Lazarus Esports joins forces with SheIS to shine spotlight on women gamers
TORONTO — Lazarus Esports has joined forces with SheIS to shine a spotlight on women’s esports.
For SheIS, a not-for-profit group whose goal is to “leverage the power of women in sports,” it’s a chance to connect with and highlight a growing field of sports. For Canada’s Lazarus, and parent company Tiidal Games, it’s an opportunity to be an industry leader.
Brenda Andress, former commissioner of the recently shuttered Canadian Women’s Hockey League, is the president and founder of SheIS. Andress says the organization, which was announced about a year ago, is already making waves.
“It’s like the Winnie the Pooh and Piglet in a windstorm trying to hold the umbrella down, because it’s taken off so phenomenally,” she said in an interview.
