time on average. This is a fact you can easily look up, and men are about 20 ms faster with visual stimuli, and about 30 ms faster with auditory stimuli. Since most people understand ping, its like females are all playing with +20-30 ping simply based on reaction time. Men used to be hunters, and we would die if we didnt have fast reaction times to go with our muscular physiques. Raw reaction time needed to play against other super fast reactors. Think women playing softball instead of baseball, it literally helps give them more time to react as the ball moves slower and is larger.
how are you gonna tell this is not cute
*puts picture of teemo *

Satan, master of cuteness.
Once you play one game against teemo you never look at him the same way.
TEEMO MAINS WHERE YOU AT!?!?
@@Anonymous-xu9ld Who tf mains teemo. Not even a good champ just annoying to play against.
Then there is the fact that gamer girls make a lot more money by just being streamers and it's said to be way less stressful. So a bit easier job and way more money? I'd take that.
Aatu Korja And if females continue to think like that then they shouldn’t be whining about the lack of “female representation” in professional gaming. If you don’t put in the effort, you don’t deserve the reward and that goes both ways. The hypocrisy is so astounding, and this is coming from a girl.
You know alot of women who even try to make it pro will get flammed 100x more than men cause of their gender u know? Mainly BECAUSE they are a girl they'll be looked more under a microscope aka more stress
Memento Mori « women are underperformers in everything » « don’t take away from us the only thing we have » great job at refuting her point by being a whiny, sexist asshole
Let's just remember that most female players who try to use their "high rank" as proof they're good at the game, theyre none other carried by, you guessed it, men. That goes for most competitive games. In overwatch 98% of females in top 500 NA mained mercy. Which in retrospect is hardly Gameplay at all... If female players want to be taken seriously then they have to play seriously

@@f1r3hunt3rz5 had to be that one dude.
I remember there was a study done on female vs male chess players, which was trying to figure out why there aren't more pro female chess players (there are some, but it is largely male dominated).
The study placed female chess players against male chess players, but didn't tell them that they were playing against men. When the female players were told they were playing against a man, they lost more. When the female players were told they were playing against a woman, they won more.
So what does this say about women in these areas, like chess and esports? Possibly women are socialized to *feel* less capable than men, and to *feel* that men are inherently better. To feel a lack of confidence when their opponent is a man, and competitive when against a woman.
Just to add if my sister plays as her real female name online people are generally disrespectful & blame loosing on her, any weakness is because she is a girl, where as their loss is just 'bad luck' or even blame other team members but they always see girls as the weak link no matter what really happened. She stopped wearing her headset in COD because literally all match she would get sexual stuff said to her & sworn at, by her own team! Each rematch people would complain if she was places in their team despite usually being in the top 3 ranked players, just due to her being female. When she uses her username which sounds male she never gets these problems, sure she will get the occasional 'go fuck your mom' joke but nothing near the level of abuse she would get if she was a girl.
This video completely missed family, social, peer & societal pressure.
it could just be that less women play games- if only the top percentage of players are pro and a low percentage of females actually play the game then you can mathematically calculate exactly why there arent as many pro female players.
Females almost certainly play less competitive games. Estimates I've seen for Shooters and Mobas put women between 5-10% Where as women make up a surprising percentage of (high fantasy) MMO players and Japanese RPGs. Most estimates put the female percentage for these games between 30-50%.
I hope everyone knows this is not some "effect of our society", it's primal.
Also some would quit after someone attack them verbally or the ENTIRE team would stop supporting them. I thank my username always get mixed with a male name. But they will always be those stupids who would stupidly hit on you (it migth sounds as joke but i remember a friend with a very sweet voice get an almost marriage proposal) or throw shit on you
9:28 imagine not letting your players speak a language they can effectively communicate in.
Not really... The rest of their team didn't speak korean, so they wouldn't speak korean during games anyway... It was just because china is commies. I guess they didn't have any state agents who speak korean available at that time.
@@michalvalta5231 can't they all just speak in English then? But if they really can't then there's no helping it but just make separate groups during fights like 3 players head to ambush while the other 3 plan on what to do

