The International e-Sports Federation (IeSF) has changed its rules so that it will no longer hold any male-only events after a chain reaction of negative attention.

The issue was sparked earlier this week when a competitive gaming event in Finland, run by the Finnish e-Sports Federation, was challenged over its decision to have gender-segregated events.

Of particular concern to many was that some events at Assembly Summer 2014, including a tournament of Blizzard's popular free-to-play card game Hearthstone, were only being held for one gender, meaning women were blocked from participating entirely.

When challenged, the FeSF stated that they were not happy with the situation, but they were restricted by the rules put in place by the international body, the IeSF.

The decision was made "in accordance with the International e-Sports Federation's (IeSF) tournament regulations, since the main tournament event is open to male players only", confirmed event adminstrator Markus Koskivirta. "This is to avoid possible conflicts (e.g. a female player eliminating a male player during RO8) among other things."

The problem faced by FeSF was that, since their event was a qualifying round for international competition governed by IeSF, they too had to employ IeSF's gender divisions. If they were to hold a mixed-gender event and a female competitor were to win, then she would not be able to progress to the international level of the league.
