## History

The "Femme Fatale" Tournament Organization started as an idea of promoting the gaming field, especially Vainglory, for female players . The idea grew among the female community since 2015, everybody asking and wishing for a "just for fun girls only tournament". After a short time, around October 2015, the so beloved idea started to materialize. A group of dedicated people from around the world decided to grab the idea, work together and make it happen. They have seen it as an amazing way for female players to meet, play together and finally, form and strengthen a community. Thankfully, the amazing support came right away from our sponsours, such as Mobcrush and Gankstars, SEMC team and the gaming community.
