On March 8, International Women’s Day is celebrated around the world. The day highlights the achievements of women and reminds us that there is still work to be done to ensure equal opportunities, including in esports.

While progress is being made, women are still underrepresented in many competitive environments. At the same time, there are countless talented players, coaches, casters and volunteers who contribute to the scene every single day. Their work and dedication continue to push esports forward.

Over the past year, several players have had the chance to attend tryouts as part of our rebuild project. As we work towards building a new Valorant Game Changers roster, dozens of players have been invited to try out and show what they can bring to the team. The process has taken time, but it has also made one thing very clear: there is a lot of talent in the women’s scene.

For us, building a team is not just about results. It is also about creating a safe and supportive environment where players can develop over time. Opportunities like this are important if we want more players to feel that esports is something they can seriously pursue.

In recent years, women’s teams and players have made a clear impact on Norwegian esports. In 2024, our team won Norway’s largest women’s Valorant tournament. A year later, we were also awarded “Most Inclusive Esports Club 2025” at the Scandinavian Business Awards.

On International Women’s Day, we want to highlight all the women who contribute to esports, whether as players, coaches, organizers or supporters. Your dedication is an important part of the continued growth of the community. So today, we want to take a moment to thank all the women who help shape and strengthen the scene.
