| Preliminary scope of work in English |
| The aim of the work is to analyze data obtained from LoL Worlds 2018 matches and identify the main predictors of victory. And thereafter, to see if one can make a similar approach with regards to real warfare situations. The work goes only up to identifying similarities with land warfare, for purposes of brevity. |
