EsportsPredictor

EsportsPredictor is an app where you can see information about upcoming professional video game matches, teams, and players. When viewing a match, you can make a prediction on who will win. Your predictions page keeps track of all the predictions you have made and updates to show if you were correct or not after the matches take place.
