    I don’t follow eSports but why does a video game need gendered leagues? Gender has no performance impacts for video games.

      He addresses this in the video. Some of it is the on boarding within the game itself (official matchmaking) is super toxic towards female players, a league like esl impact helps foster competition and develop talent within the female player base, also having all female leagues is not really the end goal but more like a stepping stone towards having mixed teams. Which leads to having a larger player base to pull players from and that ends up being a positive for everyone in the scene.
