How does SenpAI calculate win probabilities?
Our win probabilities are calculated by using machine learning techniques on competitive League of Legends leading up to Worlds 2020.
Prior to a match-up, for both teams, first, their performances in the last 5 games are extracted.
These performance measures consist of various features such as their mean gold difference relating to the opponent for the games in the series, binary values whether the team got first blood/turrets in each of the games, how many times Baron Nashor has been slain, team region, vision score versus opponent, mean gold difference and many more.
These measurements are normalized according to the game duration and patch version so the features of a matchup can be compared with another in a meaningful way. Using 5-fold cross-validation, our out-of-fold accuracy is at 0.641. So in general we expect 6 out of 10 predictions to be the correct outcome.
Keep in mind that before any League of Legends game starts we can only make predictions according to a team’s performance on the previous match and these predictions lack the information of champion picks, bans, or lane match-ups therefore it uses the knowledge of how a team performed against their past opponents.
Additionally, our models are trained in order to be robust and make generalized performance, so that it’s performance is meaningful in a vast number of match-ups rather than a few outcomes. We hope to move from the random choice probability of 0.5 towards our validation accuracy of 0.641 as more games are completed for the upcoming Worlds 2020!

Positioning errors
In the 35th minute, LGD, who had a 6K gold advantage, started the baron. In the team fight that took place here, LGD massacred their opponent to get to the finish line first.
It was not a very clean game for LGD. There were some seriously wrong positionings and we saw Kramer having a hard time with LeBlanc. Yet LGD played out in the laning phase very well, and they used every opportunity TSM gave them.
We can say that the World Championship could possibly end for TSM if a miracle of getting 3 wins out of 3 matches does not happen in the games that they will play in Round 2.
