Female Gamers Not Permitted To Join Upcoming Finnish Hearthstone Tournament
A Reddit user recently discovered an alarming requirement in the upcoming Hearthstone tournament held by the Finnish eSports Federation, covertly placed restrictions that prohibit any females from entering the event. The official Facebook Page for the event states that the IeSF are trying to lobby eSports as a traditional and legitimate sporting event, following the path of other sports and restricting inter-gender competition. "The decision to divide male and female competitions was made in accordance with international sports authorities, as part of our effort to promote e-Sports as a legitimate sports," the organization stated. I can understand separating males and females in some sports, it's only logical. But in a game where nothing really matters but your ability to play tactically and intelligently, it makes absolutely zero sense to restrict female gamers from participating.Leave a comment
