A framework for Notational Analysis in Rocket League Esports : Enhancing Competitive Performance through Data-driven Insights

In the emerging ecosystem of esports, the vehicular football-like video game Rocket League has become one of the major competitors on the market. With a dedicated playerbase of over ninety million people playing each month and over a million USD in prize money, professional teams must constantly find new ways to improve their performance to stay relevant in the competitive scene. While in traditional sports data-driven performance evaluation has become the standard, esports seems to fall behind. By looking at best practices in notational analysis of traditional sports, a framework has been developed and demonstrated to apply notational analysis to the context of Rocket League. This framework aims to provide a foundation to kick-start data-driven performance in competitive Rocket League.
