What Happened: Team Yandex vs PARIVISION at the Esports World Cup

How the Market Called It: Game 2 Winner

The Game 2 Winner market closed at 100 percent, a full YES resolution confirming the game was played and reached a definitive result. The market opened at 64 percent on the YES side and moved sharply on July 18, climbing 39 percent in a single session before settling at full resolution.

The final probability at close was 100 percent, which the market reached correctly — Game 2 did occur. The 24-hour volume hit $5.16 million out of $5.18 million lifetime, showing the overwhelming majority of capital entered on the day of resolution. That concentration of late volume reflects traders responding to live match data rather than pre-series positioning, which is a typical pattern for in-play Dota 2 prop markets.

Large trades in the seven-day window totaled $284,410, split bullish: $179,545 on the buy side versus $104,864 on the sell side. The market read was correct — Game 2 was played.
