On Kalshi, this market is priced through an order-book mechanism where traders directly set bid and ask prices for shares representing each outcome. On Kalshi, prices reflect that venue's order book, liquidity, and how traders price the outcome right now. The price of a share reflects the marginal trader's belief about the probability of that outcome occurring.

Key catalysts include roster changes, player injuries, recent tournament performance, and pre-match analysis from esports commentators. Scrimmage results, team statements, or coaching adjustments can shift trader expectations significantly.
