It's funny how this is another aspect that is never considered of how men and women are different as the main focus is on physical strength, endurance and durability.
Video games reduce the physical strength and endurance needed in exchange for higher mental aptitude like strategies, innovations, reactions / body coordinations and staying focused under heavy stress, and guess what? Men still dominate that too. There was a famous event about a women only team trying to compete in a pro-tournament in League of Legends, actually practiced seriously and had professional coaching and everything, they never won any single match but won the record for fastest loss.
You know what's funny is the build up of "there's a woman's only team that was picked specifically that way and they got a lot of media hype only to set records for saddest loss" applies to a LOT of pro videogames.

Was that the team where their opponents picked supports only as a handicap and still they lost spectacularly?
That was Rioters vs Pros. Supports got nerfed after that.
