Ignoring the admittance of defeat on the gender equality front, I have a few questions in regards to "women-only" eSports:
a) What is it in response to?
b) Based on what evidence from who?
c) Is this temporary or permanent? Even if the problem it is meant to solve eventually gets solved?
d) Will this be an equal T1 league or a feeder league?
e) Will there be restrictions limiting them from existing feeder leagues?
Purely marketing / $$$. Corporations sponsor these types of initiatives and if you take away the discriminatory action, so does the money (i.e. it won't be on the table for non-segregated initiatives).