You want to promote female players in esports? Include them in normal teams, don't make ALL female teams, that just gets you laughed out of the public eye. And don't simply include females in your team for the sake of it, get someone reaaaally good.
NotHelix it’s less about the player reaction and more a case of sponsor reactions.
While some teams are sponsored to boost brand recognition, with big names like Samsung, this all girl team was created almost solely for that goal.
Often sponsors will inevitably choose a girl with the best “story” to the detriment of the person.
with men this is usually based around name recognition and prior achievements. Unfortunately women are less interested in league so finding one takes more time and so most team organizers just give up and go with the prettiest face.
Similarly going pro is a big risk. It is almost a full time job with extra pressure around every tournament. This leads to certain personalities risking everything. Unfortunately with women this personality has better options with a higher chance of success. Music is the clearest, but with STEM being pushed, and reporting and acting being so popular esports have less appeal to these people.
there was one girl on a big team to pay on the esports but guess what. She was harrassed and verbal abused for several male players just bc she was a girl
why don't you google these women then?
I can tell you one of them is an ex pro from multiple games.
what's weird is that one of the better starcraft players is scarlet, a canadian female player. solo games like starcraft seem to have more pro females compared to the team based games
But its all about pandering duh
Tbh I think the thing about males playing longer than females is just a matter of how dedicated you are to the game no matter the gender.
excuses
@@GoldenBoyXCM how? If you don't have the motivation, you certainly won't do it. My family is full of gamers and lemme tell ya, the females in our family are the hardcore ones. Mom plays Street Fighter with dad, my cousins (one of which is a female) stays up late playing Crossfire and flames everyone in chat, my aunts spends hours in Dragon Nest to grind XP and fights in duels, grandma would often tell me that shooter games are fun to play. Yes, this sounds extremely far-fetched but, it's the truth. One won't simply do something without motivation or dedication. Even people working in companies won't just work without a motive. A simple motive like "I need money" is already a motivation for them.
Tbh I don't think it's anything to do with that, he'd previously discredited that all female team as essentially a promotional stunt so actually comparing their game time is questionable, if as he said it wasn't actually serious all female team

LOL. I love how you do not specifically talk about the fact that Geguri was forced to film herself playing because everybody in the community treated her like a "liar" (or said that a boy was playing behind the screen). Indeed, women are still not well treated in video games. And it's a real fact, dude. So do not avoid that fact. Indeed, if there is a very very small percentage of women in video games, that reduces the chances of them being pro. But add the fact they are treated like shit... yeah, that reduces MORE the chances. Period. Except that, I agree with your video and I'm totally AGAINST the femal teams only for promotion.

I’m officially offended, Urgot is the cutest thing in the multiverse
because pro gaming is a sphere which requires a combination of huge amounts of free time, intelligence and dedication which all together can only be found in a small amount of people already no matter the gender.
because a girl is less likely to be interested in games or take them seriously purely because it’s a male oriented community (and can often be hostile or downright predatory towards you if you are female) and your interests aren’t as likely to be shared among your peers as if it were if you were a boy + girls (and minorities in general) are put under more societal pressure and have more real life responsibilities, so they aren’t as usually socially inept or detached as boys often are, which is a quality you probably need to have if you are willing to put thousands of hours into “getting gut”-
because reality check. esports are legitimately so detached from life and someone with willpower and wits would probably prefer to actually contribute to society in a meaningful way rather than play video games for others peoples entertainment.
because leagues creme de la creme is less than a percent of its player base. now look at those numbers compared to humanity as a whole and an already small chance of a smart girl with no social life picking up a video game and sticking with it. simple math.
I do also think it has to do with women wanting a more complete education. It is statistically more likely for a woman to want to go to a university than a man, and pursuing that education takes up too much time to participate in a big field like esports.

I think the main issue with team sports/esports is that it would be hard to find an all female team that can actually grind as much as an all male team. There may be some solo female players that can play like men however it would be harder to integrate them into a male team without having any conflicts in the long run. Hoping for a female pro player specially in DotA.
If there were solo female players who could do that you would see them get recruited to a team just like male players. But you don't. You only see sub par, non-pro level players recruited to all girl teams as a gimmick
Gold rank here after playing 3 months qwq Hope girls get another shot at being a team in an Esports 👌🏻

