Have you ever thought of the concept of societal conditioning? And gender roles? Do you ever step out of your own shoes for a broader perspective? Educate yourself? Step out of your bubble?

Have you ever thought of the concept of societal conditioning? And gender roles? Do you ever step out of your own shoes for a broader perspective? Educate yourself? Step out of your bubble?
The ways people find out someones gender differ between the games but the result remains the same. And there are fore more ways to tell besides voice. E.g. name, avatar, whatever cosmetic options there are, champion picks and so on.
Obvious biological fact you pulled out of your ass. Your baby brain making some biased anecdotal connections is not scientific methodology.
At some point if you enter the high elo/pro scene you have to reveal your identity to some degree. The moment people connect your online name to the female gender you are going to face discrimination. You also cannot express your gender in any way before that (name, skins, champions played, role). Girls often like playing pretty/cute support champs and losers will attack you once they see your op.gg
And therefore you are partially onto something but the conclusion is wrong. There are probably more casually playing women than those in high elo circles. But the reason in once again societal pressure.
Everybody who actually knows about chess knows how full of shit you are. Every top pro knows of the elitism of players and their highly condescending view of women.
The belief women are mentally inferior is very common here. Also backlash due to " the role of women not being competing" but the usual female gender role shit.
Why reply when you didnt even read his comment? There are FAR more men playing video games. Therefore men dominating pro play is simple statistics.
Men can choose from the 0.01% of their group while women have to water their pool down significantly and having to choose from their top 1%. Obviously if you can be faaar more picky you pick better fruits.
If gaming was more welcoming and the female playerbase was equal in size we'd be much closer to a 50/50 split than we are currently.
Trans-women cant really get rid of their masculine voice. Therefore since the trait that would earn them harassment is not visible when playing games they get by better. Also many trans folk grew up with their wrong gender/didnt come out yet so they could get used to the space as kids and teenagers.
Saying women dont like competing is the most loser incel take imaginable. You really snitched on yourself that you never talk to girls that arent your mother.
They should be but they might need multiple months to get there.
KC has igl issues and 2 bots on the team. Liquid have potential but need to redeem themselves.
I would put Giants, Vitality and Koi on the same tier right now.
Notice the very few comments in this thread but all the silent downfrags. You guys are cowards.
Another thing a lot of these losers get wrong is making the baby ass deduction:
Gaming is men only --> must mean all women are genetically inferior at playing VIDEO games
Like how fucking dumb are you. Evertime a girl uses the mic theres a 50%+ chance of getting told to shut the fuck up because youre a woman or the old " Back to the kitchen" Or " Girl in team = lose", "you suck (cuz girl) " etc. Of course people dont wanna play as much if you get treated like this constantly.
Some losers counterpoint here is that "men get shit too, people are toxic to us too!!! ". Like dude, no shit. But noone shits on you BECAUSE YOURE MALE.
--> That means women get: The usual toxicity + EXTRA MISOGINY ON TOP === Much more toxicity than you deflecting losers get.
Youre critical thinking skills are elementary school levels. Go to the other thread to help you understand.
Are you fucking r-? The tier of the comp doesnt matter. The comp itself matters a lot. You personally have no obligation to be interested and watch but going out of your way to disparage their play is just a dick move.
On the other GC post right now a bunch of guys say things like keep the "fake women" away from the "womens competition". Do you really not get what the comp really is for??? Its literally in the name. Game Changers.
They introduced this to normalize the presence of marginalized groups in gaming (E.g. women, both cis and trans as well as non-binary and so on) and therefore over time raise acceptance of them. That would in turn lead to many more of them to be comfortable in this space and starting gaming.
This is --> E <-- sports. Not Boxing or football. There is literally 0 reason to keep cis and trans women apart. Being taller and stronger doesnt impact anything in the digital world. You're just using this situation to shit on trans women like the bigots you are. Too dumb to realize that your demands make no sense.
And lastly a lot of people dont understand with what words to express the difference between "real" women and "fake" (?) ones. Which is understandable if not done maliciously. It goes like this:
1.1 Cis-women <-- this js what you call "real"
1.2 Trans-women
What exactly to you believe is the "biological difference" that "leads to different performance levels" ?
