The British Esports Association has partnered with esports platform FACEIT as part of its ‘Women in Esports’ initiative.
As a result of the collaboration, Women in Esports will gain its own organiser page on the platform, with the initiative creating women-only tournaments in order to encourage females to take part in competitive gaming.
The initiative is also welcoming trans, cis women and femme identifying/femme presenting non-binary players to the competitions, which will initially be focussed on Counter Strike:Global Offensive (CS:GO).
Alice Leaman, Schools and Colleges Liaison Officer at British Esports, stated: “Through Women in Esports we aim to build a community and encourage more women to get involved in the industry.
