In the second half of this year, the International Esports Federation (IESF)\u00a0and GIRLGAMER Esports Festival will collaborate to create a women’s CS:GO<\/a> tournament that will take place in Indonesia\u00a0at the World Esports Championship.<\/p>\n

The World Esports Championship is run by the IESF each year. There, national teams from across the globe compete in several esports titles, such as CS:GO, Dota 2<\/a>, and a number of popular fighting games.<\/p>\n

In a joint statement, GIRLGAMER and IESF committed to working together to further solidify ideals such as diversity and inclusiveness in the esports industry.<\/p>\n

The IESF\u00a0said in a public statement that it has inked a deal with Women in Games (WIG), a non-profit corporation whose mission is to foster a safe space for women in the gaming industry.

\nThe IESF\u00a0did not reveal\u00a0any more details regarding the all-female CS:GO tournament’s qualifying or prize money. The overall prize money for the World Esports Championship is US$500,000 (\u00a3373,000), and it will be split among the following six games: Dota 2,
PUBG<\/a> Mobile, CS:GO, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, and Tekken 7.<\/p>\n

This year’s prize pool marks a huge increase on the $55,000 total purse for 2021.<\/p>\n

“We are thrilled to be working with GIRLGAMER to continue expanding competitive opportunities for women in esports,” said IESF Secretary General Boban Totovski.<\/p>\n

“Hosting the first CS:GO Tournament at the World Esports Championships Finals will be a historic moment for the entire World Esports Family and we can\u2019t wait to work on even more initiatives together to create a more inclusive World Esports Family for generations to come.”<\/p>\n
