โจ Who are we?
โจ What do we respresent?
โจ Why is it important?
Here's a bit about what we've been up to and what we hope to achieve:
More "female-only only" esports tournaments like this are need to inspire more young girls and women both to watch and play. Having men and women competing at the highest levels in open tournaments is still the ultimate aim.
