BATTLE OF THE SEXES: THE FIGHT FOR WOMEN'S ESPORTS | THE ESPORTS JOURNAL |
Published in early January 2023, this article explores the present and potential of the women's Apex Legends scene. Several esports have fast-developing women's scenes, and Apex Legends is no exception. However, the women of Apex Legends have - in my opinion - more untapped talent than any other game.

"Battle of the Sexes" examines the current structure of women's esports ecosystems, alongside evaluating the commercial viability of the scene. Overall, it advocates for greater support for a growing scene with vast potential, particularly for the women competing.

Examining the present and potential of women’s Apex Legends:
Women’s Esports has seen a well-deserved boom in 2022, but no game has captured my heart as swiftly as Apex Legends. Watching tournaments such as the Risen Rose “Rose Cup” and Celestial Cup demonstrates the absolute dominance some of these women display. With rising interest in women’s esports, it’s time to take the plunge and appreciate their talent. |
Given the past, present, and hopeful future of women’s esports, certain crucial takeaways are worth acknowledging in resolving the Battle of the Sexes. As is evident from historical statistics, PC and console esports fall well behind on women’s participation numbers. Successes in 2022 — most notably VCT Game Changers — demonstrate some shifts towards greater investment in the women’s scene. |