Honestly i think it would be cool for FNC to finally get one. And Chronicle being the only 2x would be great since he gets so little attention despite being one of the goats.
And why do you think is a seperate competition for women necessary?
Navi has already won one.
What? Why exactly do you think Game Changers exists? Im very curious.
A lot of Carlos defending Nuthuggers in this thread. Yikes.

Navi stomped ascent attack side everytime they played it
he is really dropping the ball this map. This could have been a far better half for DRX if he did better
Loud haha more like QUIET. Do Q sign now KEKW
There are no big forums. Just reddit twitter and discords
I agree. This should not come as a surprise. But getting a confirmation is always better.
At least some effort went into it instead of the usual bait one liners followed up by KEKWs.
My pleasure
Part 1: Team Cores
Alpha
Out of the 16 teams who competed in the Alpha bracket 11 had pre-existing cores of 3 or more players. The other five were Kcorp, Giants, KOI, Heretics and GenG. This means that with the exception of BBL all EMEA teams were at a significant disadvantage to their competitors.
Koi fell after playing 2 close maps against NRG (RD -6) who are widely regarded as the 5th best team of the tournament and NAs best. Giants even took a map off of them after beating DFM. KC likewise beat FPX and played two close maps against World Champions Loud who qualified for playoffs. Admittedly Heretics got soundly defeated by a weak EG team and are the black sheep of EMEA in the Alpha bracket.
Omega
7 out 16 teams were new here (TL, Krü, Vitality, GE, T1, Sentinels, Rex Regum). Vitality played a fantastic first map against the LATAM superteam but tragically lost after triple OT and it seemed like the young team couldnt mentally recover for map 2. TL however was the black sheep of this side of the bracket. Very disappointing.
North America had 4 teams with pre-existing cores yet they are entirely absent from LockIn playoffs. Out of EMEAs 4 cores (NAVI, FNC, FUT, BBL) on the other hand 2 qualified for playoffs (NAVI, FNC) whereas FUT was 2 rounds away from 2-0ing 100T. The american team was considered to be a contender for the title of best north american team. Lastly BBL managed to take a map off of playoff team DRX in their 2-1 defeat to them.
Part 2: Stats
Out of the 4 playoffs teams only the EMEA teams did not drop a single map. Loud lost one (NRG) and DRX lost 3 (BBL, C9, Talon).
Loud had a round win differential of +24 while going to OT 3 times (GenG, 2x NRG); DRX +28 with no OTs; Navi +39 with no OTs; FNC +34 with one OT (Furia)
7 out of the top 10 players at LockIn according to VLR ratings are from EMEA (2 KR, 1 BR) and 12 out of the top 20 (+ 1 LATAM, 1 BR, 1 CN, 2 NA). The best player is Shao
Sorted by ACS 8/10 Top lockin players are from EMEA (1 KR, 1 PHI), and again 12/20. Number one is Derke.
Conclusion:
With more develoment time EMEA is poised to become the clear best region in Valorant again due to already fielding Top level teams and having the most room for growth left.
He was fantastic in the past already. Now he has an elite team to shine on.
Honorable mentions:
Tier 1 Cned, Zyppan, Suygetsu, Chronicle,
Tier 2 Mwzera, Shyy, Alfajer, crashies, nats, Aspas
Cis is part of europe. Only turkey argument is semi valid.
This is the true answer you were looking for.
Shao
Derke
Mako
Leo
Less
Actually no igl so it doest work. Hmm...
Right now probably Ange1 for Mako or Less then.
Personally i think omega just had the better teams but playoffs will be absolutely fire regardless. Only great teams left.
Navi 3-2 FNC
Drx 2-3 Loud
Navi 3-1 Loud
Prx has fallen off hard after Copenhagen and hasnt been a top team ever since. They suck.
I dont expect C9 and 100T to be more than decent teams. Sen maybe has some minor Potential with their new core.
Lev is the most likely to become elite out of those teams.
Emea has way higher talent spread due to the many many leagues. Turkey and France seem to have the highest viewership so longterm you will probably see the best teams there.
Ascension will be very strong here too but the individual Challengers leagues will obviously be stronger in Americas.
