  • Mentor junior traders and contribute to trading best practices

    Conduct post-match reviews to refine predictive models and future forecasts

  • Offering insights on FPS titles based on deep knowledge and interest in specific areas

  • Support continuous improvement in trading processes, tools, and automation
