This market centers on which team will be officially recorded as the winner of the Esports World Cup 2026 League of Legends match between Dplus KIA and T1, using the match result itself as the defining reference event. As a high-profile clash between two of Korea's premier League of Legends organizations at EWC 2026, the completion of this series represents a significant competitive milestone that directly shapes group standings and playoff positioning for both sides within one of esports' most prominent international events. Traders are evaluating team form, draft tendencies, head-to-head history, and broader competitive context to assess which team is more likely to secure the official series victory when the final game concludes.

1. Market Outcomes and Resolution Criteria: This market resolves to "Dplus KIA" if Dplus KIA is officially recorded as the winner of this scheduled series, completed within 24 hours of the originally scheduled start time. It resolves to "T1" if T1 is officially recorded as the winner under the same conditions. It resolves to "Tie" if this match is cancelled, postponed beyond 24 hours of the originally scheduled start time, concluded without an officially declared winner, or if no official winner is recorded within that window; 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 Esports World Cup 2026 League of Legends match results published by the tournament organizer for this series, determined through completion of all scheduled games according to official tournament rules.
3. Official Sources and Evidence: The primary source for resolution is the official match results published by the tournament organizer via lolesports.com and Liquipedia League of Legends. Secondary sources — including gol.gg and official team social media accounts — 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 resolves no sooner than 6 hours after the official result is published on lolesports.com following the conclusion of the series. Resolution is processed as soon as reasonably practical after that minimum window has elapsed.
5. Handling Postponements and Cancellations: If this match is postponed but completed with an official winner declared within 24 hours of the originally scheduled start time (07:00 UTC, May 25, 2026), that result determines the outcome. If this match is not completed, is cancelled, or no official winner is declared within 24 hours of the originally scheduled start time, the market resolves to "Tie."
6. Ambiguities and Disputes: If conflicting information exists regarding the result of this series, the most recent official publication from the tournament organizer via lolesports.com takes precedence. Technical pauses or within-day remakes are handled per official EWC 2026 League of Legends tournament rules. In any remaining ambiguous case, the resolver relies on official records for this specific series to determine the outcome.