I clicked on this video for Miss Han Yi Ying on the thumbnail and it turns out to be a clickbait. She played Warcraft and Starcraft professionaly in 2007-2013 and got honored several times.
honestly, I think part of the reason girls are less known in pro gaming or even gaming in general, Is cuz it's less socially acceptable for girls to play those games. As someone raised female, I remember there were times where my cousins and I would have sleepovers, where the boys got to go downstairs and play halo the whole time, but the girls had to stay upstairs and watch a black and white movie with our grandma, and when all of us were upset because we wanted our turns on games, we got yelled at cuz it's not 'lady-like.' Even now, my brother is getting gifted PlayStations, he has his own Xbox, and my mom bought us a switch, my brother had no interest in the switch so I took it cuz it was supposed to be for all my siblings, and once I spent my own money getting games I wanted to play, then my brother showed interest and my mom told me she would put a lawsuit against me cuz I used my own money on the switch and didn't want my brother to mess up my animal crossing island. I also saved up money for two years to get my own PC, which my brother literally has more playtime on it than I even do cuz when he visits he spends hours playing on it. The last time my siblings were over, I let my sister play on it cuz she hadn't yet, and she was only on for 3 hours but the whole time my brother was complaining and I got in trouble for not letting him play and "being cruel to him" even though he literally has over 48 hours played on the game he was wanting to play. Plus my male cousins get away with gaming for hours, shouting slurs at people online, and ignoring their work and it gets excused away with "oh boys will be boys." but I spend five hours on my tablet working on an art project and I get literally screamed at because I'm "being lazy and unproductive" and I get my electronics confiscated despite the fact that I'm an adult and I paid for all of them myself. Gaming just isn't as accessible to some girls, to the point that we get threatened over it, and I hate it cuz I think it's a huge part of misogyny in the gaming community that gets largely overlooked.
Beautifully worded. A think a large portion of the “you’re lazy” argument comes from the women of the house being expected to do all the cooking, housework, child care, etc.. I remember once my mom called me to fold the clothes with her and I asked her why dad couldn’t help her instead, and she told me, “Men don’t do this stuff.” Even though chores like those are literally life skills. Also the double standard that if a man does something that’s seen as masculine (ex. gaming) he’s excused for it, but when a girl does something that’s seen as feminine, the overwhelming response is that she’s basic. Like the stupid stigma over pink gaming setups. Black and red setups don’ get the same hate, do they? I could honestly go on and on about this topic.
@@venturoushope2846 exactly!! But when we say something about it it gets ignored because our experiences aren't seen as valuable as men's do, it's exhausting. An example I saw of this was in Mr. Beasts UA-camr paintball tournament, wherein the only all female team was taken out almost immediately because they were targeted and cornered in an area where they didn't have weapons, I saw so many comments saying "well this proves that girls just aren't good at it like guys are." Or "it's funny they play shooter games for a living but can't shoot irl." When in the video the girls said that a team coming at them literally shouted to the others "let's target them" (probably not the exact wording I'm too busy to rewatch the vid rn) and didn't even give them a chance. Plus, the only other team with a girl on it was the one that won the tournament! It's like, maybe don't balme something on my character when there's a clear bias against me for something I have literally no control over. But, in order for men to do that then they'd have to acknowledge that they aren't superior and that women are actually capable of amazing things when given the chance. But that goes against everything they've been raised to believe, and it doesn't stroke their egos.
@@tyronebroson9180 Love this. It goes along with the double standard that if a girl does bad in a game in reflects on all girls, but if a guy does the same thing he gets a pass because he “made a mistake.” I don’t understand why they deliberately target women for the actions of other women when men literally do the same things we’re hated for but don’t receive the same hate.

