Female gaming is very underestimated, as most guys out there think that girls can be beaten easily, they can't play, and the only thing that keeps them in the community are their breasts and 'trunks'. Is that true?
Let's go through this phenomenon together starting from the difference between both sexes in theory and practice. I will try to do my best in creating the most in-depth material about female gaming with the focus on Counter Strike 1.6 scene as it's the biggest and mainly watched platform for women gaming.

fnatic captain Kwom: MYM worthiest opponent
After defeating German nfinity in the semi final of the Farm4Fame playoff, fnatic will take on their ever adversary MeetYourMakers.
Previous encounters between the two show a very tight history, and the fnatic captain Edvin "Kwom" Börjesson sees MYM as the worthiest opponent right now.
- It feels pretty okay facing MYM in the final, it is the team that I think is the worthiest opponent right now, says Kwom but adds that he withdraws all the teams outside of Europe in his calculations since it's simply too hard to prove due to host abuse.
With numbers of big tournaments coming up, with SMM Grand Final and DreamHack soon on the horizon, Farm4Fame is not that big a deal for Kwom.
- I can only speak for myself, but I don't think it has such big importance compared to LAN and tournaments with a bigger prize purse.
