LoL: Bilibili Gaming vs EDward Gaming (BO3) - LPL Group Ascend

Platform comparison

Market context

Bilibili Gaming and EDward Gaming are due to play a best-of-three League of Legends match in the LPL Group Ascend, and a share settling **YES** means Bilibili Gaming win the match, while **NO** means EDward Gaming win. The listed crowd price of 81% for YES implies the market is leaning strongly towards Bilibili Gaming, but prediction-market prices reflect a live estimate, not a guarantee of outcome.

Recent head-to-head results support that tilt. Bilibili Gaming beat EDward Gaming 3-0 in June 2026, and another July 2026 meeting also went Bilibili’s way, 2-1, which suggests they have had the edge in the most recent series between the sides.[1][10][15] Longer-run matchup data still shows a narrower historical gap than the current price may imply, with Bilibili leading the all-time series 6-4 in one database and 16-13 in maps, so the market is also pricing in current form rather than just raw lifetime record.[13]

For traders, the key checks are whether the match starts on schedule and whether the official result is completed within the settlement rules. If it is cancelled, not played, or drifts more than seven days beyond the scheduled date without a winner, the market resolves 50-50; if a game begins but cannot be finished, the winner is the team awarded the match under the competition’s official rules. The most important live catalysts are roster confirmations, any schedule changes from the organiser, and whether the event is actually listed as finished on match trackers such as Sofascore or Liquipedia.[2][16]

UK Frequently Asked Questions

How does resolution work?

Through the UMA Optimistic Oracle on Polygon: a proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour challenge window opens, and USDC payouts settle automatically once the result is final.

What's the difference between YES and NO shares?

A YES share pays $1.00 if the event happens, $0 otherwise. A NO share pays $1.00 if the event doesn't happen. The market price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the implied probability.

Is Polymarket legal in the UK?

Polymarket is accessible to UK traders but is not UKGC-licensed. It operates under US CFTC jurisdiction. UK residents face no domestic legal prohibition on using it, but UKGC consumer protections do not apply. For UKGC-regulated alternatives, Betfair Exchange and Smarkets offer similar prediction-style markets.

Do I pay tax on prediction market profits in the UK?

UKGC-licensed platform profits (Betfair, Smarkets) are typically tax-free gambling winnings for UK individuals. Polymarket profits involve USDC crypto transactions, which HMRC treats as Capital Gains Tax events. Keep full transaction records and report via Self Assessment if gains exceed £3,000 per tax year.
