And then even worse happened - one CiS team went bankrupt and had no money to hire players, but were obligated to play by contract, so they hired some low quality female streamers, plus accountant of that team played there, so they had very low quality female players there, and went into championship, and never won a game, most games they were trolled - boys were not just winning against them, but mocking them. That even more showed bad role models for girls who would maybe wanted to play - they saw that they will be mocked and that girls play bad. I was so angry.

I didn't know that. That sucks. The league community in general is so toxic tho.

It even was in news:

Boys/men just were mocking them on respawn, not ending game. And it was in the very first game of girls/women. I bet it was very hard hit to morale. In general they stopped even trying to win in next few games. Not like they had any chance - they were gold-platinum rankings/elo, playing against diamond and challenger (and it is not like there no challenger girls/women to take - I was in challenger at one point, team leads just had no money and took any teen girl/woman they were able to take, including just friends. So it was just "we need to do contract somehow, but lets make public appearance" and instead they made women look really bad in this game.

That's awful... I just remember the whole Team Siren thing years ago. I don't know what the fuck was that about but it made me cringe and sad at the same time. I wonder if it was a similar situation.
