Look, college esports is a goldmine if you know what to focus on. Stick to teams with consistent rosters—turnover kills performance. Check their recent VODs on Twitch or YouTube for playstyle trends. Stats matter, but don’t sleep on intangibles like team synergy or clutch factor in high-pressure matches. Bet small on underdogs in BO3 formats; upsets are common when meta shifts hit. Always cross-check patch notes before locking in—game updates can flip the script fast.
