A Comparative Analysis of the Social Media Activities of the Top Male and Female Esports Players
Male esports players dominate tournament earnings, while top female players often outperform their male counterparts on social media, according to a comparative analysis of the Twitter (X) activity of the top 40 male and top 41 female tournament-earning players, drawn from a 2022 study.
- Male players earned roughly $146 million in total tournament winnings versus about $2.7 million for the top female players, and men held 499 of the top 500 Esports Earnings positions, a gap driven largely by Dota 2's high prize pools.
- The authors attribute the earnings disparity mainly to female players' limited participation in high-paying tournaments rather than to any shortfall in engagement.
- On Twitter (X), top male players averaged about 6.77 million followers versus roughly 0.61 million for top female players, showing a much larger male following.
