LoL: SK Gaming vs Team Vitality (BO3) - LEC Regular Season

Platform comparison

Market context

Team Vitality’s match with SK Gaming is priced as a modest Vitality lean, with the crowd putting **39%** on SK despite Vitality carrying the stronger recent profile into the LEC regular-season series. Polymarket’s own event page describes Vitality as 7-4 in the 2026 Versus split versus SK at 3-8, which fits the market’s expectation that SK need a clean read on draft and early skirmishes to overturn the wider form gap.[7]

Recent head-to-heads also point towards Vitality being the more reliable side in this pairing. The teams have met repeatedly across LEC splits, with Vitality ahead on the all-time series and having won their Spring 2026 regular-season meeting 2-1, while earlier 2025 meetings also went Vitality’s way.[16][18] That history matters because BO3s reduce variance versus single games, making the team with the steadier lane-to-late-game conversion easier to back when the price is close to even.[16][18]

The main catalysts today are simple: whether both line-ups are confirmed on schedule, whether there is any last-minute roster or starting role change, and whether the series runs in its expected BO3 slot rather than slipping late in the day.[1][11] If the match is delayed, abandoned, or not completed, the market’s settlement rules can override the competitive result, so traders should watch the LEC broadcast schedule and official match listings rather than just team form.[1][11]

This page is a comparison snapshot: one live quote, four reference venues with their key attributes, and a single execution path — every trade button routes to Prediction Today, which mirrors the Polymarket order book directly.

Resolution & payout

Polymarket-based markets settle through the UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and unchallenged proposals finalise the resolution. Payouts settle automatically in USDC the moment the result is final — no bookmaker, no delay.

Kalshi-based markets settle in USD via the CFTC-regulated clearinghouse. Betfair Exchange settles in GBP/EUR net of commission. Manifold is play-money and does not pay out real funds.
