Because most girls don't have the inclination or skill to turn pro. The only even remote girl I know who could turn pro (but 99% won't, at least for a long time) is Chik, who plays on a challenger 3s team (it actually has decayed to D1 but it was Challenger before) with MegaZero, cupofwater and Symptom.

I'm pretty sure Siren has already shown it as being as a joke.

But IMO it's totally possible. There are quite a few of high Elo girls.

Video games are overall still seen as a thing for men and not for women. Also, women are generally less competetive than men which means they are less likely to invest so much time. Last, girls tend to mature at an earlier age than boys and playing games doesn't fit that.



This post.
Very much sexist. :D
Women do play games.
But the games they play aren't seen as proper video games.


There are women that can do well in male dominated games. But mostly those games do not interest women due to their violent nature.
And even if you see women in LoL, most prefer the role of support. It complements their inherent nurturing nature.

There are a lot of girl streamers who are good at the game, but very rarely do they gain viewers because of their skills :(

but as far as I know there aren't even any girls in Challenger.

There might be some girls that are better than some of the LCS players.
But due to the team constellation, they do not fit in as a person themselfes.

You know, most of the time a girl gets into a group of nerds, drama appears and makes that group break up into different parties.

Therefore, most teams with girls are teams full of girls, making them rather weak and seemingly like jokes.


Unless there is a rule, idk, that mixed teams are not allowed xD

I personally only know one or two female gamers that have reached D1 ON THEIR OWN. Don't know any that are D1 50+.

Notice when Dignitas put out that they were looking for a Top they said, 'D1 80+ only'. There will be a girl gamer at some point in the LCS I just worry that its going to be done for PR reasons and not based on the individual players skill level.
