Women's CS:GO on the UpriseYear One Documentary

“To every girl out there who is now starting to play CS:GO, I know how hard it is to play all alone and having to deal with sexist trolls even on your own team. I promise that it’s worth the hours you put into a game you truly love and enjoy! I’m very grateful to be able to play esports professionally and watching the female scene grow, only makes me want to work harder every day.”

#GGFORALL is an initiative launched to combat negativity and toxicity within the esports industry and foster diversity and inclusivity. Currently, ESL Impact is the main focus, established to provide a safe, competitive environment for women in Counter-Strike. #GGFORALL also includes an environmentally-friendly approach within gaming and esports 🌳 It’s not GG until it’s #GGFORALL

A women’s only league is just one step on the way towards a more diverse Counter-Strike scene. ESL Impact provides a competitive environment for the top women’s teams of the world, where they can feel safe and comfortable while competing. The goal of ESL Impact is to reach a point where a separate league is no longer needed and mixed teams become the norm. Until then though, we’re proud to support the competitive women’s CS:GO scene. 💪
