Title: eSports Analytics and an Introduction to the SCORE Network
Abstract: There are many similarities between analyzing player performance in a team eSports game like Defense of the Ancients 2 or League of Legends and in a traditional sport like basketball or hockey. Each team has five players who work together toward a common goal, while accumulating individual and team statistics that can be used to evaluate and analyze in-game performance. Unlike sports with primarily isolated one-on-one matchups and discretizable events, these games are free-flowing, with many-on-many matchups. As a result, determining a player’s individual contribution to their team’s success is challenging.
