Platform comparison

Active sub-markets

Market context

A Counter-Strike 2 match between ex-Sashi Academy and eternal premium, scheduled for the European Pro League Series 8 Closed Qualifier Group B, was initially set for 6:30 AM ET on 25 June but has now shifted to a live start at 13:35 UTC on 26 June in Gruppo B[2][3]. The market currently implies a 0% probability that ex-Sashi Academy will win, suggesting the crowd views the team as virtually certain to lose or the event as highly compromised, despite the match being active on live score trackers.

Historically, near-zero probabilities in esports qualifiers often precede either a team’s complete collapse or a cancellation that resolves the market to a 50-50 tie, as seen in prior European Pro League qualifiers where one side failed to field a roster[1]. In comparable CS2 cases, such extreme crowd-implied odds have resolved to the opposing team winning only when the underdog suffered a technical disqualification or a player absence, rather than a competitive loss.

Traders should monitor real-time roster announcements, server stability reports, and any official delay notices from the European Pro League organisers, as these dependencies directly determine whether the match proceeds or resolves to the tie condition[3]. A recent update from GosuGamers confirms the match is live with score statistics available, indicating the event is proceeding but remains vulnerable to in-game disruptions that could alter the outcome[3]. Programmatic approaches to this market would require conditional orders triggered by live score updates or disqualification flags, ensuring exposure is managed before the settlement window closes at 19:35 UTC on 26 June.

Methodology

This page is a comparison snapshot: one live quote (Polymarket), four reference venues with their key attributes, and a single execution path — every trade button routes to Polymarket Bot UK, which mirrors the Polymarket order book directly.

Resolution & payout

Settlement runs on-chain. Polymarket's contract logic separates YES and NO shares as conditional tokens; at resolution the winning share lifts to $1.00 and the losing one to $0. The outcome input comes from the UMA Optimistic Oracle, which secures against bad resolution with a bond + dispute window.

Once finalised, the smart contract pays USDC to the holders' wallets within minutes — no withdrawal fees beyond Polygon network gas. Kalshi settles in USD via CFTC clearance, Betfair in account currency net of commission, Manifold in play-money mana with no cash-out.
