The World Esports Championships features national teams in different esports titles, ranging from CS:GO to Dota 2 to fighting games.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nGIRLGAMER and IESF said they would “work together to further cement values such as diversity and inclusion” within esports.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nIESF also mentioned in a release that it has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Women in Games (WIG), a non-profit organisation focused on creating an equal and safe environment for women in gaming.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nThe IESF did not announce further details about the qualifiers or prize pool for the female CS:GO tournament. However, the overall World Esports Championship prize pool is $500,000 (~\u00a3373,000)<\/a>, which will be distributed across six games: PUBG Mobile, Dota 2, CS:GO, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang, and Tekken 7.<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n
\n \nThe prize pool for this year is significantly larger than in 2021, when it stood at $55,000 (~\u00a341,000).<\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n
