Active sub-markets

Market context

FlyQuest and Sentinels will contest a lower bracket quarterfinal best-of-five series in the 2026 LCS Playoffs, scheduled for 30 May at 21:00 UTC. The match determines which team advances deeper into the playoffs' elimination bracket; the loser is eliminated from championship contention. Settlement occurs within 24 hours of match completion or by 31 May 02:00 UTC if unresolved.

The 100% implied probability reflects the structural certainty of this fixture rather than predictive confidence in either team's victory. LCS lower bracket matches have historically proceeded as scheduled absent extraordinary circumstances—cancellations or extended delays beyond the seven-day window remain rare. Comparable playoff fixtures from prior seasons show settlement typically occurs within hours of conclusion. Traders using conditional order logic should note that forfeiture scenarios (match begins but one team cannot continue) resolve to the winning team, whilst complete cancellations or ties trigger 50-50 resolution. This distinction matters for automated position management.

Catalysts to monitor include roster changes or player availability announcements from either organisation in the week preceding the match, official LCS schedule confirmations, and venue or broadcast infrastructure updates. Recent LCS communications have maintained fixture integrity through the 2026 season. Programmatically, traders should track official LCS announcements and team social channels for withdrawal or substitution notices, which could affect match completion probability. The settlement window's extension to 02:00 UTC on 31 May provides a 26-hour buffer beyond the scheduled start, accommodating typical match duration and administrative processing.

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

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.
