VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 9, 2021 / YDX Innovation Corp (TSXV:YDX)(OTC PINK:YDRMF)(FSE:APY1) ("YDX" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has joined forces with Amuka Esports (www.amukaesports.com) and Wisdom Gaming (www.wisdom.gg) to create the esports series " Women in Leadership" ("WIL"). The companies have partnered with Women Win (www.womenwin.org), an international organization that started in 2006 as a global women's fund dedicated to advancing girls' and women's rights through sports.

The first two invitational tournaments will take place within the next 30 days, both featuring games by RIOT Games (www.riotgames.com/ ), one of the main game publishers in the world.

On March 27th, the Teamfight Tactics (" TFT" ) tournament will bring eight upcoming female gamers, and on April 2nd and 3rd, an invitational Valorant tournament will bring eight teams, all led by female team captains but with mixed-gender rosters. The team behind the scenes is also led by an experienced team of talented women.

The series will include discussion panels with high profile women part of the esports and gaming industry and content creation about gender equality and how to ensure the esports industry develops as a safer, more inclusive, and diverse environment.

"We are honored to be part of such an important initiative. Women Win is an incredible organization, and we are thrilled to be working with Amuka Esports and Wisdom on this series. Events like this are crucial to help us build a brand that stands for positive change in the industries that we are part of. Women play more games than men worldwide and yet the esports industry is still dominated by male pro players, mostly because of prejudice and toxic behavior creating a barrier against female players and diversity in general. We want to show that it's fundamental for the industry to open more doors and bring gender balance to esports. A special shoutout to the incredible team of women leading this amazing project, this will be a tremendous success because of all of you" - stated Daniel Japiassu, CEO of YDX Innovation.

The Companies have secured funds for the execution of the event but are looking for more sponsors and brands interested in supporting the fundraising campaign. If you or your company are interested, please reach out to [email protected].
