If ESWC would've put the money from FE competition into the male competition prizepool, maybe they could actually atract some decent teams there..

Because advertisers are smarter than you, idiot. Just a few hundred girls that look up to these "celebrities" and buy $50 mouse pads = profit. For every 100 virgin morons you see with $200 NiP jerseys at $100 boring events, it takes just 1 girl. Also, the money you lost on skins.

Retarded would be to have the female teams get completely rekt. They are far below the male players so the matches would be ridiculous and I'm sure the motivation just would not be there for women after getting steamrolled over and over again.

All tournaments are unisex. The only tournaments that discriminate are "female only" tournaments. If you dont support sexism, then dont watch and eventually they will go away.

This is so stupid, why do they differ women from man in first place? This is eSports, not Sports. Aren't they as much capable as we are? They should just play in the same leagues and same torunaments, the good teams will go through, simple as that.

"Aren't they as much capable as we are?" Not even close. There are tons of other sports too where one might think there's no advantage for either sex but where women still have their own leagues because they can't compete with the men. Imagine something like snooker or darts. Or hell maybe even chess. I don't think anyone knows exactly why it is but the difference is real, a proven fact. It's a weird thing but still a fact, the women are not even close to as capable as men in CS or any other eSport.

I would compare female only tournaments to the "Special Olympics". No-one really gives a shit but have fun competing.
