Active sub-markets

Market context

Kiwoom DRX and Gen.G are scheduled to contest a best-of-three League of Legends match in South Korea's LCK league on 8 May 2026 at 6:00 AM ET. The match forms part of the LCK's Rounds 1–2 fixture block. Settlement occurs at 16:30 UTC on 8 May; the market resolves to the winning team, or 50–50 if the match is cancelled, delayed beyond seven days without completion, or ends in a tie. A forfeiture or walkover by either team triggers resolution to the team advancing.

The 0% crowd probability reflects either minimal trading activity or strong consensus that this market lacks sufficient liquidity or clarity for meaningful participation at present. Historical LCK scheduling has been reliable, with cancellations or extended delays rare outside major incidents; comparable esports prediction markets on established leagues typically see resolution without dispute. Gen.G has maintained top-tier status in LCK competition, whilst DRX's recent form and roster composition will determine competitive positioning heading into this fixture.

Traders should monitor LCK official announcements for any schedule changes, player roster updates, or health-related absences in the weeks preceding 8 May. Broadcast confirmations typically arrive 48–72 hours before match time. The German GlüStV framework classifies esports prediction markets as gaming contracts requiring operator licensing; US CFTC oversight applies if the platform operates within US jurisdiction or accepts US customers. Markets under $1,500 notional value often operate without full KYC requirements on certain platforms, though regulatory status varies by jurisdiction and operator compliance posture.

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.

FAQ

Is this market available outside the US?

PolyGram is available in most jurisdictions where Polymarket isn't directly accessible. Polymarket itself is geo-blocked in the US/UK/EU. Always check local regulations.

How does resolution work?

Through the UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon: a proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and USDC payouts settle automatically once the result is final.

What's the difference between YES and NO shares?

A YES share pays $1.00 if the event happens, $0 otherwise. A NO share pays $1.00 if the event doesn't happen. The market price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the implied probability.

What does it cost to trade on PolyGram?

Zero. PolyGram routes every order to the live Polymarket order book; the only cost is the Polygon network fee, typically under $0.01 per transaction.

Do I need to KYC for this market?

Not under $1,500 of lifetime trading volume. Above that threshold, PolyGram triggers a quick verification flow that finishes in minutes.
