ESL Counter-Strike has unveiled a new initiative, #GGFORALL, a program aimed towards women in esports. It contains a number of measures, but most notably a new ESL woman’s CS:GO circuit. The initiative is aiming to build up a women’s CS:GO scene, with regional leagues and LAN events, which will be supported by a woman’s council and talent development program.
The CS:GO women’s circuit will feature a prize pool of $500,000 with online regional parts of the league to foster new talent. These will then lead into two global finals set to be held at DreamHack Dallas and DreamHack Winter. This will be a standalone pro league with different teams competing.
The league will be beginning with its first split in March. This part is going to last through May. Then, the top teams will move forward to the League Final at DreamHack Dallas in June. Alongside the events themselves, the ESL Woman’s CS:GO circuit is having some infrastructure to support its efforts. The woman’s council will provide feedback on how the project is going. The aim is to help make sure this initiative is longer lasting than previous efforts, and hopefully with better results.
The #GGFORALL initiative will also be including a talent development program. This will aim to find new woman casters and on-screen talent for future CS:GO events.