Geguri is so good she first got into the limelight because pros accused her of aimbotting, and they had to step down once she proved them wrong. Rip shangai dragons lmfao
I think what this is kind of ignoring is how female gamers are treated. If you say you're a girl in any sort of video game with teams, you'll be barraged with sexist, rude and awful things. Girls do have to work twice as hard to get into competitive gaming because other players will be absolute assholes to them. Seriously, I've had friends of mine say they give up on overwatch or LoL just because of what people have said to them. You might say "develop a thicker skin", but that's hard when every single match of something you're supposed to be enjoying involves people tearing you down in every way possible. Hell, I avoid games with voicechat all together these days, just because of how stressful it is. The gaming community is incredibly sexist and incredibly harsh. And honestly, it's kind of heartbreaking. Girls will get mocked for tiny mistakes, for playing anything but support, for just... being a girl. It's not as simple as an interview, or filling out an application. If a girl wanted to join a competitive team, she'd be exposing herself to insane amounts of toxic stuff. For a lot of people, that just isn't worth it.
Wow you say it like girls are the only ones who are made fun of/mocked in games, but i guess if you get heartbroken by what random people say off the internet then i dont think the internet in general is suited for you, because sure there will be sexist/racist/generally toxic players in the internet thats just how it is and if you cant accept that then youll never be a better player no offense
@@yordlesarebetterthanporos1504 you can accept it, its just takes awhile. they also never said that other people dont also get fucking ripped into so idk where u got that from? dont make strawman arguments because ur triggered a girl is upset over blatant sexism
There is a beautiful command in LoL called /mute all (I'm a guy and I always use it because I know how fucking toxic the community is)
I agree. But I believe that the same people tell are assholes to girls for being girls, are assholes to guys too. These people literally only want to say the things that will make you the most angry. And sadly, if you’re a girl, that’s sexist remarks.
The majority of females in gaming lean into the sexism by referring to themselves as "girl gamers"... I don't remember calling everyone a "boy gamer" o_O I can't even relate either, if they can't hear my voice they have no idea I'm a girl because of the way I type. It's just that easy.
Personally being a girl playing competitive video games since 14 (GW2 ranked legendary x2 in season 2) I started to have issues with my gender growing up because when I lost my rank due to soft reset or I joined other games with a ranked system (league was the case) I would get made fun of for every little mistake I did. Even though I play against most d3 and bellow players in normals and sometimes even in ranked while all my friends are either silver or low gold I still get no respect. I had to change my name into something less femenine because sometimes my jungler would int my lane on purpose because "you're a girl you should be playing support/you can't play this game" and "we lose because we have a girl on our team". I almost quit league multiple times despite the fact I was placed high gold in my second season by playing mid/jungle, and for 2 whole seasons I didn't play ranked because of anxiety and fear people assumed I was a girl and start to int on me again. I'm not surprised there are no girls in competitive play because not only do we get a lot of attention because it's not "norm" but also because the expectations people have of us as players are negative and literally start talking shit before they even see anything. I have a lot of female friends who are currently ranked high diamond and don't play support but hide their gender because of discrimination.
At this point, I have quit ranked, my anxiety is worse since I joined league and I can't bring myself to play any games with ranked systems anymore bc I grew up believing I was worthless for being a girl despite the fact I made it to the highest rank lader in multiple games.
You're not worthless so please don't think you are. Some online communities could really use changes so they'd become more positive.
Oh wow. Every time I play with a girl, I always see someone hitting on her. Always have to tell the guy to knock it off. But it’s weird seeing you have problems with people making fun of girls who play a certain role. I usually never see it. Maybe I’m lucky and never had the chance to experience it.
@@enriched4054 You definitely get the normal guys who just hits on girls. But it's true what she said. I didn't play League for long, but even before playing League and still now playing other MOBA games I still get the whole comments such as "Oh so that's why you suck" when my gender sometimes gets revealed. It doesn't happen all the time but it still does and the way they say it can really demotivate you, to be honest. For a long time I've been using in game names fit for a dude just to hide my gender so I can be taken more seriously and have a normal game and have fun without getting getting backlash for being a girl.

Here's some data: There are several women in league who place above Remi, including YeoChoiMi was placed above Huni in challenger in 2017, Baby Hyun, Forget Me Not, LOL Bunny, and quite a few that place just below, such as Yeji Jeong. They also created another all female team I don't believe you mentioned. In Esports in general: Sasha Hostyn is claimed to be the most successful woman in esports history, plays Starcraft II, and has earned over $200,000 in tournaments She's ranked #22 currently in Starcraft; Zainab Turkie plays CS:GO along with Julia Kiran, Christine Chi (who plays for CLG Red) and Stephanie Harvey (who has won multiple world championships).

Men typically call BS when I tell them I am D1 but peaked Master 213 LP earlier in the season. They say I was boosted yet I have only one duo who is usually my support. We really only duo twice a month... if that. I am an adc main with a 68.4% winrate with Lucian AND 69.4% on Kai'sa. Had one guy I was dating say he'd boost me with his Gold II skills on our first date. When I told him I was D2 (at the time) he laughed and said "It's not cute to lie". When he added me he asked whose account I was using and continuously accused me of lying to him. Can say that relationship didn't last very long lol. Feelsbadman though when I have no girl gamer friends irl. I have a few from meeting online but none over Gold IV. Kinda wish higher elo female players were taken seriously more.

I have lots of friends that are girls(had to word that weirdly) who aren’t really that good at league. They just play it to have fun. It is a game after all. I don’t mind either. Hell, I don’t even play ranked cause I find it boring at times (Silver 2 btw).
Geguri was also signed fairly late into the season. Around Part 3 if I recall correctly. Her games actually had the closest they got to winning, and she was one of the only players kept on in a massive team cut/switch around for OWL Season 2. She's one of the best off tanks in the world, and has let her skill speak much higher than her gender before, even beating another player who claimed she was hacking.
I just got into LoL cause my friends all wanted to start playing. I haven’t been playing for long but I’m trying my best lol. Sure I main Yuumi, but that’s because I like the whole detach and attach aspect and I’m trying to see if I can get to where I can detach, get a few hits on the enemy champion, and then get back on to give my teammate shield.

