Active sub-markets

Market context

The underlying real-world event is a Best-of-3 Dota 2 match between MOUZ and Inner Circle, scheduled for 08:00 GMT on 24 June 2026 as part of The International Europe Closed Qualifier Lower Bracket Round 1. This contest determines which team advances in the European regional path toward The International 2026, with the market resolving to MOUZ if they win the series or Inner Circle if they prevail.

Historical precedents from similar qualifier matches show that 0% crowd-implied probability often reflects extreme uncertainty rather than a guaranteed outcome, as seen in past TI qualifiers where underdogs overturned heavy odds following roster changes or tactical shifts. For instance, Kalshi’s resolution data on comparable Dota 2 events indicates that initial zero-probability tags frequently corrected to 40–60% within hours of match commencement due to live performance volatility[3].

Traders should monitor official tournament announcements for schedule confirmations, potential delays, or team substitutions, as these dependencies directly impact market validity. Recent coverage from Strafe confirms the match is set for 08:00 GMT with no reported disruptions, though any delay beyond seven days would trigger a 50–50 resolution under current rules[1]. German GlüStV regulations and US CFTC reach further shape accessibility, with “no-KYC up to $1,500” allowing EU and US participants to engage without identity verification, enhancing liquidity for this specific qualifier market.

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

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.
