LoL: KT Rolster vs Dplus KIA (BO3) - LCK Round 3-4 Legend Group

Platform comparison

Market context

KT Rolster face Dplus KIA in an LCK Legend Group best-of-three, and the market’s 42% YES price implies the crowd makes KT the underdog. That sits against a slightly awkward recent baseline for KT: Dplus KIA won the latest recorded meeting 2-1 on 9 August, while the head-to-head over the last 12 months has been close enough to split wins 3-3 across six series, with the broader all-time ledger still leaning Dplus KIA 17-12.[1][2][16] For a programmatic trader, that means the current line is not simply a raw head-to-head vote; it is a blended read on roster strength, map volatility, and whether the market is giving extra weight to the most recent series result.[1][16]

The main catalysts to watch are line-up confirmation, any schedule shift around the August 12 fixture, and whether the teams have already locked in through the Legend Group standings, because a postponed or abandoned series can settle to 50-50 rather than a normal win/loss.[4] In practice, a bot or conditional-order workflow should keep polling the official match page and live score providers for start time changes, then trigger only once champion select is imminent; that avoids getting caught in stale pricing if the match is moved or the published listing is updated after the August 9 result.[2][4] Recent coverage of the prior series also points to Dplus KIA’s bot-lane edge in the comeback win, which is useful context if the rematch opens with similar draft priorities.[10]

Methodology

This page is a comparison snapshot: one live quote, four reference venues with their key attributes, and a single execution path — every trade button routes to Polymarket Review UK, which mirrors the Polymarket order book directly.

Resolution & payout

Polymarket-based markets settle through the UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and unchallenged proposals finalise the resolution. Payouts settle automatically in USDC the moment the result is final — no bookmaker, no delay.

Kalshi-based markets settle in USD via the CFTC-regulated clearinghouse. Betfair Exchange settles in GBP/EUR net of commission. Manifold is play-money and does not pay out real funds.
