I came into esports from the inside, as a player who spent her teenage years grinding ranked ladders in Lyon before realising I read the competitive scene better than I actually played it. Following the top circuits around the biggest titles became a daily habit, and turning that into structured analysis felt like the natural next step. It's a space that moves faster than any traditional sport — a single patch, a roster swap or a meta shift can rewrite a team's ceiling overnight. My predictions track current form, map and stage pools, roster stability, and how quickly a side adapts to the newest meta rather than how good they were a season ago. In a scene this volatile, recent results and roster context outweigh a famous name almost every time, and map betting in particular rewards anyone willing to do the unglamorous detail work. Five years of covering this has taught me how dangerous it is to trust a big org on autopilot. Lineups fracture, motivation dips between events, and online form can diverge wildly from what shows up on LAN. I keep my reasoning transparent so readers can hold it up against what they're watching themselves. — Camille Lefèvre
