Description
This event group covers a best-of-five League of Legends match between DN SOOPers Challengers and Nongshim Esports Academy in the LCK Challengers League Kickoff Playoffs, scheduled for February 23, 2026 at 3:00 AM ET. Markets span individual game winners, series outcomes, game totals, and handicap spreads across Polymarket and Kalshi platforms.
Kalshi conflates match outcome with tournament championship outcome, while Polymarket markets resolve on the specific match result. Secondary divergence exists in resolution sources: liquipedia.net vs gol.gg, with different publication timelines and fallback rules.
Hero Tip:
Do not assume Kalshi and Polymarket will resolve identically. Kalshi's tournament-level language suggests it may require the team to win the entire Kickoff event, not just this match. For Polymarket, prioritize gol.gg data within 2 hours; after 2 hours, video consensus becomes valid. Cross-reference both sources before settlement.
Critical Divergence Points:
Kalshi: Market resolves Yes if either team wins the LCK Challengers League Kickoff 2026 tournament (not just the match). This conflates match victory with tournament championship. Quote: 'If Nongshim Esports Academy wins the LCK Challengers League Kickoff 2026: Nongshim Esports Academy vs. DN SOOPers Challengers League of Legends match originally scheduled for Feb 23, 2026, then the market resolves to Yes.' This language is ambiguous and suggests tournament-level resolution.
Polymarket: Markets resolve on the specific match outcome (match winner, individual game winners, series totals, handicaps). Primary source is liquipedia.net for game winners; gol.gg/esports/home for handicaps and Game 4, with 2-hour publication window before consensus reporting is permitted. Quote: 'The resolution source for this market will be official information from https://liquipedia.net/leagueoflegends/Main_Page' and 'if https://gol.gg/esports/home has not published final results within 2 hours after the event's conclusion, a consensus of credible reporting may be used instead including video evidence.'
