Any Female Lol Esports Player?
I know Remilia from The Renegades and I hope she does great in the NA LCS in somewhere 6 days left. But I was wondering is there any Lol Esports Female Players?

None thus far, but there's no inherent "Old Boy's Club", really. It really just comes down to what demographic wants to play a video game for a few years as a career. I'm sure there are teams that would love to pick up female players, if only to grow their fan base, but, as we saw from team siren, when they attempted putting together a "Female Super-team", the people willing to play this game as much as pros do are largely male, and only some of THAT group are good enough. The main point I'm trying to make is that it's possible that the future of e sports could include many females, but at the moment, not enough play the game enough. I can't see it ever going past a 70-30 split because of gender roles and societal norms, but there's no reason it has to be entirely male.
Other than Remi no.
It's said that in general, women are smarter than men of the same age.
(Well, according to my wife, anyway.)
Women on average have slower reaction times than men which can make a huge difference in a low ping environment could be one argument against women in esports. Other than that online gaming is still a mostly men-domain, so the chances of a man reaching pro level are simply way higher than a woman reaching pro level.
