Polymarket Predicts Near Certainty for Na'Vi in Dota 2 Match Amidst Apparent Cancellation
A Polymarket prediction market for the Dota 2 PGL Wallachia Game 2 between Aurora and Natus Vincere shows Natus Vincere with near-impossible odds, despite recent tournament results suggesting the match may not even take place.
The Polymarket prediction market concerning the winner of Game 2 in the Dota 2 PGL Wallachia Playoffs match between Aurora and Natus Vincere has garnered significant attention, with a trading volume exceeding $1.2 million. The market's current prices, standing at an astonishing 0.0005 for Aurora and 0.9995 for Natus Vincere, imply an almost absolute certainty of victory for Natus Vincere. However, a deeper look into the PGL Wallachia tournament's recent results reveals a critical development that could render these odds completely mispriced.
The market refers to a match initially scheduled for September 26, 2026, at 6:00 AM ET, as part of the PGL Wallachia Playoffs Lower Bracket Quarterfinal 1. The resolution source is stipulated as official information from dotabuff.com.
Recent developments in the PGL Wallachia Season 9 playoffs indicate a high probability that the Aurora vs. Natus Vincere match, as described, will not occur. According to reports updated as of September 26, 2026, Aurora Gaming competed against Team Yandex on Friday, September 25, and suffered a 1-2 defeat, resulting in their elimination from the tournament. Simultaneously, Natus Vincere secured a 2-1 victory over Team Nemesis, also on Friday, September 25, allowing them to advance in the lower bracket.
Given that the PGL Wallachia Playoffs operate under a double-elimination format, Aurora's loss to Team Yandex on September 25 means they are no longer in contention. Consequently, a lower bracket quarterfinal match between Aurora and Natus Vincere on September 26 is logistically impossible. While some schedules still list the match for today, September 26, the elimination of Aurora directly contradicts this possibility.
The extreme odds favoring Natus Vincere (0.9995) suggest that Polymarket traders either possess information not publicly available, or, more likely, are responding to an overwhelming consensus that Natus Vincere would have won had the match occurred, or are overlooking the crucial detail of Aurora's prior elimination. This creates a significant discrepancy when juxtaposed with the market's own resolution rules.
According to the Polymarket's terms, if Game 2 is not completed for any reason, or if the match is canceled (not played at all), the market will resolve 50-50. With Aurora's confirmed elimination, the stipulated match cannot take place, leading to an almost certain cancellation or non-completion of Game 2. Therefore, under the market's explicit rules, a 50-50 resolution appears to be the most logical outcome, directly contradicting the current near-certainty odds for Natus Vincere. This situation presents a peculiar scenario for traders, highlighting the importance of verifying tournament progression against scheduled events.
