Description
This event group covers a Dota 2 Best-of-2 match between Team Liquid and Team Yandex in DreamLeague Stage 1 Group A, scheduled for February 17, 2026 at 6:00 AM ET. Markets track the overall match winner, Game 1 winner, and Game 2 winner across Polymarket and Kalshi platforms.
Polymarket specifies detailed resolution sources (dotabuff.com for overall match, twitch.tv/esl_dota2 for games) with explicit edge-case handling (forfeits = 50-50, delays >7 days = 50-50, incomplete games = 50-50). Kalshi provides minimal detail: only that a Yes resolution occurs if either team wins, with no source, no edge-case logic, and no clarification on forfeits or walkovers.
Hero Tip:
Polymarket offers superior clarity and is the safer choice for precise settlement. If you trade Kalshi, assume any team victory (including by forfeit or walkover) may resolve Yes, but verify with Kalshi support before market close. Cross-platform traders should hedge: Polymarket's 50-50 on forfeits may diverge from Kalshi's potential Yes outcome.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket: Three distinct markets with explicit resolution sources and edge-case rules. Overall match (BO2) resolves via dotabuff.com; forfeits/walkovers before start or delays >7 days = 50-50. Game 1 and Game 2 resolve via twitch.tv/esl_dota2 with 12-hour fallback to credible reporting; incomplete games = 50-50. Forfeits during play = winner resolves; forfeits before start = 50-50.
Kalshi: Single binary market: resolves Yes if Team Yandex or Team Liquid wins the Feb 17, 2026 match. No explicit resolution source, no edge-case definitions, no clarification on forfeits, walkovers, or incomplete matches. Ambiguous whether a forfeit or walkover counts as a win.
