Five women who play China’s most popular game Honour Of Kings are forming an eSports team to join the game’s professional league – and they say they are better gamers than their male counterparts.

According to the King Pro League (KPL), the gamers are forming the league’s first all-female club, called Fire Leopard, and will compete against all-male teams at the King G-League, KPL’s development league, next year.
