Den svenske eSportsorganisation Female Legends har netop modtaget en investering på fem millioner svenske kroner. Pengene skal bruges til at støtte op om organisationens arbejde, der går ud på at få kvinder involveret i eSporten. Dette er blevet rapporteret af Esportare, og projektet hedder "Future of E-sports".
Lige nu er eSporten domineret af mænd, så dette indskud fra den svenske Arvsfode skal forsøge at ændre på dette. Samtidig har computerbutikken Inet doneret 45 computere til projektet.
"In the project we will work with esports camps for females aged 13-26 years. Our objective is to get girls networking and improving in esports, while we at the same time investigate what parameters are influencing why so many girls stop playing esports in their early teens, and what obstacles they meet. We are also focusing on educating about esports, especially for parents and people working with children and teenagers. This will be achieved by three educational conferences with focus on esports and improving the culture on the internet," fortæller Female Legends-chefen Liza Lind til Esports Insider.
