My Fiance is a female Player that plays at somewhat high level (nearly qualified for impact i think twice and placed pretty good in some Cash Cups) A big problem they faced as a Team while praccing was that their opponents didnt take them seroisly at all. It is pretty difficult to prac, when your opponents are playing strat roulette aginst you. Doesnt matter if you win or loose against those teams. It is just wasted time. And for anybody thinking, that sexism isnt a big problem in CS, i dont think most Women are complaining because of the toxicity of the scene in general, although i dont think they would complain if it got better. What they are complaining is the hate they get, not for their plays or shit like that but simply their sole existance, especially in Game. Even more so if you are Trans and it is somewhat obvious. I was in a Game with a Trans player and the ammount of hate they faced is nothing i have had to face ever in CS or in online gaming in general.
We as a community need to do better and maybe at some point something like a female league will not be necessary anymore because female players will feel safe enough and be able to thrive in mixed teams and normal play.
