Fans and members of the Overwatch community have been critical of the competitive scene’s gender disparity since its inception—and for good reason.
In the Overwatch League’s five-year existence, there has only been one female player: former Shanghai Dragons tank Kim “Geguri” Se-yeon, who no longer plays competitively. The Overwatch Contenders community has also only seen a handful of female or nonbinary competitors in its history, with many potential talents lost to toxicity and a lack of opportunities.
