More women should join esports and poker games

Over the years, esports and poker have become more and more popular. These two games are still dominated by men. For Team Liquid and Poker Powher, this situation needs to change. Both organizations believe that women have a huge space to occupy in both areas. They must be constantly empowered. Let them take action and show the world that they can also be like their male counterparts in these two games. Compete and succeed.

Team Liquid is mainly composed of women. They decided to organize a charity tournament exclusively for women as part of their celebration of Women's History Month. Cris Amaya, the head of the organization's activities, said that their main goal is to find a platform for women from different groups to gather together, inspire and support each other, and become a stronger voice.

Since esports and poker face the same challenges in terms of female representation, Team Liquid contacted Poker Powher to initiate the event.

Poker Powher

Poker Powher has been teaching women the basics of poker, which in turn will help them achieve great success in their chosen profession.

By exposing women to poker games, they can learn emotional discipline, strategic thinking, make correct decisions, evaluate opponents, and build relationships in a competitive and fun environment. Not only can they become better poker players, but they can also learn some valuable life skills.

Poker Powher advocates tolerance and eliminates the patriarchal factor. The company also shares the same passion with them to build a community of empowered, fearless women.

Team Liquid

Team Liquid also empowers women and believes in their abilities. Many of their administrative positions are held by women. The organization was established in 2000 and has grown into a diversified global company, sponsoring dozens of championship-level athletes in various games.
