Data can drive the growth of esports betting<\/a> in several ways. It can fuel new product verticals, power AI tools and increase engagement. With 11+ years of experience in esports, Abios CEO Oskar Fr\u00f6berg and CTO Anton Jan\u00e9r decided to share their insights into the relationship between esports, traditional sports, and data gathering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collecting esports data <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The means of gathering data in traditional physical sports such as soccer, ice hockey and tennis have been manual scouting and more recently computer vision. We use these methods in esports as well, but what sets esports apart is that data can be collected directly from the server. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serverdata enables tracking of every action as it happens on a millisecond level, frame by frame. It doesn\u2019t necessarily make data gathering easier, as it comes with a whole new set of challenges, but provides far more accurate information compared to manual scouting or computer vision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the main advantages of data in esports, is that the baseline for the amount of data available for collection is on a different level to traditional sports. In esports, all the games are inherently built on data since all player, match and team events are data points by default. Therefore, there is more data available than in traditional sports, regardless of the method used for collection. This sets up the esports media- and betting industries for some unique possibilities. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
