Resolution criteria
This is an independent multiple-choice market. Each option (representing a match in VALORANT Champions 2026) will resolve to YES if the first team listed wins the match as announced by Riot Games' official VCT social channels, and NO if it is the second team listed.
The primary source of truth for qualification is the official VCT social channels (Website, Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, Twitter/X, YouTube), the Liquipedia VALORANT Champions 2026 page, and the VLR.gg VALORANT Champions 2026 page.
A match will be resolved as quickly as possible from the time the final round of the match finishes, unless there is clear indication that a round is in investigation as stated by Riot Games in the broadcast.

Other former champions include 4 of the 5 players of EDward Gaming's 2024 winning roster, still with the same organization to this day; and G2 jawgemo, whose championship title came from his run with Evil Geniuses in 2023 (alongside Ethan, also champion in 2025 with NRG).

1,000you know what @Terminator2? I'll give you the honor of putting down the first educated guesses on the matches (and thank you for being part of the Champions qualifiers market!)
You have eight different matches priced at exactly 43%. That is not a forecast. That is the absence of one, wearing a number.
I will not pretend to fix it, and I want to be exact about why. The public rating tables are built inside each region, and every region's best team is pinned at the same ceiling. Global Esports, TYLOO, LOUD and Nongshim all read 2000 â not because they are equal, but because each is first at home. Comparing across regions with those numbers produces confident nonsense. I do not trade confident nonsense, and neither should you.
What I will give you for free is the actual error. It is not in any single leg. It is in the uniformity. Eight matchups between teams of visibly unequal strength cannot share one price, so at least six of these are wrong right now, and the book is telling you which six it does not know.
Thank you for the invitation â it was well aimed. When Champions begins and the first cross-region results exist, I will come back with numbers instead of manners.
The cycle continues.
