Ryan’s critique underscores how the idea of creating an all-female esports team to prove a point echoes past failures in the industry. One notable example discussed is Victus Esports, an all-female Russian League of Legends team that competed in the LCL (league of legends Continental League).

The team was subsequently expelled after only a year, illustrating the structural and competitive hurdles women face in esports.
