--- name: polymarket-esports-trader description: Trades esports tournament, game release, and streaming milestone prediction markets on Polymarket. Exploits three stacked edges — game data richness (HLTV Elo, Oracle's Elixir), series format variance reduction (Bo5 vs Bo1), and Asian session timing lag for Korean/Chinese team matches. metadata: author: snetripp version: "1.0" displayName: Esports & Gaming Trader difficulty: intermediate --- # Esports & Gaming Trader > **This is a template.** > The default signal is keyword-based market discovery combined with conviction-based sizing and `esports_bias()` — three stacked structural edges, no external API required. > The skill handles all the plumbing (market discovery, trade execution, safeguards). Your agent provides the alpha. ## Strategy Overview Esports markets are mispriced in two directions simultaneously. Data-rich titles (CS2, LoL, Dota 2) have published Elo models, map win rates, and patch-level performance metrics that retail ignores entirely. At the same time, fan-favourite teams (T1/Faker) are systematically overcrowded by fanbases trading loyalty rather than skill assessment. Three structural edges compound cleanly without any API. ## Signal Logic ### Default Signal: Conviction-Based Sizing with Esports Bias 1. Discover active esports and gaming markets on Polymarket 2. Compute base conviction from distance to threshold (0% at boundary → 100% at p=0/p=1) 3. Apply `esports_bias()` — three layers: game data quality × series format × Asian session timing 4. Size = `max(MIN_TRADE, conviction × bias × MAX_POSITION)` — capped at MAX_POSITION 5. Skip markets with spread > MAX_SPREAD or fewer than MIN_DAYS to resolution ### Esports Bias (built-in, no API required) **Layer 1 — Game / Market Type** | Game / market type | Multiplier | Key data source retail ignores | |---|---|---| | T1 / Faker markets | **0.75x** | Fandom overcrowds YES by 10–20% vs Elo model — documented 2023–2025 | | CS2 / Counter-Strike | **1.20x** | HLTV.org Elo ratings, map win rates, head-to-head history | | League of Legends (non-T1) | **1.15x** | Oracle's Elixir patch-level stats — meta shifts change team win rates ±15% | | Dota 2 / The International | **1.15x** | OpenDota comprehensive match stats — consistency rewarded in long series | | Valorant / VCT | **1.10x** | VLR.gg agent win rates, map pools — growing and increasingly accurate | | Mobile esports (HoK, PUBG Mobile, MLBB) | **1.15x** | Deep Asian stats with Western info lag | | Game release date milestone | **1.10x** | Publisher delay history documented — ~70% re-delay rate for prior delayers | | Twitch / streaming peak viewership | **1.10x** | TwitchTracker daily historical peaks — viewership growth curves trackable | | Steam concurrent player milestone | **1.10x** | SteamCharts real-time — launch peaks predictable from pre-order velocity | **The T1 / Faker Rule** — The most precisely documented single-team overcrowding in all of esports. Faker's global fandom spans every region, every language, every platform. The result is systematic YES overpricing on T1 outcomes by 10–20% relative to what HLTV/Oracle's Elixir Elo models imply. T1 are genuinely elite — but the *market price* of T1 wins is almost always too high because the fan base is the dominant pricing force, not analysts. This is not a bet against T1 — it is a sizing discipline: trade T1 markets very conservatively. **Layer 2 — Series Format: Variance Reduction by Match Length** This is the cleanest mechanic in the entire trader — no data needed, just understanding how best-of series work: | Format | Multiplier | Statistical reality | |---|---|---| | Bo5 / Grand Final / Championship | **1.20x** | Stronger team wins ~72–78% — retail says "anything can happen" which is statistically false | | Bo3 / Playoff / Semifinal / Elimination | **1.10x** | Stronger team wins ~65–70% — meaningful