Welcome to the Analytics Research Studio
Every great game begins with data—tactical, precise, and constantly evolving. At LCF Game News, we know that behind every killer strategy, every top-tier loadout, and every sharp play lies a deep layer of analysis. That’s why we built the Analytics Research Studio—a power-packed, interactive tool designed to help competitive players and game theory enthusiasts trace the true arc of performance across esports, rankings, and real-time meta shifts.
Whether you’re climbing the solo queue ladder or managing a full-fledged esports roster, understanding the layers of data flowing through your favorite games is critical. And now, you’ve got a studio that puts this power in your hands—no spreadsheets required.
The Vision Behind It
The concept for the Analytics Research Studio didn’t start with code lines—it started on a forum thread. Kylor Xevandor, our founder, read hundreds of passionate requests from gamers starved for clean, customizable data dashboards that went beyond surface stats. These gamers wanted trend lines, pick rate forecasts, team synergy breakdowns, and strategy maps that could flex with patch notes—not lag behind them.
Kylor, always driven by the pulse of the competitive scene, brought together a crew of coders, data analysts, and esports analysts to make that vision real. What started as a set of spreadsheets in a Plant City garage has grown into a flagship digital laboratory purpose-built for the competitive gaming community.
What the Analytics Research Studio Does Best
Imagine launching into the studio, selecting your favorite title—say Horizon Valorantscape—and watching a vibrant, interactive dashboard unfold. You isolate your last 10 matches. One click later, you’re seeing your win/loss heatmap, average resource spend efficiency, and enemy team composition patterns compared across maps and time of day.
Curious how your pick rate compares with the global top 5%? Or wondering how your main agent’s synergy changes when paired with different teammates? With the Analytics Research Studio, it’s not just possible—it’s visual, actionable, and thrilling.

Real Stories, Real Power Plays
Meet Jordan – The Budding Esports Manager
Jordan manages a Tier 3 Valorantscape team. With the Analytics Research Studio, she uploaded her team’s last five tournament vods and flagged teamfight winrates by role. She discovered their sniper was out of sync in late cortex pushes. Armed with data, they ran team drills focused on alternate flank coverage—and placed 2nd in their next qualifier.
Samir – Solo-Climber with a Plan
Samir is grinding the platinum league in BattleCore Nexus. By analyzing his losses per terrain zone and peak fail rate by time of day, he realized his KD ratio dropped on desert maps at night. Using the studio’s terrain toggle, he created a faster, high-mobility loadout—and now climbs past Diamond III.
Mika – Streamer & Strategy Coach
Mika streams strategy sessions and helps new players find their stride. She uses the Analytics Research Studio live—pulling up regional pick rates and win ranges by player age or playstyle. Viewers eat it up, and Mika’s subs grew by 40% after featuring a weekly “Stat Breakdown Sunday” powered by Studio insights.
