Inclusion and Diversity Awareness

We believe that every individual, regardless of their gender, deserves the opportunity to succeed and thrive in the esports industry. We recognise that the industry has historically been male-dominated and that women and marginalised genders have faced systemic barriers to entry and advancement.

We refuse to accept this status quo.

We are committed to creating a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive esports industry. We believe that diversity and inclusivity are essential for driving innovation, creativity, and success. We are dedicated to empowering women and marginalised genders to achieve their full potential in esports, and to inspiring more individuals to participate in all aspects of the industry.
