Gabriela Gonçalves Is The First Female To Compete In Brazilian League of Legends
Gabriela "Harumi" Gonçalves has become the first woman to play in a competitive League of Legends competition in Brazil - following her selection for Rensga Esports.
Gonçalves made her debut in the Brazilian Challenger Circuit (BRCC), in a game against Falkol, coming in as a substitute for Zirigui. Her first taste of competitive League of Legends ended in success, with Rensga being victorious over Falkol to remain in second place behind RED Canids.
After joining Rensga Esports on June 3, Gonçalves has continued as a substitute until being given the opportunity in the starting team last night. Harumi plays as the support role, controlling Rakan, and contributed with 10 assists as they cut through Falkol in confident fashion.
