CS= 5 players
Wc3= 1 player
They are not even playing in bikinis/topless to make it worth for the media/marketing. Invite WoW teams instead, many do not like the game at all, but it brings more spectators than some female CS compo, for real.
esports are mostly a male territory and it's part of a male's nature the interest on its opposite so, girls are always girls, wherever they are.
and media-wise, it's much easier to gather interest from a newspaper or television company because you have 70 girls from 14 different countries playing a computer game commonly associated with guys than another "boys playing pc" party.
or why the hell would professional teams have a female counter-strike squad that play for something big twice a year?
Me like.
