Female gaming - what's it all about?

In the Bible we can read that thousands of years ago, there was a paradise when the first man named Adam was created by God. But the Lord felt that there was something missing, so he took a part of Adam's body and created the first woman, Eve. For many years it was believed that Eve was the tool of Satan as she tempted Adam to eat the forbidden apple which broke the rule set by the God himself, and made 'Holy in His Name' to exile humans from the paradise. The Church treated women as evil in it's purest form, especially in medieval times.


Now in the twenty first century, women are praised. Thanks to the suffragette and suffragist movements they are also able to vote and have the same rights as men who were treating females as their own personal slaves for centuries. They can also show off their bodies in magazines, video-clips or even the movies that all men love to watch even if they're saying no which is an obvious lie by the way. Girls even want to work and make money which was previously the job of the head of the family. Everything has changed. At this point in your head there is a question 'why is this guy is telling me all this stuff about women?'. I'd love to answer it. The eSports world is a world dominated by men, thus I've decided to show you the other side of the story. Girls are playing computer games too, and they're good at it.

Female gaming is very underestimated, as most guys out there think that girls can be beaten easily, they can't play, and the only thing that keeps them in the community are their breasts and 'trunks'. Let's go through this phenomenon together starting from the difference between both sexes in theory and practice. I will try to do my best in creating the most in-depth material about female gaming with the focus on Counter Strike 1.6 scene as it's the biggest and mainly watched platform for women gaming.

IMO, altough the article is nicely written, it misses the point of professional female gaming. Managers and sponsors don't care about sex race or how cute the players are. The most important thing in female esports is that they attract attention of majority of spectators, and it makes playing girls great spots for banners.

Anyways, I support female gaming :D

I am cool with the female gaming, girls too must have their share. But I guess in the current economic atmosphere where eligible males aren't able to find proper sponsorship, it would be a bit difficult to get a kickstart.

This is so full of inaccuracies it's bad. Especially the part about Church and women being evil in its purest form. Women were, in fact, properly respected, they just had no political/whatever rights. Woman's place was considered to be that of a mother. Of course, there were numerous "witches" burnt, but then we are no longer talking about medieval times.

In my "extreme" oppinion if girls are bored of complaining about differences btw men and women, female gaming should simply dissapair since u got the same chances as a guy to be good or bad, i mean u dont need to run faster or beeing stronger all u need is a nice mind and fast hands, so as i said femalegaming for me is useless, there u can see ToSsGirl she's sc proffesional gamer and she plays against men without a problem =)

Stupid fake pic of obama, that girl was just added with photoshop/whatever.

About the article, I don't get why you felt you had to write the whole introduction about women's rights history through mankind. We're talking about female gamers ffs! This has nothing to do with having the right to vote or earning as much as a man.

We should support them so that their tries will mean something". - You think every guy who tries and sacrifises alot for E-sport but still becomes unknown gets supported for his efforts?. this world is about winning, NOT about trying.

Soon after that martwa quit professional gaming and started living her own life while rest of the girls were still playing. - how the FUCK can u call it a professional career if ur playing together with ur MOM and quitting so fast?. this article is just so sad that it makes me want to kill myself.

Why do women play?

For me this question is hard to answer. - they play because its fun just like the guys?. you obviously dont know how it is to play at a pro-level and u should stop writing as if u did.

There is also another thing I want to point out. Doing interviews with girls was so easy as never before with other gamers. They're still being humble and loving the game which most of professional male players forgot about - they are humble about their game because they put in approx 10 min a month getting to this "Level". If they want to be recognized they should stop playing in their own leagues and join the male ones.. otherwise it will just stay a joke.


you suck sir.