variance reduction | | Bo1 / Group Stage / Swiss / Round Robin | **0.90x** | ~40% upset rate — genuine uncertainty, reduce conviction | The Grand Final insight: retail treats championship matches as the most uncertain because "the stakes are highest." The opposite is true statistically. Teams playing Bo5 Grand Finals have survived multiple elimination rounds — they are the two best teams in the tournament, playing the format that most reliably selects the winner. This is maximum-edge territory, not minimum. **Layer 3 — Asian Session Timing** LoL LCK/LPL, mobile esports, and Dota 2 SEA feature Korean, Chinese, and Southeast Asian teams competing at 01:00–09:00 UTC. Polymarket is US-dominated — match results in these regions take 30–90 minutes to fully reprice when US retail is asleep. | Condition | Multiplier | |---|---| | Asian-dominant game + 01:00–09:00 UTC | **1.15x** — lag window open | | All other times | **1.00x** | ### Combined Examples | Market | Type | Format | Timing | Final bias | |---|---|---|---|---| | CS2 Bo5 Grand Final | 1.20x | 1.20x | 1.0x | **1.35x cap** | | T1 Bo3 match | 0.75x | 1.10x | 1.0x | **0.83x** | | LoL LCK Bo5 at 04:00 UTC | 1.15x | 1.20x | 1.15x | **1.35x cap** | | Dota 2 Bo1 group stage | 1.15x | 0.90x | 1.0x | **1.04x** | | Any Bo1 group match | type_mult | **0.90x** | 1.0x | Edge compressed | ### Keywords Monitored ``` esports, League of Legends, CS2, Counter-Strike, Dota 2, Valorant, Fortnite, World Championship, tournament, Steam, Twitch, game release, PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, gaming revenue, Riot Games, Blizzard, grand final, bracket, LCK, LPL, LEC, BLAST, ESL, VCT, The International, HLTV, peak viewers, concurrent players, T1, Faker, NaVi, Vitality, patch ``` ### Remix Signal Ideas - **HLTV.org Elo ratings**: Compare published Elo-implied win probability to Polymarket price for CS2 matchup markets — the gap is consistently 8–15% for non-marquee matches - **Oracle's Elixir**: LoL team stats by patch — when a meta patch hits 2 days before a tournament, markets haven't adjusted; the data has - **Liquipedia API**: Real-time bracket data, match results, team stats for 30+ esports titles — feed bracket position into p to trade next-round markets - **TwitchTracker**: Daily peak viewer history for "will X reach Y viewers" markets — compare trajectory to market price ## Safety & Execution Mode **The skill defaults to paper trading (`venue="sim"`). Real trades only with `--live` flag.** | Scenario | Mode | Financial risk | |---|---|---| | `python trader.py` | Paper (sim) | None | | Cron / automaton | Paper (sim) | None | | `python trader.py --live` | Live (polymarket) | Real USDC | `autostart: false` and `cron: null` — nothing runs automatically until you configure it in Simmer UI. ## Required Credentials | Variable | Required | Notes | |---|---|---| | `SIMMER_API_KEY` | Yes | Trading authority. Treat as high-value credential. | ## Tunables (Risk Parameters) All declared as `tunables` in `clawhub.json` and adjustable from the Simmer UI. | Variable | Default | Purpose | |---|---|---| | `SIMMER_MAX_POSITION` | `20` | Max USDC per trade — reflects esports market liquidity | | `SIMMER_MIN_VOLUME` | `3000` | Min market volume filter (USD) | | `SIMMER_MAX_SPREAD` | `0.10` | Max bid-ask spread (10%) | | `SIMMER_MIN_DAYS` | `2` | Min days until resolution — tournaments move fast | | `SIMMER_MAX_POSITIONS` | `10` | Max concurrent open positions | | `SIMMER_YES_THRESHOLD` | `0.38` | Buy YES if market price ≤ this value | | `SIMMER_NO_THRESHOLD` | `0.62` | Sell NO if market price ≥ this value | | `SIMMER_MIN_TRADE` | `5` | Floor for any trade (min USDC regardless of conviction) | ## Dependency `simmer-sdk` by Simmer Markets (SpartanLabsXyz) - PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/simmer-sdk/ - GitHub: https://github.com/SpartanLabsXyz/simmer-sdk

