Pronóstico: LoL: G2 Esports vs T1 (BO5) - Mid-Season Invitational Playoffs

Platform comparison

Market context

G2 Esports faces T1 in the lower-bracket quarterfinal 2 of the Mid-Season Invitational Playoffs, a match set for 4:00AM ET on 8 July 2026. On Polymarket, this contract trades at 28% YES for G2 Esports, reflecting a crowd-implied view that T1 is the stronger side. The market resolves to G2 if they win the BO5, to T1 if they win, and to 50-50 if the match is cancelled, tied, or delayed beyond seven days without a winner. Settlement closes at 14:00:00Z on 8 July, with USDC on Polygon and conditional tokens governing the on-chain mechanics.

Historically, T1 has dominated this matchup, winning seven of ten recorded games against G2, including a 3-0 victory at the 2017 MSI [5]. Their most recent encounter on 29 November 2025 saw G2 win a single game, but Strafe users still predict T1 to win with 69.4% confidence [1]. This 28% price for G2 aligns with that long-term trend, suggesting traders view the BO5 format as a test of T1’s superior consistency rather than a fluke upset opportunity.

Traders should monitor official MSI 2026 schedule updates and any team announcements regarding roster changes or forfeits before the match begins [4]. Liquipedia confirms the match time as 17:00 KST on 8 July, and any delay beyond this window could trigger the 50-50 resolution clause [4]. Recent coverage of T1’s Round 1 performance against BLG highlights their current form, which may influence pre-match sentiment [2]. No new roster news has emerged as of 7 July, but sudden cancellations or delays would shift the market decisively.

Methodology

Methodologically we separate two layers: the live probability (Polymarket mid-price) and the platform attributes (fee, KYC, settlement currency, payment rails). That keeps the comparison honest — a single canonical probability across the row, with the venue-by-venue trade-offs spelt out in the columns next to it.

Resolution & payout

At resolution the UMA oracle takes over: a proposer posts the outcome with a bond, any token holder can dispute within two hours. Without dispute the result is accepted and the smart contract distributes USDC instantly.

On Kalshi (CFTC-regulated) resolution runs through their in-house clearing engine in USD. Betfair Exchange settles after match end in the account's local currency. Manifold pays no cash — only its in-platform "mana" currency.
