The esports ecosystem has always been fast paced and in the past few seasons its volatility has also increased accordingly and significantly. Seasoned analysts, fans and bettors have noted how difficult the prediction of match outcomes is becoming, even in matches where there are clear favourites vs lower tier teams. Dominance amongst teams is rarely sustained for long due to the frequent roster shuffles, evolving strategies and team priorities and of course rapid balance patches. Esports are constantly evolving and reinventing themselves which is a firm contrast in comparison to traditional sports where their systems tend to stabilize as the years pass.
