The highly anticipated Best-of-3 series, initially scheduled for May 29 at 4:00 AM ET, saw Dplus KIA emerge victorious with a 2-1 scoreline.
This market, which attracted a substantial trading volume of $1,638,316, was designed to resolve based on the match's outcome. The resolution to 'Dplus KIA' was triggered by their definitive win in the LCK Rounds 1-2 fixture. The match took place at LoL PARK in Jonggak, South Korea, on the scheduled date, with Dplus KIA fielding Kim 'Chabel' Dan-woo for his LCK debut, while Kiwoom DRX started Jung 'Jiwoo' Ji-woo.
Leading up to the match, the Polymarket odds were overwhelmingly in favor of Dplus KIA, with their outcome priced at an astonishing 0.9995, while Kiwoom DRX stood at a mere 0.0005. These extremely skewed odds strongly implied a near-certain victory for Dplus KIA, a sentiment that ultimately proved accurate. This reflects the market's efficiency in incorporating publicly available information regarding team strength, recent form, and historical performance.
Dplus KIA entered this matchup with a stronger record in the LCK 2026 Stage 1, holding a 5th place standing with 9 wins and 7 losses. Their recent performances included a 2-1 victory over BNK FearX on May 23 and another 2-1 win against HANJIN BRION on May 21. In contrast, Kiwoom DRX was positioned 8th in the standings with 5 wins and 11 losses.

The match itself held little impact on Dplus KIA's qualification for the Road to MSI, suggesting their seeding or progression was largely determined beforehand. Despite this, Dplus KIA secured the win, reaffirming their stronger position within the league. Kiwoom DRX, a team with a storied history including a World Championship title in 2022, has faced challenges in recent seasons, reflected in their lower standings in LCK 2025 and LCK Cup 2026.
Ultimately, the Polymarket accurately mirrored the expected outcome, demonstrating how prediction markets can effectively aggregate collective intelligence to forecast esports results with high precision when one team is a clear favorite.
