Women in Esports launches women-only tournaments with FACEIT and separate community Discord

The British Esports Association, the not-for-profit organisation set up to promote and support grassroots esports, has partnered with FACEIT, the world’s leading platform for competitive online gaming, as part of its ongoing Women in Esports initiative.
Women in Esports will have its own organiser page on FACEIT and will create women-only tournaments and hubs. The Women in Esports initiative aims to create a welcoming community which encourages more women (including trans and cis women) and femme identifying/femme presenting non-binary players to take part in esports tournaments at any level.
Women-only tournaments are viewed by Women in Esports as a stepping stone to give women more confidence and experience to then aim for further involvement in other tournaments (mixed or otherwise) in the future.
The organiser page will initially focus on Counter Strike:Global Offensive (CS:GO) as the first title for tournaments and hubs, primarily due to the fantastic female community prevalent on FACEIT for this title. The variety of tournaments and hubs will later expand with future pilots for other titles.
The first 5v5 CS:GO tournament, The Lioness League, will open for registrations on Friday November 27th and occur on Saturday December 12th. There will be a max of 32 teams in a single elimination bracket. Participants will be able to join as a premade team or join as a solo player and form a team. The prize will be 3000 FACEIT points: 2000 points for the winning team, and 1000 points for second place. This will be the start of regular monthly tournaments.
Our CS:GO hub will enable players to create teams and scrim against each other. The hubs will be private by application, open to women (including trans and cis women) and femme identifying/femme presenting non-binary players to join.
Women in Esports has also created its own separate community Discord server to further its aim of providing an inclusive community space. The server will be public and open to everyone, with many social channels, announcements, an industry section, along with specific tournament chat. It will be vetted, moderated and constantly updated as per feedback and changes in line with the initiative.
“We’re delighted to partner with Women in Esports, a team that shares our passions and values. FACEIT is committed to developing grassroots opportunities and supporting the community. We want everyone to feel comfortable and confident when taking their first steps into esports and we’re hoping this hub will offer a safe space for women to come together and compete,” said Sue Lavasani, Account Manager at FACEIT.
Alice Leaman, Schools and Colleges Liaison Officer at British Esports, said: “Through Women in Esports we aim to build a community and encourage more women to get involved in the industry. By partnering with FACEIT we can start to develop more regular tournaments and opportunities for all skill levels and the creation of a community Discord will provide a dedicated space for diversity in esports to be celebrated.”

Hitting for six: SPRIBE announces Suresh Raina as Aviator brand ambassador

Indian cricket legend becomes the latest athlete to promote the world’s number one crash games to his fans
SPRIBE, the pioneering software provider behind the world’s number one crash game, Aviator, has added cricket legend Suresh Raina to its growing roster of brand ambassadors.
Raina is a former Indian international cricketer known for his explosive batting, sharp fielding and inspiring team leadership.
He was a key player in India’s 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup victory and was also a star player for the Chennai Super Kings, helping the team secure multiple Indian Premier League titles.
His accolades don’t stop there. Raina was the first Indian to score a T20I century and remains one of League’s top run-scorers to this day.
Outside of cricket, he’s a successful entrepreneur, philanthropist and influential public figure.
As an Aviator brand ambassador, Raina will promote the game to his fans across various channels and through a range of campaigns over the coming 12 months.
He joins other Aviator brand ambassadors such as UFC superstars like Tom Aspinall, Alex Pereira, Johnny Walker and Merab Dvalishvili.
Aviator is the original crash game with more than 42 million active players a month placing upwards of 350,000 bets per minute across more than 5,500 online casino sites.
David Natroshvili, Founder & CEO at SPRIBE, said: “We are hitting for six with the partnership with Suresh, one of the most iconic and celebrated cricketers in India.
“Suresh was renowned for his explosive batting and thrilling style of play, and this makes him the perfect person to help us drive awareness of Aviator among cricket and sports fans in India.
“Aviator is the original crash game and players love the high-risk/high-reward gameplay it provides, and we are really looking forward to rolling out campaigns featuring Suresh that show this.”
Suresh Raina, former Indian cricketer and now Aviator ambassador, added: “Playing Aviator is the closest I have come to the thrill of playing professional cricket and I couldn’t be happier to help drive awareness of the game among my fans and followers.
“Aviator is action-packed with tons of social interaction and plenty of big win potential. Players have control over the outcome as they get to decide when to cash out – for those that can hold their nerve the longest, the biggest prizes await.
“SPRIBE has some great campaigns planned for the months ahead and I look forward to working with the team to help Aviator really take flight among cricket fans in India and beyond.”
