Bootcamp & Scrim-Result Intelligence

Teams practise against each other in private scrims before every major event, and those results leak constantly — through player streams left running, coach and analyst chatter, and community trackers that log them. Scrim form is a genuinely predictive read on who has solved the current patch, and it is invisible to anyone pricing off public match history. You collect the leaks, weight them by source, and trade tournament markets before the first official game.

What you need to run it

  • Monitoring of player streams, community scrim trackers and staff social accounts
  • Source scoring, since scrim results are noisy and teams deliberately experiment
  • Fast decay on the signal, because scrim form goes stale within a patch cycle

Where this applies

Markets on Polymarket where bootcamp & scrim-result intelligence is the natural play:

  • Will G2 reach the playoffs at the next Major?
  • Will Team Spirit win their opening series?
  • Will the tournament favorite be eliminated in groups?
