PredictionHero - Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA)

Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)

Both Polymarket and Kalshi apply identical completion requirements, source hierarchy, and 50-50 tie-breaking logic across all match-level and map-level markets.Primary resolution logic: vlr.gg official match results; consensus of credible reporting (including video evidence) if vlr.gg unavailable within 2 hours of event conclusion

Core resolution logic:

  • Match winner (BO3): Paper Rex wins if they win 2 maps; NRG wins if they win 2 maps. Forfeits/disqualifications/walkovers before match start resolve 50-50; if match begins and one team wins via opponent forfeit/disqualification/walkover, that team wins.
  • Individual map winners (Map 1, 2, 3): Resolve to the team winning that map if played to completion. If map not played or not completed, resolve 50-50.
  • Map round handicaps (Map 1, 2, 3 at -2.5/+2.5): Paper Rex wins if they exceed opponent by 3+ rounds on that map. Requires map played to completion with actual rounds; forfeits/defaults on the map resolve 50-50.
  • Map total rounds (Over/Under thresholds at 20.5, 21.5, 22.5): Resolve Over if combined rounds exceed threshold, Under if below. Requires map played to completion; forfeits/defaults on the map resolve 50-50.
  • Series map count (Over/Under 2.5): Resolves Over if 3+ maps played; Under if fewer than 3. Forfeits/defaults count if match is completed; incomplete matches resolve 50-50.
  • Map handicap series (Map Handicap -1.5/+1.5): Paper Rex wins if they win 2+ more maps than NRG. Forfeits/defaults count if match completed; incomplete matches or match forfeits resolve 50-50.

Edge cases & clarifications:

  • Match Cancellation or Tie: If match is canceled (not played at all) or ends in a tie, all markets resolve 50-50.
  • Delay Beyond 7 Days: If match is delayed beyond 7 days from scheduled date (July 2, 2026) without a winner determined or map completion, affected markets resolve 50-50.
  • Incomplete Match with Forfeit: If match begins but is not completed, and one team wins due to opponent forfeit/disqualification/walkover, match winner market resolves to the winning team. Series map count and map handicap markets resolve 50-50 in this scenario. Individual map markets resolve based on completed maps only.
  • Clinching Map Forfeit: If the clinching map (the map that decides the series) is forfeited, the match is treated as completed for series-level markets; the team winning the series via that forfeit wins the match market.
  • Map Not Played to Completion: If any map is not played at all, not played to completion, or decided by forfeit/disqualification/walkover rather than actual rounds, that map's winner market and all round-based markets for that map resolve 50-50.
Timing: Resolution occurs upon match completion (all maps played or series decided). If vlr.gg does not publish results within 2 hours of event conclusion, credible reporting consensus is used. Markets settle within 24 hours of official resolution.Our PredictionHero Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA) are there to help users identify potential differences across platforms. They do not replace or supersede the official rules and description of any prediction market. Users are solely responsible for reviewing and understanding the applicable rules and resolution criteria before placing any trade or bet. If you notice a potential inconsistency, discrepancy, or error in an alert, please report it to our team so we can review and improve the accuracy of our data.

Polymarket

This market refers to the Valorant match between Paper Rex and NRG in the Esports World Cup Group B, initially scheduled for July 2 at 9:45AM ET. This market will resolve to "Paper Rex" if Paper Rex win the match against NRG. This market will resolve to "NRG" if NRG win the match against Paper Rex. If the match is canceled (not played at all), ends in a tie, or is delayed beyond 7 days from the scheduled date without a winner determined, this market will resolve to 50-50. If the match begins but is not completed, and one team wins due to the opponent's forfeiture, disqualification, or walkover, this market will resolve to the team who wins. If the match ends in a forfeit, disqualification, or walkover (team withdraws before the start and the other wins automatically), this market will resolve to 50-50. The resolution source for this market will be official information from https://vlr.gg. However, if https://vlr.gg 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. In cases where a team’s listed name includes minor discrepancies from the resolution source, this market will resolve based on the underlying real-world match rather than exact name matching. Recognizable abbreviations, alternate or erroneous spellings, sponsor tags, affiliate or academy designations, regional identifiers, and minor formatting differences will be treated as referring to the same team, provided the intended team can be clearly and uniquely identified within the relevant competition. If a listed team name has no reasonable connection to any participating team, or if it matches or could reasonably refer to another team in the same competition such that the intended team cannot be unambiguously determined, this market will resolve 50-50.

Kalshi

Resolution is determined by the outcome of Map 1 in the Esports World Cup 2026: NRG vs. Paper Rex Valorant match scheduled for July 2, 2026 at 9:45 AM EDT. The market resolves based on which team successfully wins the map.

Frequently asked questions

On Polymarket and Kalshi, traders collectively price the outcome of the Paper Rex vs NRG Valorant match across multiple contract types. The primary market tracks the overall series winner in a best-of-three format at the Esports World Cup Group B stage, while secondary markets isolate individual map results. Aggregating these platforms reveals consensus sentiment: one shows stronger conviction toward Paper Rex, while the other reflects tighter odds on map-level performance. Cross-platform tracking helps traders identify where smart money is concentrating and spot pricing inefficiencies between venues.

Prediction markets like Polymarket and Kalshi operate on peer-to-peer order books where traders directly set prices, whereas traditional sportsbooks employ oddsmakers and margin. Prediction markets often reflect sharper, real-time consensus because participants have direct financial exposure and no house edge distorts the line. For esports events like this one, prediction markets may move faster on breaking roster news or scrim results since retail sportsbooks update less frequently. However, sportsbooks offer tighter liquidity in some regions, so comparing both venues helps identify which platform is pricing the event most efficiently.

Polymarket and Kalshi serve different trader bases with distinct regulatory frameworks and contract designs. Polymarket and Kalshi can show different implied probabilities for the same outcome because of liquidity, fee structure, participant mix, and how each venue defines the contract. Polymarket's series-winner contract attracts macro esports bettors, while Kalshi's map-level contracts appeal to players seeking granular exposure. Liquidity concentration, settlement timing, and fee structures also drive wedges: one platform may have deeper order books or faster execution, causing prices to diverge by several percentage points. Arbitrage traders exploit these gaps, but friction costs and withdrawal delays often prevent full convergence, especially in lower-volume esports markets.

Roster changes, player illness, or last-minute stand-ins can shift odds significantly in the days before the match. Recent scrim results, map veto patterns, and head-to-head records between the teams are closely watched by sharp traders. Patch updates to Valorant itself may favor one team's agent pool or playstyle, triggering repricing. Live map results during the series will cause rapid swings as traders update their expectations for the remaining games. Monitor team social media and esports news outlets for any announcements that could affect competitive readiness or strategy.
