Eve Ascension Initiative
The Eve Ascension initiative began in 2022, leveraging tournaments, events, and community engagement to provide a safe space for all players. The inaugural edition focused on a VALORANT tournament. This year, in partnership with Alienware, the initiative aims to address the toxicity and harassment faced by women and marginalized genders.
Team Liquid’s Expanding Presence
Team Liquid continues to expand its presence in the esports industry through new partnerships. In March 2024, it teamed up with Carrefour Brasil to launch a gaming-focused campaign, while in February, the organization collaborated with Sui to create a fan loyalty platform.
Raider.IO’s Diversity
Raider.IO takes pride in being a black-owned company, with 50% of its team comprised of women and gender minorities, including in leadership positions. The Raider.IO team proudly represents members of the LGBTQIA+ community, people of color, and individuals from diverse cultural backgrounds, united by their shared experiences.
Conclusion
The World of Warcraft Eve Ascension 2024 series promises to be an exciting event, not only for esports enthusiasts but also for those interested in promoting diversity and inclusion within gaming communities.
