eSports do not distinguish by gender. No virtual competition includes in its rules the segregation of individuals based on their sex, which allows female gamers to compete equally with other athletes.
This is the list of the highest paid female video game players in the market. It is worth mentioning that none of the top 15 play Dota 2, currently the highest paying eSport in the market but also the one with the highest difficulty curve.
To find the first female Dota 2 player on the list, you have to go down to position 173 with total earnings of $1179. In contrast to male players, this top 15 is far below in total earnings. Despite the fact that in eSports there is no gender distinction in any of the competitive leagues.
