Platform comparison

Active sub-markets

Market context

The underlying event is a Lower Bracket final in the Dota 2 The International Southeast Asia Closed Qualifier Playoffs, where REKONIX faces Grind Back in a Best of 3 series scheduled to begin at 04:00 GMT on 23 June 2026[1][2]. This match determines which team advances further in the regional qualifier path toward The International 2026, with REKONIX currently favoured by 73.1% of Strafe users[2].

Historically, similar lower-bracket finals in TI regional qualifiers have shown strong momentum for teams with prior head-to-head dominance; REKONIX previously defeated Grind Back 2–0 in the Dota 2 Esports World Cup 2026 Closed Qualifier on 3 June 2026[3][4]. That result, combined with REKONIX’s world ranking of 62 and Indonesia-based stability, frames the current 100% YES crowd-implied probability as grounded in tangible performance rather than speculation[3].

Traders should monitor live score feeds for any disconnections or server delays, as TI qualifiers are online-only and sensitive to regional connectivity issues[5][6]. Key catalysts include official PGL announcements regarding match start times and any roster changes, which remain rare but critical in conditional order setups[7]. Programmatic approaches would integrate real-time API data from Hawk Live and Strafe to trigger conditional bets if REKONIX’s win probability dips below 65% pre-match[1][2].

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

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.
