"Raidiant comes from the combination of 'radiant' and 'raid,'" said Heather "sapphiRe" Garozzo, VP of Community & Events, NME. "Radiants bring light, which is what the site is doing for women gamers who are not regularly covered by the media. We were also inspired by live stream raids where raids are meant to champion others by raising their profiles and expanding reach. Our goal is that Raidiant melds these meanings together and ultimately, we build a stronger community, together."

The platform features catalogs of women's tournaments, educational resources and tips from partners, digital content, esports team and influencer directories and more. This team-agnostic platform will be a destination for women to accelerate their gaming career development. With original content, live streams and events, esports veterans and professionals will provide instructional resources across the broad spectrum of gaming.

COMMUNITY
The platform will feature a comprehensive directory of women's esports teams/players, clubs, content creators, streamers, and more. Individuals and organizations will create Raidiant "Profiles" to enable opportunities to engage, connect, and network.

"Twitter's the home for all gaming conversations, and it's our goal to help novice and professional gamers grow their brands and connect with an audience in healthy and impactful ways. This partnership solidifies our desire to not just show up, but to make a lasting commitment and difference in the growth of this very important audience."
