LoL: Lodis vs Forsaken (BO3) - Rift Legends Regular Season

Platform comparison

Market context

Polymarket is pricing **Lodis vs Forsaken** at **0% YES** for Lodis, which is a sharp discount to the opposing side and implies the contract is effectively being treated as a near-certain Forsaken win or a settlement edge case rather than a balanced BO3. The market settles in **USDC on Polygon** through conditional tokens, so the trade is not on the abstract match narrative but on the specific resolution outcome tied to the series result and the event’s official status.

The main historical frame is the head-to-head record: Forsaken beat Lodis **2-1** in their most recent meeting on 5 May 2026, and match-tracking sites show Forsaken with a clear majority of past wins in this pairing.[1][10][15] For a market that is already at zero on Lodis, the relevant comparison is not whether Forsaken are favoured, but whether there is any realistic path to a Lodis win or a settlement outcome such as cancellation, a tie, or a delay beyond the seven-day window, all of which would matter more than the match narrative itself.[12]

A trader should watch for the official start time, any schedule changes, and whether the series is actually played to completion, because Polymarket’s resolution depends on the final match outcome and specific contingency rules.[12] Third-party listings place the BO3 on 11 August, with some variation in listed start times across sites, and several pages note no stream availability at the time of publication, which makes official bracket updates, tournament notices, and final score reporting the key catalysts if the event is delayed, rescheduled, or not completed.[2][3][10][11]

Methodology

Methodologically we separate two layers: the live probability (Polymarket mid-price) and the platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement currency, payment rails). That keeps the comparison honest — a single canonical probability across the row, with the venue-by-venue trade-offs spelt out in the columns next to it.

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.
