Strategy Level 4 - Championship-Level Strategy

Learning Objective

Lead championship-level strategic operations with sophisticated multi-alliance coordination, design and validate a real statistical rating or prediction model (in the spirit of Statbotics' own EPA methodology, not academic game theory or machine learning, which have no real analog in a 6-week season), lead team-wide adoption of data-driven strategy tools, create comprehensive strategic development programs for long-term team success, and mentor future strategic leaders. This level represents a proven, multi-season record of strategic excellence, and is expected to take several seasons to accumulate the prerequisites and requirements it involves.
