"Since ESL Impact’s debut in 2022, we’re continuing to catalyze change and redraw the lines of gender disparity in esports through our dedicated ecosystem," ESL Impact product manager Charlie Sirc said.
Sirc added that Dallas marks the place where the ESL Impact journey took off. Therefore, her team cannot be more excited to return for another round of CS2 gameplay. "I really want women in the audience watching the games to feel inspired and believe that this could be them in a couple of years – because that’s what ESL Impact is all about."
