The assumption that women can not dwell and careers in the world of eSports may indeed be a stigma that is still strong today. However, slowly but surely, this stigma decreased thanks to the tough women who managed to carve his name in the history of world esports. Sasha "Scarlett" Hostyn is one of those tough ladies.
The Canadian pro player is the first woman to win the Major Tournament Starcraft 2. His victory at Intel Extreme Masters for Starcraft 2 makes Hostyn entitled to take home the grand prize of US $ 50,000.
The tournament, which took place in Pyeongchang, South Korea, is working with the International Olympic Committee and asks for players' representatives from each country.
This competition is also not a special competition women player, instead Hostyn is the only female representative in the event this Starcraft 2. In the final round, he managed to beat the host of Kim "sOs" Yoo-Jim, who is also a 2x champion WCS Global.
According to Polygon, Sasha "Scarlett" Hostyn himself is a female esport athlete with the most income of around $ 200,000 and has even been awarded by Guinness: Book World of Records as a women's esports athlete with the most revenues in 2016.
Scarlett's achievements will certainly be a new milestone for women and hopefully followed by other female players, such as Kim "Geguri" Se-Yeon who became the first female player to follow the upcoming Overwatch League Season 2.
