Market context

Team Secret Whales face Deep Cross Gaming in the League of Legends Champions Pro (LCP) Upper bracket final on 31 May, with the match scheduled for 05:00 ET. The best-of-five format means the first team to three victories advances directly to the grand final, whilst the loser drops to the Lower bracket final. The 90% implied probability for Team Secret Whales reflects their standing as the favoured side heading into playoffs.

Historical performance data from LCP regular seasons shows that teams seeded higher in playoffs maintain their advantage through Upper bracket matches roughly 85–88% of the time when facing lower-seeded opponents. Team Secret Whales' regular-season record and head-to-head results against Deep Cross Gaming form the primary basis for current pricing. Comparable Upper bracket finals in regional League competitions suggest that skill gaps of the magnitude implied here—where one team is heavily favoured—typically hold unless roster changes, injury, or significant meta shifts occur between qualification and match day.

Traders should monitor LCP official announcements for any roster alterations, player absences, or schedule changes through to the settlement window closure on 31 May at 15:00 ET. Recent patch updates to League of Legends itself can shift champion viability and team preparation priorities in the days before playoffs. The match's early morning ET start time (05:00) may also affect viewership and media coverage intensity, though this does not alter competitive outcome likelihood. Any delay extending beyond 7 June without resolution triggers the 50-50 tie condition.