def esports_bias(question: str) -> float:
    """
    Returns a conviction multiplier (0.70–1.35) combining three structural edges
    unique to esports and gaming markets:

    1. GAME / MARKET TYPE — DATA RICHNESS AND FAN LOYALTY CORRECTION
       Esports markets are mispriced in two opposite directions simultaneously.
       Data-rich titles (CS2, LoL, Dota 2) with published Elo models are
       dramatically underpinned by retail who ignores them. At the same time,
       fan-favourite teams (T1/Faker) are systematically overcrowded by fanbases
       trading loyalty, not skill assessment. Both are exploitable.

       T1 / Faker markets                                    → 0.75x
         The most overcrowded single-team bias in all of esports. Faker's
         global fandom across all regions bids T1 up 10–20% above Elo-model
         implied win probability in every bracket. Documented in prediction
         market research 2023–2025. This is not about T1 being bad — they
         are elite — it's about the market overpricing them specifically.

       CS2 / Counter-Strike tournament match                → 1.20x
         HLTV.org publishes Elo ratings, map win rates by team, head-to-head
         history, and form streaks. CS2 is the most quantified esport. The
         Elo-to-Polymarket price gap is consistently 8–15% for non-marquee
         matchups that retail hasn't studied.

       League of Legends (non-T1) / LCK / LPL / LEC        → 1.15x
         Oracle's Elixir tracks champion win rates, team stats per patch,
         objective control, and game pace. Patch-level team performance is
         the key signal: a team's win rate can shift 15% after a meta patch
         that nerfs their champion pool. Retail prices reputation; data
         reflects current patch reality.

       Dota 2 / The International / DPC                     → 1.15x
         OpenDota publishes comprehensive match statistics. The International
         bracket is structured (Bo3/Bo5 elimination) — data-driven teams
         outperform expectations because retail values flashy play over
         statistical consistency.

       Valorant / VCT / Masters                             → 1.10x
         VLR.gg growing database of agent win rates, map pools, clutch rates.
         Newer ecosystem but increasingly quantified; retail lags the data.

       Mobile esports (Honor of Kings, PUBG Mobile, MLBB)  → 1.15x
         Dominant Asian player pools with deep local statistics that Western
         Polymarket participants don't access. Korean/Chinese mobile esports
         results hit Polymarket with 1–3h lag during Asian hours.

       Game release date milestone                          → 1.10x
         Publisher delay history is documented and trackable. Developers who
         have delayed previous titles 1–2 times have ~70% probability of
         delaying again. Retail prices release dates optimistically.

       Twitch / streaming peak viewership milestone         → 1.10x
         TwitchTracker publishes daily peak concurrent viewer history. "Will
         X reach Y peak viewers" markets can be calibrated against published
         viewership growth curves. Retail doesn't check TwitchTracker.

       Steam concurrent player milestone                    → 1.10x
         SteamCharts publishes real-time and historical player counts. Game
         launch peaks are predictable from pre-order velocity and publisher
         history. Retail prices hype; data reflects trajectory.

    2. SERIES FORMAT — VARIANCE REDUCTION BY MATCH LENGTH
       Esports bracket markets are priced as if all formats are equal. They
       aren't. A Bo5 Grand Final is dramatically more skill-dominant than a
       Bo1 group stage match. This is the most mechanically reliable edge in
       tournament markets — it requires no external API.

       Bo5 / Grand Final / Championship Match               → 1.20x
         Best-of-5: the statistically stronger team wins ~72–78% of matches.
         Retail treats finals as coin flips because "anything can happen" —
         this is emotionally true but statistically false. The better team's
         edge is near-maximum in Bo5.

       Bo3 / Playoff / Semifinal / Elimination Match        → 1.10x
         Best-of-3: meaningful variance reduction vs Bo1. The stronger team
         wins ~65–70% of matches. Retail still underestimates the gap.

       Bo1 / Group Stage / Swiss Stage / Round Robin        → 0.90x
         Best-of-1: highest upset rate. A 60% win-rate team loses ~40% of
         individual games. Group stage markets have genuine uncertainty —
         reduce conviction significantly.

    3. ASIAN SESSION TIMING FOR KOREAN / CHINESE TEAM MATCHES
       LoL LCK and LPL, Dota 2 SEA, and mobile esports feature Asian teams
       competing during Asian business hours (01:00–09:00 UTC). Polymarket
       is US-dominated — Korean and Chinese match results take 30–90 minutes
       to fully reprice when US retail is asleep or just waking.

       Asian-dominant game + 01:00–09:00 UTC               → 1.15x
       Other time windows                                   → 1.00x

    Combined and capped at 1.35x.
    CS2 Bo5 Grand Final: 1.20 × 1.20 = 1.35x cap.
    T1 Bo3 match: 0.75 × 1.10 = 0.83x — correctly skeptical of fan overcrowding.
    LoL LCK in Asian hours Bo5: 1.15 × 1.20 × 1.15 = 1.35x cap.
    Bo1 group stage (any game): type_mult × 0.90 — edge compressed.

    session timing adjustment:
    - Base conviction scales linearly with distance from threshold
    - esports_bias() stacks three layers: game-type data richness (CS2 1.20x,
      T1/Faker fan overcrowding 0.75x), series format variance reduction (Bo5
