clarity VS dpc-fantasy

General * All data has been acquired from OpenDota, Stratz, and parsing replays using SkadiStats Clarity 2 * The numbers calculated here are based on each player's last 50 pro matches, exponentially weighted to give much more importance to recent performances * I have used 10 Cores, 5 Mids, and 10 Supports as the cut-off for what constitutes a top scoring player * I kept in the statistics for all players in addition to just the top players for your reference

Then you can create features yourself using various api (like opendota) or look for parsing github (i never used parsing tool myself, but i saved the link to this one : https://github.com/skadistats/clarity , no idea how good it is). Since smurf / cheaters are supposed to be a small fraction of all player, you'll end up with unbalanced dataset, so you'll prolly have to do semi supervised machine learning or at the very least supervised with weight.

So I actually use a couple different APIs. The reason for this is that I couldn't find a fantasy-related endpoint for the offical Dota API, and the match endpoint doesn't have all the data required for calculating fantasy points. To actually get all the required data, the replay needs to be downloaded and parsed (using tools like Clarity or Butterfly). OpenDota does this, and exposes all the relevant data in their match API endpoint.

The replays you download are that "raw data". You can parse it with something like Clarity.

Unfortunately, I will not be updating my DPC Fantasy Tracker — there are so many changes to how the fantasy scoring system works that it fundamentally alters how the data should be displayed, and I simply do not have the time to update it right now.

There's no easy way, aside from looking at the points scored for each match for each indicator and adding them up. But you can get a rough estimate by going to DPC Fantasy Tracker > Select League > Average Results and looking at the average points scored for your bonuses.

If you need to lock in before the reddit post you can use Hawkie's excellent website to get the same info: https://virendias.github.io/dpc-fantasy/

I have made a DPC Fantasy Tracker to help you evaluate your results.

DPC Fantasy Tracker made by OP (and that is mentioned as their very first reference :c)

It looks like I'll be able to make these for TI too. Thanks to the Liquipedia page, Hawkie's tracker, and his Reddit post without which this guide would not be possible.

I use to go on virendias or fantasy.prizetrac.kr to track average fantasy point per player, but both seems to have nothing yet to help predictions.

2 resources I used for this are Liquipedia's page on the major for cross-checking the schedules and this tool by u/Hawkie74 for checking scores of the regionals(for initial days) as well as the scores during the major itself, his tool tracks all the important data and without it as such this would not be possible. Be sure to check out his guides as well if he makes them, before you decide on your final choices. If you don't want to read the reasoning behind which teams/players to play, skip to the recommended players section below. Now onto the guide.
