Platform comparison

Active sub-markets

Market context

JD Gaming and Bilibili Gaming will contest a lower bracket quarterfinal in the 2026 League of Legends Pro League playoffs on 6 June, with the match scheduled for 5:00 AM ET. The best-of-five format means the first team to three map victories advances; the loser is eliminated from the tournament. The 0% implied probability on this contract reflects either extreme confidence in one team's superiority or sparse trading volume at the settlement window's approach.

Historical precedent suggests lower bracket matches in the LPL carry meaningful upset potential. Bilibili Gaming has demonstrated resilience in elimination scenarios during previous seasons, whilst JD Gaming's regular-season performance does not always translate consistently to playoff execution. Teams entering lower bracket play often face psychological disadvantage, though the format's extended nature (best-of-five) reduces variance compared to shorter series. Recent LPL lower bracket results show competitive matches rather than dominant sweeps, indicating the 0% probability may not reflect underlying match dynamics.

Traders should monitor roster confirmations and any last-minute substitutions announced before the 6 June fixture, as the LPL occasionally adjusts lineups for playoff matches. Scrim results and public practice footage in the days preceding the match provide indirect signals about team preparation. The settlement window closes at 15:00 UTC on 6 June, creating a tight window for resolution; any technical delays or match postponement beyond 7 days would trigger a 50-50 split. Cross-platform comparison with Asian sportsbooks may reveal divergence from the current zero probability, as regional betting markets typically offer more granular odds on LPL fixtures.

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.
