This market group covers a single League of Legends Best-of-1 match between Deer Gaming and Lundqvist Lightside in the NLC Regular Season, scheduled for February 25, 2026 at 3:00 PM ET. The outcome is determined by which team wins the match, with specific rules for cancellations, ties, forfeits, and delays.
Kalshi's resolution logic is fundamentally broken: both possible outcomes (Lundqvist Lightside wins NLC 2026 OR Deer Gaming wins NLC 2026) resolve to Yes, creating a non-binary market. Additionally, Kalshi references tournament-level results rather than the specific match outcome. Polymarket correctly defines binary match-level resolution with explicit edge-case handling.
Hero Tip:
Polymarket's resolution framework is sound and match-focused. Kalshi's market is logically unresolvable as written because it guarantees a Yes outcome regardless of match result. Avoid Kalshi until the platform corrects the resolution criteria to reference the specific match outcome, not the full season tournament.
Critical Divergence Points:
Kalshi:
References NLC 2026 tournament victory (season-long result) rather than the specific Feb 25 match. Both Lundqvist Lightside winning NLC 2026 AND Deer Gaming winning NLC 2026 resolve to Yes, eliminating the binary structure. No explicit No resolution path exists. Quote: 'If Lundqvist Lightside wins the NLC 2026... then the market resolves to Yes. If Deer Gaming wins the NLC 2026... then the market resolves to Yes.'
Polymarket:
Correctly defines binary match-level resolution: Deer Gaming win = Deer Gaming, Lundqvist Lightside win = Lundqvist Lightside. Explicit edge cases: cancellation/tie/7+ day delay = 50-50; mid-match forfeit/disqualification = winning team; pre-match forfeit/walkout = 50-50. Primary source: gol.gg with 2-hour fallback to credible reporting. Quote: 'This market will resolve to Deer Gaming if Deer Gaming win the match against Lundqvist Lightside.'
