If you take a look at the traditional professional sports, you will see how the natural difference between sexes can look like slight discrimination against females. Naturally, this is not something that was done on purpose. Male sportsmen are much more popular than females. Thankfully, ladies have the opportunity to present their qualities in eSports. Have you heard about eSports? Well, we are going to be blunt with the explanation.
Well, we are going to be blunt with the explanation. These are video games that turned into professional sports or eSports. For example, you will see that there is a plethora of tournaments that are attracting a high number of players from all around the world. In some of these games, there are even national teams. Naturally, the highest-ranking tournaments are involving some kind of prize money. We can draw a parallel between these and for example, the European Champions League when it comes to soccer or NBA in basketball.
Even though gaming was closely tied to the male player, you’d be surprised how many female players are considered to be the best one in some of the games. This is the reason we’ve decided to compile a list of the most popular female eSports players in the world. We are going to rank them on their popularity and the amount of money they managed to accumulate throughout their careers.
Some of them are so good at games they play that they are considered professionals. The same goes for male players. Recently, we’ve stumbled across the information that a professional video game player can even tutor you. That way you are going to be able to increase your skill in a certain game, learn from the best players in the world, and take a look at some analytics they will provide you with. If you are interested in it, check this. Now, let us present to you our list of the most popular female eSports players.
