From Button Masher to Flame Emperor: My Data-Driven Dragon Tiger Ascension

As someone who analyzes League of Legends frame data for fun, I initially scoffed at Dragon Tiger’s simplicity. But when my Twitch chat dared me to try it “for science,” I discovered surprising depth beneath those golden fireworks. Here’s how I applied esports analytics principles to conquer this deceptively simple game.

1. The 48.6% Revelation: Why Data Beats Gut Feeling
