70% — MSI 2026 Winning Region: LCK (South Korea)
Polymarket 70% · 1 contracts · $1K volume · low confidence
Updated 2026-06-08 11:08:46 UTC

Why this matters:
This probability reflects the market's assessment that a South Korean team from the LCK region will win the Mid-Season Invitational 2026. At 79%, the market assigns substantially higher odds to LCK than other regions. This reflects LCK's historical dominance in international League of Legends competition, particularly at MSI where Korean teams have won multiple tournaments. The probability could shift based on recent performance trajectories of LCK teams versus representatives from other major regions like LEC, LPL, and wildcards leading into the tournament. The MSI 2026 event itself, scheduled for later in 2026, will ultimately determine the outcome. Until then, movements in this probability would likely track major regional tournament results, roster changes, and head-to-head international matchups that occur before MSI begins.

Key factors:
- LCK's historical MSI win rate and international tournament track record relative to other regions
- Current year-to-date performance of top LCK teams compared to title contenders from LEC, LPL, and other regions
- Roster composition, player transfers, and team stability within the LCK heading into MSI 2026
- Results from regional championships and qualifying tournaments that determine which teams represent each region
- Recent international tournament results or scrims that reveal competitive gaps between regions

Contracts:
- MSI 2026 Winning Region: LCK (South Korea) — 70¢ Polymarket $1K (weight 100%)

## Methodology

SimpleFunctions aggregates live YES-side prices from Kalshi and Polymarket contracts bound to this question. For binary topics the headline is the liquidity-weighted mid-price (weight = log(1 + 24h volume) × freshness, where freshness is 1.0 if updated <24h, 0.7 if <7d, 0.4 otherwise). For multi-outcome (winner-take-all) topics the headline is the current leader's price — disjoint outcomes are never arithmetically averaged. Snapshots refresh every 5 minutes during market hours.

## SF Signal

- SF Index, regime, and 30d Brier calibration are computed separately and surfaced at https://simplefunctions.dev/admin/calibration.
- No SimpleFunctions index / regime / calibration signal is bound to this topic yet — the headline above is market-derived only.
