LoL: Team Secret vs Karmine Corp (BO3) - Esports World Cup Group B

Platform comparison

Market context

Team Secret and Karmine Corp are set to face off in the League of Legends Lower Bracket semifinal at the Esports World Cup Group B, with the match scheduled to begin at 9:40 AM ET today. On Polymarket, this contract trades at 0% YES for Team Secret, implying the crowd views their victory as virtually impossible despite the match being live or imminent. The USDC-denominated share sits on Polygon, where conditional tokens lock in the outcome based on the official match result, with settlement finalising by 19:55 UTC if the game completes within the window.

Historically, a 0% price in esports prediction markets often signals a mismatch in tier or a confirmed roster issue rather than pure skill disparity. In past Esports World Cup events, teams entering from lower brackets with 0% implied win probabilities have occasionally overturned odds only when the higher-ranked side suffered a late disqualification or technical failure, cases where the market eventually resolved to the 50-50 tie clause. Such outcomes remain rare, with most 0% contracts resolving definitively to the favoured side once the first game concludes.

Traders should monitor the official Esports World Cup schedule for any delay announcements or roster confirmations, as a cancellation or seven-day delay would trigger the 50-50 resolution. Recent coverage from the Esports World Cup official site confirms the match is still listed for today with no reported roster changes for either team, suggesting the 0% price reflects Karmine Corp’s established dominance in the regional scene rather than an administrative error. Any shift in the live broadcast feed or a sudden delay notice would be the primary catalyst for a price re-evaluation.
