Why GAME OF SKILL?

01
Why should I trust this?

Every projection is built by hand by someone who follows pro Counter-Strike. Watches every match. Tracks roster changes, team dynamics, and how specific players perform across different formats and opponents. The analysis is not recycled from box scores. It comes from someone who understands how the game is actually played and won. Every pick is published with the full reasoning, so you can follow the logic, not just the call. Daily fantasy sports earned its own legal category on the basis that skilled preparation beats chance. The name is a nod to that court ruling.

02
What makes it different?

Most CS2 coverage pulls surface stats and works backward from results. This works differently. Projections are built independently, then checked against what the markets are pricing. Kill props and prediction markets are both live every event. Most coverage picks one and ignores the other. Knowing both, and knowing the game, is where the edge comes from. Someone who actually follows the scene catches what no formula does: a team trending down that the market hasn't caught up to yet, or a player who has stepped into a more aggressive role.

03
What's the opportunity?

Polymarket and Kalshi are actively pricing CS2 prediction markets. Every major DFS platform posts kill prop lines each event. The same matches are being priced simultaneously across multiple active markets, and the volume is only growing as CS2 establishes itself as a legitimate esport with real stakes attached to every event. There is no shortage of participation. There is a significant shortage of serious analysis. What does not exist yet is a knowledgeable voice with both the projection system and the scene depth to find consistent edge across different markets.
