Platform comparison

Active sub-markets

Market context

Frites Esports Club and BOMBA Team are scheduled to compete in a League of Legends best-of-three match within the EMEA Masters Play-In bracket on 9 June at 2:00PM ET. The Play-In phase serves as qualification for the main EMEA Masters tournament, making this fixture a high-stakes elimination encounter. Both teams will field five players across three potential games, with the first to win two maps advancing.

The 0% implied probability reflects either minimal trading activity or genuine uncertainty about team composition and recent form. EMEA Masters rosters frequently experience mid-season adjustments, and historical Play-In matches show volatile outcomes when teams lack established synergy. Comparable fixtures from prior EMEA Masters cycles demonstrate that underdog performances occur at roughly 30–40% frequency when roster changes precede qualification rounds, suggesting the current probability may not fully account for information asymmetries around team preparation or player availability.

Traders monitoring this market should track official EMEA Masters announcements regarding roster locks, scheduled for typically 48 hours before play-in commencement. Conditional order logic would benefit from flagging any postponement notices—the settlement terms specify a 50-50 resolution if the match delays beyond seven days without completion. Real-time fixture confirmations appear on the official League of Legends esports website and regional broadcast schedules. Player injury disclosures or last-minute substitutions, often posted on team social channels within 24 hours of match time, represent the primary catalyst for repricing this market.

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

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.
