Platform comparison

Active sub-markets

Market context

The underlying event is a Counter-Strike 2 match between ex-Sashi Academy and eternal premium in the European Pro League Series 8 Closed Qualifier, originally set for 6:30 AM ET on 25 June but now live on 26 June at 13:35 UTC. Crowd-implied probability sits at 0% for ex-Sashi Academy winning, suggesting the market views eternal premium as a near-certain victor. This extreme skew mirrors historical cases in lower-tier European qualifiers where one side fields a significantly more cohesive roster or has recent tournament momentum, often leading to 3-map sweeps or 2-0 finishes that validate pre-match odds without ambiguity[1][3].

A programmatically minded trader would monitor live score feeds and HLTV updates for real-time map outcomes, as the market resolves to the winner of the match, not the total maps[1][5]. Key catalysts include any official delay notices, roster changes, or match cancellations, which would trigger the 50-50 settlement clause if unresolved beyond seven days[3]. Recent tournament schedules confirm the match is active today, with no reported cancellations, reinforcing the current probability as a reflection of form rather than uncertainty[4]. Traders should watch for Dust2.us or GosuGamers live score confirmations to validate the winner before the settlement window closes on 26 June at 19:35 UTC[4][5].

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.
