"We are honored to be part of such an important initiative. Women Win is an incredible organization, and we are thrilled to be working with Amuka Esports and Wisdom on this series. Events like this are crucial to help us build a brand that stands for positive change in the industries that we are part of. Women play more games than men worldwide and yet the esports industry is still dominated by male pro players, mostly because of prejudice and toxic behavior creating a barrier against female players and diversity in general. We want to show that it's fundamental for the industry to open more doors and bring gender balance to esports. A special shoutout to the incredible team of women leading this amazing project, this will be a tremendous success because of all of you" - stated Daniel Japiassu, CEO of YDX Innovation.
The Companies have secured funds for the execution of the event but are looking for more sponsors and brands interested in supporting the fundraising campaign. If you or your company are interested, please reach out to hey@ydxinnovation.com.
