Polymarket Market
The market correctly priced Team Secret Whales as 70 percent favorites at draft close, and the result aligned with expectations as the stronger side executed cleanly. Pun's early top-lane dominance on Yorick created more separation than anticipated from the pre-game odds. Individual flashes from Doggo on Xerath could not overcome the structural disadvantage. This result closes the series (3-0) and the full series-market wrap-up belongs in the series recap.
