PandaScore, the award-winning provider of esports data, odds and betting products, has rolled out an exciting player performance and skill rating system for League of Legends.

PandaSkill has been developed by PandaScore’s data science team and aims to uplift performance analysis and product performance.

It is a machine learning model that measures individual player skill in a way that more accurately compares every player, accounting for their respective roles and, crucially, measures the skill of players relative to the strength of every player across the world.

Each in-game role is modelled independently, ensuring a fair comparison between them. Then, using these performance scores, PandaSkill updates the player skill ratings using the Bayesian framework OpenSkill in a free-for-all setting

In this setting, skill ratings are updated solely based on performance scores rather than game outcomes, highlighting individual contributions.

PandaSkill has been developed as an open-source resource that can be used for the betterment of the wider industry.

It can be deployed across websites, apps or within the context of an esports publication and can be used by fans and bettors to compare players, teams and performances over time to guide their wagers, adding more interest and value to the community.

As well as adding value to PandaScore’s operators and their players, the provider is also using it to improve its offering.

PandaSkill is supporting the provider’s core esports betting services, especially its popular Player Props and BetBuilder as it helps to increase the accuracy of its odds by bringing them closer to true probability, as well as informing its traders as to how the probabilities are being created.

Oliver NinerHead of B2B at PandaScore, said: “The idea for PandaSkill was borne out of a culture of understanding games at an intrinsic, data-driven level, what drives wins and what constitutes good or bad performance. 

“Esports fans a bettors share a similar interest in data-driven performance, whether that be their personal ratings and rankings in the games they play or the latest stats for the best pro players in the world. 

“PandaSkill takes this to the next level, helping inform public discussion, culture building and broadcast commentary, as well as helping players make smarter bets while also allowing us to improve the products and services we offer to operators. 

“This makes PandaSkill an important product in our suite. It also stands as a testament to our commitment to be at the cutting edge of esports and esports betting.”

On July 2-3, Boomerang Partners, a global marketing agency, participated in iGB L!VE London. One of the event’s highlights was the celebration of the first anniversary of the strategic partnership between Boomerang and AC Milan, one of the world’s premier football clubs. Boomerang is its Official Regional Partner.

Anton Eshtokin, Chief Marketing Officer at Boomerang Partners, commented: “We are very pleased with Boomerang Partners’ participation in iGB L!VE London. It is symbolic that, a year ago at iGB, we announced our strategic partnership with AC Milan. We celebrated the first anniversary of this epic collaboration in a great atmosphere, featuring match ticket raffles. We were delighted to welcome hundreds of guests to our booth, highlighting once again the prestige of our partnership with AC Milan in the industry. We have many more joint projects ahead of us, and we are sure that we will be able to surprise everyone.”

The celebration of the strategic partnership with AC Milan was one of the main (but not the only) reasons why the Boomerang Partners booth was a hotspot for visitors to the exhibition. More than 1,000 people visited it during the two-day event. Over 900 guests took part in the Penalty Challenge. The challenge featured two raffles — the first held offline at the Boomerang Partners booth on July 2, and the winner received premium tickets to one of the most famous football matches in the world between AC Milan and Inter FC. The second draw took place online on July 3 on Boomerang’s Instagram page. The winner will receive tickets to an AC Milan match in the Italian Serie A or the Coppa Italia.

The winner of the offline drawing on July 2 was Saad Shaikh, a data engineer at Betzoo Media. He shared his emotions: “This is my first time in iGB. My experience was truly great, and thank you again for giving me the opportunity to have a good time and enjoy the experience I’ll have in Milan. I haven’t been to Milan before. Back in my old days, my family went. Yeah, so this is my second chance. And thank you, Boomerang, for giving me this opportunity.”
