Unikrn CEO Pledges to Sponsor Any League of Legends Team That has Female

eSports betting site Unikrn wants more women involved and, to that end, the firm’s CEO Rahul Sood has vowed to sponsor any League of Legends team that has a woman on its roster.

"I love the gaming industry, there are women throughout the industry doing amazing things, from engineering, game design, environmental and character design, and executive leadership roles," Sood wrote. "However, in professional gaming, there's something really missing."

He added:  "I will do whatever we can to help promote and connect that team with other brands that I currently work with and have worked with in the past," Sood wrote. "That's my personal commitment. This isn't a gimmick, this is an effort to make a difference in a space that I can control."

Only two female eSports players have accumulated six digit earnings: Katherine Gunn and Sasha Hostyn.
