The most-viewed esports game in women’s leagues, Valorant, is a first-person shooter that will be played by four teams of professional gamers.
Streamer and host Meg ‘Megsoundslikeegg’ Gardner stated, “The more people see that you can enjoy gaming as someone who isn’t native to it, the more confident they’ll get and the more they’ll enjoy it.”
At London’s Red Bull Gaming Sphere, competitors are vying for a £15,000 prize pool over the course of two days.
One of the greatest Valorant players in the world, Michaela “mimi” Lintrup, who began playing professionally at the age of 18, stated: “It was not as popular back then as it is now.”
