YouPorn’s eSports organisation, Team YP, will now feature an all-female League of Legends eSports team.
“Team YP is very excited to announce its next adventure; we’ve entered the League of Legends scene!”
The newest members of Team YP previously belonged to various notable organizations, including: gBots Club, LDLC, Team Acer and Xenodragons.
They’ve proved their ability to deliver consistent results during LoL EU West 5on5 Ladies <3 LoL cups, placing first on multiple occasions and improving over time. The Team YP League of Legends roster consists of:
- TOP: Joanna “Myshka” Pigla, from Poland
- MID: Tanja “Escape” Reither, from Austria
- ADC: Laura “Aryenzz” Muñoz, from Spain
- SUPPORT: Marlies “Maestra” Brunnhofer, from Austria
- JUNGLE: Patrycja “Reniferka” Krumin, from Poland
Team YP were recently banned by the ESL due to the adult content of the site.
The move may also have ulterior motivations as Team YP were quick to point out that this acquisition was a bid for gender equality:
“The uphill battle that women face in the industry is still a reality: being a woman in this cutthroat business means you need incredibly thick skin and strength of character on top of admirable skill and talent.
Furthermore, professional female teams are still offered less time under the spotlight.
Team YP believes in equal opportunity for all, which is why our organization is ecstatic to support the female LoL scene by forming its own roster, consisting of some top female talents active on the EU West & EU Nordic and East servers.”

It should be skill based,
