Market context

TYLOO and Legacy will contest a best-of-three match in Round 5 of the IEM Cologne Major Stage 2 on 9 June at 10:30 AM ET. The prediction market currently implies a 36% probability of TYLOO victory, suggesting Legacy are favoured. This represents a meaningful gap from typical sportsbook pricing on Chinese regional qualifiers, where TYLOO have historically commanded tighter odds despite inconsistent international results. Legacy, an emerging South American roster, have shown competitive depth in recent months but lack the tournament pedigree of established Asian squads. The 64-point probability spread reflects genuine uncertainty rather than consensus dismissal of either side.

TYLOO's recent form has been mixed across LAN events, with roster stability concerns and limited preparation time before majors typically depressing their odds relative to their raw skill ceiling. Legacy's qualification for Stage 2 itself signals competitive credibility, though their limited exposure against tier-one Chinese teams creates information asymmetry in markets. Traders should monitor final roster confirmations and any last-minute schedule adjustments, as IEM events occasionally shift match timings. The settlement window closes at 20:30 UTC on 9 June, allowing roughly ten hours post-match for result confirmation. Sportsbooks covering this fixture have been sparse; most liquidity concentrates on prediction markets, meaning the 36% figure reflects genuine trader positioning rather than sharp-line consensus.

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.
