Competitive arena shooters have always seemed the worst to me, so if cs2 has more women that's really good to hear. I think in a combined ~1k hours of csgo and valorant (haven't played either in years though) i can count the amount of times ive hears women speak in vcs on my hands, and I'm not sure if it was ever not followed by some stupid sexist comments.
Definitely seeing many women in other genres, just waiting for more to reach pro level so we actually see mixed gender or sometimes all women teams in professional esports commonly. As it stands it also still seems like a few too many people would immediately blame any bad performance on being a woman, and no one really wants to deal with that kind of public response.
