Predicting E-Sports Winners With Machine Learning

Video game/E-sports streaming is a huge and ever rising market. In the world championship of League of Legends (LoL) last year, one semifinal attracted 106 million viewers, even more than the 2018 Super Bowl. Another successful example is Twitch, where thousands of players broadcast their gameplay to millions of viewers.

Visor, a company that provides personalized game analytics to players, wants a model to estimate the winning rate of a team in real time.
