twitchMilk’s pledge
Fueling change
Women compose nearly half of the gaming community, yet only comprise 5% of esports players, with no representation in the top 500 highest overall earners.
So we decided to help level the playing field in esports.
Milk is fueling change by creating The Milk Cup in partnership with @ThePeachCobbler, WOTE and Raidiant’s all-women production team. A women-take-all Tournament Series where anyone who identifies as a woman can compete safely and ruthlessly against one another, for their share of the prize pool.

faq
Who’s eligible to compete in The Milk Cup WINTER SPLIT?
You must be a US citizen, green card holder, student or working visa holder, or hold any visa that allows you to receive income in the United States and have a valid Tax ID number. You must be residing in the US at the time of the matches that you are participating in.
You will be required to submit your government identification, complete a W-9 form with all applicable information, or submit your student or working visa in order to receive any prize money, prior to any matches a player competes in.
If you are between the ages of 13 and 17 and meet all other requirements, you are eligible to participate in the event with a parent or guardian waiver.
Do I have to play in the Open Qualifier to play in the Closed Qualifier?
The Milk Cup Winter Split takes place in multiple stages, where the number of Duos is reduced after the conclusion of each stage, until there are 50 duos left standing to compete in the Finals.
If a Duo wants to compete, they must play in the November 12th Open Qualifier. The Open Qualifier allows an opportunity for all eligible women to compete for a chance to advance to the Closed Qualifier.
The Closed Qualifier is the second stage of The Milk Cup Winter Split. The top 50 Duos from the Closed Qualifier will advance to the Online Finals on December 16th. There are no second chances! May the best Duo win!
Are player substitutions allowed?
Substitute players may only be used in Qualifier stage and in cases of emergencies as determined by Event Administrators.
