Tilde Byström, nicknamed 7licious, is a professional CS2 player from Sweden. After 10 years of competing, she shocked everyone when she posted a photo of herself making sandwiches for a living.
The photo went viral, garnering more than 300,000 likes and 18 million views. Despite her experience in competition and commentary, Tilde still cannot make a living as a female gamer.
ESL Impact, the largest female CS2 tournament, has been put on hold due to an unsustainable economic model. Previously, Tilde played for Evil Geniuses Gold and Ghost Gaming but the salary was very low. She still hopes that one day CS2 women will be strong enough to have a common playground with men.
Tilde's story reflects the precariousness of female esports and the admirable spirit of perseverance. Dear readers, please watch more videos : When livestream becomes an economic sector: After the boom, it must be tightened | VTV24
