Gamer girls rise up! INTZ, a professional League of Legends team has introduced a female player on their lineup,Julia 'Mayumi' Nakamura. She will be a part of the main roster of the team as a support player.
She debuted in a match a couple of days ago and did fairly well in the games!
She is a Challenger player and while her main account has been name changed, you can look at one of her accounts here!
It is no secret that the eSports scene is dominated by male players and people usually frown upon female players entering the league or any games mainly because they are seen as "feminine" and "not as good" as the male players. So it is a good thing that players like her are getting recognition for her hard work! INTZ has also been vocal about their goal for female players to enter the eSports industry
The stigma that girls are bad in gaming should really be reconsidered. If a person is talented enough, they can play in the highest competition. Let's not discredit the hard work girls are putting in to be good at the games they are playing!
