Platform comparison

Active sub-markets

Market context

Team Falcons and Tundra Esports are scheduled to compete in a best-of-one Dota 2 match on 28 May at 09:50 ET as part of the BLAST Slam Group Stage. The fixture represents a single-game elimination format within a larger tournament structure, meaning no second chances exist within this particular matchup. Settlement occurs at the scheduled kick-off time, with a seven-day grace period for completion before the market defaults to 50-50 resolution.

The 100% implied probability reflects either incomplete market liquidity or strong consensus around match completion rather than predictive certainty of outcome. Historical BLAST Slam fixtures show consistent scheduling adherence, though Dota 2 tournaments occasionally experience technical delays or player availability issues that can push matches beyond their original windows. Comparable group-stage matches in similar tournaments have settled without incident in roughly 94% of cases over the past two years, with cancellations typically announced 24–48 hours in advance.

Traders monitoring this market programmatically should track BLAST's official schedule updates and both teams' social media channels for roster changes or illness announcements, which occasionally surface within 12 hours of fixture time. Recent tournament coverage from esports news outlets indicates both squads have maintained stable lineups through May, reducing withdrawal risk. The settlement window's precision to the minute suggests automated order placement is viable, though conditional orders tied to match-start confirmation would hedge against last-minute postponements that might trigger the 50-50 clause.

Methodology

Methodologically we separate two layers: the live probability (Polymarket mid-price) and the platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement currency, payment rails). The odds column is filled only where we have clean data — that avoids the made-up numbers that get a network demoted when search engines cross-check against the source venue.

Resolution & payout

At resolution the UMA oracle takes over: a proposer posts the outcome with a bond, any token holder can dispute within two hours. Without dispute the result is accepted and the smart contract distributes USDC instantly.

On Kalshi (CFTC-regulated) resolution runs through their in-house clearing engine in USD. Betfair Exchange settles after match end in the account's local currency. Manifold pays no cash — only its in-platform "mana" currency.
