This market centers on the outcome of the JD Gaming versus Anyone's Legend match in Week 1 of the LPL 2026 Split 2 Group Ascend, scheduled for July 23, 2026. Split 2 is the LPL's final domestic split and the direct pathway to World Championship qualification, where standings points contested from the opening week shape seeding and postseason positioning — making each series within this stage a consequential test of a team's readiness to compete at the highest level of Chinese professional League of Legends. Traders are weighing both organisations' recent form, draft versatility, individual carry performance, and head-to-head dynamics to determine which team is more likely to secure the series win on the day.

1. Market Outcomes and Resolution Criteria: This market resolves to "JDG" if JD Gaming is officially recorded as the winner of this scheduled LPL match, and the match is completed before the market end date. It resolves to "AL" if Anyone's Legend is officially recorded as the winner under the same conditions. It resolves to "Tie" if this match is canceled, postponed beyond the market end date, concluded without an officially declared winner, or if no official winner is recorded by the market end date; in the event of a Tie resolution, all positions settle at $0.50 per share.

2. Definition of Official Winner: "Officially recorded as the winner" means the team listed as the winner in the official League of Legends Pro League match results published by Riot Games or its authorized regional operator for this match, determined through completion of all scheduled games according to official tournament rules. The series follows a best-of-3 (BO3) format; the first team to win 2 games is the official series winner.

3. Official Sources and Evidence: The primary source for resolution is the official match results and standings published by Riot Games via https://lolesports.com and the official LPL website (https://lpl.qq.com). Secondary reporting sources — including Liquipedia League of Legends and gol.gg — may be used only for confirmation of timing and result details and cannot override clear or later-dated official publications.

4. Resolution Timing: The market ends at the market end date and will normally be resolved as soon as reasonably practical after the official result is published, or once it becomes clear that no qualifying result will be recorded before the market end date.

5. Handling Postponements, Cancellations, and Non-Winner Outcomes: If this match is postponed but completed before the market end date, that result determines the outcome. If this match is completed after the market end date, canceled, or no official winner is declared by the market end date, the market resolves to "Tie." Technical pauses and within-day remakes follow the official LPL ruling; multi-day remakes are treated as postponements. Forfeit or default victories resolve per the official LPL statement.

6. Ambiguities and Disputes: If conflicting information exists regarding the result of this match, the most recent official publication from Riot Games or its authorized LPL operator takes precedence. In any remaining ambiguous case not explicitly covered above, the resolver will rely on official records for this specific match to determine the outcome.
