Platform comparison

Active sub-markets

Market context

The underlying event is the Lower Bracket final of the VALORANT Masters London 2026, where EDward Gaming faced Leviatán Esports in a Best-of-5 match on 20 June. The contest concluded with Leviatán securing a decisive 3-0 victory, eliminating EDward Gaming in third place and advancing to the Grand Finals.

Historically, lower bracket finals in VCT Masters often favour the team with superior map control and recent momentum, as seen when pre-match models assigned Leviatán a 63% win probability before the fixture began[4]. In comparable cases, a 0% crowd-implied probability for the underdog post-match aligns with the definitive nature of a 3-0 sweep, where no conditional orders or copy-trading bots would have retained exposure to the eliminated side[1][3].

Traders monitoring such markets should prioritise official VCT announcements regarding match cancellations or delays, as these trigger the 50-50 settlement clause if unresolved beyond seven days[2]. Recent post-match press conferences confirm EDward Gaming’s elimination, serving as the primary catalyst for finalising the outcome[3]. With the settlement window ending 20 June 2026, the result is now immutable, and no further schedule dependencies remain active[6].

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.
