## Quick answer

LoL: RED Canids vs KT Rolster (BO3) is the named best-of-three in this contract. KT Rolster was priced at 96.9% in our October 4 observation. This article explains the matchup’s settlement conditions; it does not declare an unverified final score. [1](https://polymarket.com/event/lol-red-kt-2026-10-04)

## Key takeaways

- KT Rolster’s 96.9% quote heavily outweighs RED Canids’ 3.1%. At this level, confirming whether the series has started or finished is more useful than presenting the price as fresh evidence of team quality. Riot explains that League of Legends is won by destroying the opposing Nexus, rather than by a raw kill total. [2](https://www.leagueoflegends.com/en-us/how-to-play/)
- KT’s proposition is supported by the qualifying series victory. Our interpretation: objective control can help explain completed games, but the contract ultimately needs the declared match winner.
- RED Canids winning the series would satisfy the competing side. A pre-start walkover has a separate settlement treatment, so a team being shown as advancing is not always enough.
