With the introduction of ESL Impact Season 1, a new light was put on the female CS:GO players at the start of 2022. After the completion of Season 1, the best female teams were invited to Valencia to compete at the ESL Impact Valencia tournament with $100.000 in the prize pool. The tournament was held concurrent with the ESL Challenger Valencia, where Movistar Riders ended up winning on home turf in front of Outsiders.
With the TV coverage of the female tournament, we also got the chance of getting to know the different female players a lot better. The best team in the world at the moment, Nigma Galaxy won the tournament and the $50.000 that followed in first prize.
We asked Scope.gg to analyze the tournaments in order to compare different statistics from the two events. Here are some of the most interesting numbers.