*VSauce music starts playing* OMG, Nicolai, that killed me.
Being a female league player, I don't often say I'm a girl. You get flamed for every tiny mistake that every player makes, just because of your gender. It's also worse because I'd say I'm average to a slightly better than average player, having made it to Gold 5 this season (however I only played ranked for a short time and got Silver 2 in promos). When you aren't at a higher than average skill level, and just enjoy playing the game at whatever rank you are at, you're ridiculed even more for being "bad at the game." If those Riot statistics are true, there are many more males ranked below me than there are above me. It really makes you feel beaten down and inadequate for wanting to be competitive because you genuinely enjoy the gameplay.
Really everyone should just be treated the same, and unfortunately, you can only do that currently by staying anonymous. I hope that it becomes easier for female players to integrate into pro play in the near future, because as many comments have already explained, it's extremely difficult for various reasons. I'd love to see female players in Worlds.

Well, I've played thousands of games and I can tell you your gender means nothing in this game. If you play well you will get praised most of the times and if you play bad you will be flamed.
If you want to test it create an account with a male name and you will see how it doesn't matter at all. In fact maybe you are treated even worst.
I've been d5 for 3 years in a row and people treat me like shit even when I don't make mistakes. I've been said things that you can't even imagine. People care about results and it is how it should be.
You can always mute them if you don't like what they say. Don't hide behind your gender please, it doesn't help you.
@@rmartin I don't hide or announce my gender in game, I don't have a gendered ign and I don't think most people have gendered igns. As with most online gaming, people just assume I am male. I agree that a lot of the time, gender doesn't matter, and online gaming can just be a toxic cesspool equally to everyone. What I am commenting on, is that from my experiences when I have let my gender be known, I've been subjected to more pointed flaming. I'm also commenting about the state of gender equality in esports and how it's difficult for female pro players to get onto teams or play in high ranking tournaments.
Objectively I'm not sure about how often you are treated differently for gender, because I don't say anything about it usually! This is just my own isolated experience.
Anyway, we're all gamers here, and every one of us has been told nasty things while gaming online. It's no fun for anyone and yes that is why the mute feature is a thing. It's a bit contradictory to say gender doesn't matter, and then say that you might be treated worse as a male... I'm not sure what exactly it is I am "hiding" from using my gender...

Pandacute is actually much more pro despite of their name. They were all raised in problematic families and most of them spent their childhood gaming, 24/7. There was one girl who only played because her parents did not want to have anything to do with her and left her at home with only a compiter. I will say that they will be as good as any other team due to heavy practicing, but i do understand why females are mocked or discouraged from gaming. Anyways, pandacute is pretty decent, though may not be up to world championship level, they are still extremely skilled players
They really won't be. There already exists female csgo leagues that practice just as much and the best team in the female league would get trounced by the worst team in the major. Women and men excel in different areas and have different interests. Men consistently test stronger in the areas that would assist in video games such as spacial relativity, reaction times and hand eye coordination. Also men tend to be more deviated from the mean in terms of performance metrics and intelligence. I'm pretty sure the male leagues are subsidizing the tournament earnings of the female leagues just like tennis now because we apparently feel the women deserve the same earnings as the men even though they draw less crowds, less revenue, less advertisers and they play slower less competitive games. Can we just accept that women and men are equals but not mirror images, they each have their strengths and weaknesses and we should embrace those instead of punishing the gender that is excelling in a certain area because of this notion that they're holding the other down. Women have equal access to computers and steam however through a combination of less skill in that one specific area and less interest do not really exist at the very top end of play, just because something isn't equal doesn't automatically mean there is this invisible patriarchal driving force keeping it that way.
@@BnMProductions11 The problem is that a lot of these brain differences aren't backed up by science. Scientifically speaking male and female brains are over 90% the same or comparable. Not only that, but the brain is highly malleable, and what was true 20 years ago could be a lot less true today. A reason why many women may not have had as good hand-eye coordination could be due to playing less sports and video games back in the day.
Another reason why this is false, is that many studies show serious bias in these tests or that tests are changed. One year women did better than men in the SATs. The next year those segments were removed. There's also evidence that even just telling women that they will not perform as well as men in areas, can drastically decrease performance.
The top female player in Tennis is undefeated. The only top players she's never beaten are those that retired before she could get a chance to play them. I doubt you could say the same about the top male tennis player.
Yes while most women are not as powerful as men typically in terms of physicality (Strength and Endurance), that's not the same as any sort of mental ability. Which even this isn't hard coded in terms of things like Genes or Body Frame, but instead more so due to hormones. We see this with regard to physical performance from Male to Female Transexuals who have been on hormones. In terms of mental differences, this is even MORE true when you look at just how malleable our brains are. Practice LITERALLY makes perfect. Take chess for example: The #1 factor that differs from those in the top to those beneath them are the number of hours practiced, and it's the same for musical skill. Sure there are SOME exceptions to this rule with savants, but this is the
So to say that "Well boys are just physically and naturally BETTER at Video Games due to their brains", really is just an oversimplification not backed up by Science.
@@TheAyanamiRei you use the 90% similarity in brains to back up your argument.. you know that we share 98% of our genes with the banana? so we as a species have more in common with a banana than the male and female brain have to each other... going by your example of simplified logics based on non-founded causation.
mabse3 ok so basically we actually share about 60% of our genes with bananas because everything alive evolved from a single cell organism and the reason why there is variety is how everything evolve. So even if humans and bananas share some of the same genes it doesn’t mean that we’re the same. Just depends on evolution.

