Their living room, in Waukegan, Illinois, heated up when she started winning.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe would get so angry, and then we started fighting,\u201d Ellen said. \u201cHe got mad because I was better than he was, and I would lose to him on purpose to not hurt his feelings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As the competitive gaming industry grows in prize pools, collegiate scholarships and high-profile investments, female players are still fighting for their seats at the e-sports table. Their first-round opponent? Stereotyping and harassment.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>In September, 2013, 21 years after the sibling showdown, Elizabeth led an all-female team to compete in a tournament at Atlanta. In the second round of the winners bracket, her team faced off against No.1 seed, compLexity. Before the match started, compLexity\u2019s captain, Patrick \u201cACHES\u201d Price, changed his in-game handle to \u201cGIMME A SAMICH.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth laughed it off. Price would later become one of her closer friends in the community, and even donated $75 to her GoFundMe campaign after her mother passed away.<\/p>\n<p>Still, her opponents often deploy the stereotypes that women are bad at video games and belong in the kitchen. But the trash talk would take an uglier turn if her team came on top, especially when it was an all-female squad.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSomething about losing to a girl \u2013 it messes with their self-esteem,\u201d Elizabeth said. \u201cIt\u2019s like a girl going to the NFL and whoop their a&#8211;.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Both Elizabeth and one of her teammates, Selena \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FPSSelly\" target=\"_blank\">Selly<\/a>\u201d Martinez, say the atmosphere at competition brings immense pressure to perform well.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I first started and only teamed with guys for a while, there are times when our team lost and the scrutiny was placed on me,\u201d Martinez said. \u201cI didn\u2019t even have a bad game, but I would be the scapegoat.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The 22-year old from San Antonio, Texas, looked up to Elizabeth before the two teamed up to win the first season of the Female Pro League. Her defense strategy against harassment? \u201cPutting in the time and getting it,\u201d Martinez said. \u201cIt\u2019s simple but hard work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Playing time is one of the main factors driving e-sports stereotype against women, according to a research by Rabindra Ratan, an assistant professor at Michigan State University\u2019s department of media and information. Women dedicate much less time to playing as practice is vital to gaming skills improvement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you control the amount of time they played, women played just as well as, if not better than, men,\u201d Ratan said, referring to his study surveying approximately 20,000 people. \u201cGender doesn\u2019t matter in video games. It shouldn\u2019t matter for skills.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Elizabeth said some female gamers prioritize looking feminine and gaining Twitter followers over improving their game play. The \u201cCall of Duty\u201d community refers to them as \u201ce-girls.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite having the best placing for a female competitor at a Major League Gaming event, Elizabeth has about 6,900 Twitter followers. Kelly \u201cMrsViolence\u201d Kelley, a female gamer who no longer plays competitively and focuses on building online following, has over 38,600 followers on her verified account.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Chillen playing some gbs <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/xihLlaxRJR\">https:\/\/t.co\/xihLlaxRJR<\/a> RT <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TeamOminousGG\">@TeamOminousGG<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RiotGaming\">@RiotGaming<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/AGvgkcg1NA\">pic.twitter.com\/AGvgkcg1NA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 dreamcrazzy (@DreamCrazzy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DreamCrazzy\/status\/833864255908827136\">February 21, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Live again!
