G2’s female Valorant team, popularly known as G2 Gozen became the only female roster to get invited to the Red Bull Home Ground Qualifier which the community believed could have exposed them to “sexist remarks”.
Sexism in cases like this is not an unprecedented occurrence. We previously reported sexism within the Valorant community where male pro players refuse to play matches with female pros. Being the only team in the event with a female roster, it was presumed that G2 Gozen would face sexism but the players assured that this wasn’t the case and everyone was very respectful towards them.
“At the end of the day, you have to play the best to become the best, and losing is no embarrassment to us as we are proud to compete and will make sure to be in our best shape for the upcoming Champions tournament,” said Mimi. “Sexist comments do not help the scene grow in the right direction!” she added.
Along with Mimi, other G2 Gozen players joined the train and revealed how they were treated respectfully. Despite losing, they reflected on the importance of the experience they garnered from this event and how it will help them prepare for the upcoming events.
