The Milk Cup<\/a> has crowned their first champions, and the future of women’s esports is looking brighter than ever. Team Moxie battled it out against 32 opposing teams, securing three Victory Royales out of a possible six. While this is just the beginning of something great for the likes of champions <\/span>Moxie<\/span><\/a>, <\/span>Regsita<\/span><\/a>, and <\/span>Dieyuhs<\/span><\/a>,<\/span> the same is true for the entire competitive pool of The Milk Cup, and women’s esports as a whole. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

It’s something that Caster and Analyst, Taco<\/a>, recognised ahead of The Milk Cup final<\/a>, which took place on October 5. “I think by far my favorite part about it is the way that [The Milk Cup] is essentially highlighting a lot of these women that have been kind of striving for more of that competitive aspect,” Taco said. “It’s giving them such a strong, inclusive area, not only for them to continue building as women in the community, and the Fortnite competitive scene, but it’s also bringing in a lot of outreach from elsewhere. It’s inspiring a lot of the ladies in the scene to continue trying to push, trying to show that ‘Hey, we’re here, we’re capable of competing and playing.’ I just love seeing how competitive everybody has been with all of this.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The Milk Cup was organized by Gonna Need Milk,<\/span> in collaboration and in partnership Fortnite streamer ThePeachCobbler<\/a><\/span>, <\/span>Women of the eRena (WOTE)<\/span>, and produced by RaidiantGG’s<\/a><\/span> all-women production team. The goal was to provide women Fortnite players with the space and accommodations to compete at their very best, in an environment that respected their skills and talent. “I’m <\/span>just really thankful, in general, to Gonna Need Milk and RaidiantGG. Everybody’s involvement has just helped elevate these women to be in the position that I think they’ve always kind of been in, but just never had the spotlight for,” Taco said. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
