This match is a Dota 2 best-of-two in Group B of the Esports World Cup 2026 in Paris, scheduled for July 10. Nigma Galaxy is the clear favourite. Let me write the description. Prediction markets are pricing a Dota 2 best-of-two between Nigma Galaxy and Level UP in Group B of the Esports World Cup 2026 in Paris, part of a single round-robin group stage running from 7 to 12 July with best-of-two matches. Winner markets sit on Polymarket and Kalshi, alongside a "draw (1-1)" market on Polymarket resolving Yes if the series ends level. Nigma Galaxy is the consensus favourite at 82.0% on Kalshi and 80.5% on Polymarket, with Level UP priced at 24.0% and 21.0% respectively on Polymarket and 75.0% "No" on Kalshi's Level UP side — a cross-platform spread of just 1.5 points on the favourite. The draw ("Tie/Yes") outcome is quoted around 66.5% on one Polymarket line and 75.0% on Kalshi, reflecting the format's high probability of a split series. Level UP's implied win chance in the mid-20s signals markets view them as significant underdogs but not without a game. The pricing tracks form heading into the match. Level UP were forced to a 1-1 draw earlier in the group and remained on the hunt for their first win, taking on PlayTime, and PlayTime kept Level UP winless, leaving Level UP without a series victory in the group. Nigma Galaxy, by contrast, have surged: they defeated Team Liquid 2-0 in Round 3, in one of the biggest upsets of Day 3, and remain tied with Aurora Gaming for the lead of Group B with a good chance to secure a direct berth to the Playoffs. Across platforms, pricing is tightly aligned around Nigma Galaxy as a heavy but not overwhelming favourite.