Geguri is actually one of the best Zarya's I've seen in the game, but's that's really all she plays. Basically what I'm saying is they should've put her into the chinese feeder team before Dragons so she could get used to that level of play with other heroes. Another factor in Shanghai's 0-40 streak was just the fact that China decided to not pull from the best players they had. For some reason the Chinese government recruited a bunch of their "B listers" so to speak, instead of players like Eileen, Vanessa, or RIVEN, who would've dominated owl at the time

The FGC and specifically the 3D fighter scenes have quite a lot of high level competition from females with Tanukana, Yuyu, Cuddlecore, Kayane, and more competing at incredibly high levels in Tekken and Soul Calibur. The argument of cuteness seems to hold some weight given all the aforementioned main characters such as Xianghua, Ling, Asuka, and, well, cute female characters in general.
As for a representation of skill, Kayane is arguably the best Xianghua player in Soul Calibur. Cuddlecore’s taken games from top 3 US players. Yuyu’s has had arguably the best Ling on the planet at certain points in time, and is still competing at a high level after taking a break to have children.
The time argument is also pretty spot on, with Tanukana and a couple others saying they’ve foregone work, relationships, and other priorities just to get better at the game.
I think the fact fighters are such social scenes (given most legacy players learned at arcades or in person at tournaments vs playing online) has allowed for higher female representation at the highest level because it’s a lot easier to shittalk female players for nothing more than the fact they are female over voice than in person. Not that shittalking should ever be conducive to someone leaving a scene, but at the lowest entry level it can definitely hurt.
If you watch a few interviews with these players, you start to get the sense that maybe female players at the top level are uncommon because a lot of them don't actually want the pro gamer life, as I imagine many male players don't actually want the pro life. The amount of time dedicated to practicing and mastering competitive games are on the level of obsession as master chefs, or crazed artists who don't allow time for breaks or anything else in their lives. Totally commendable, but also completely understandable why only a few can get into that spot on the top and stay sane.

Something I think also contributes to the lack of female pro players is parental approval. Many players in pro gaming have had to prove their profession to their parents and Doublelift is a more extreme example where he left his parents home to pursue his career. In addition, gaming is seen as a male sport. Look at the things they advertise to gamers and how they advertise them. On twitch everyone's seen them pushing pizza rolls and energy drinks, products consumed mostly by young men. Speaking of twitch, it's not exactly friendly to women. If there's an event going on twitch chat spams grill if there's a woman on screen unless they speak in which case they spam HotPokket(the emote). Anyway I'm drunk.
There are female pro players in all TCG's (yugioh, hearthstone, magic the gathering). What makes those different from MOBA's?
Twitch is too friendly to women. Women get away with blatantly breaking the rules on their titty streams but are never banned for it because it brings in views and money. So a few people spam 'grill', that's not exactly offensive.

I have played occasionally ever since, and I play it a lot whenever I want to get game tokens to buy something
I am a female ahri main
And I LOVE seeing the reactions of other players when they find out I'm a girl. 🤣🤣🤣👏👌
