Project description
The video game industry is larger than the music and film industries combined. Esports (playing video games competitively on a professional level) plays an important role in this industry. As in classic sports, professional esports players must have a good understanding and detailed analysis of their style of play, that of their team and of the league to have a competitive edge. Game metrics are data with granular information about video game activity that can serve as the basis for creating comprehensive visualizations, dashboards and prediction models that can provide more insight into games. The BEAT (Better Esports Analytics for Teams) project explores how game metrics can provide new solutions to support esports teams before, during and after matches.
