LoL: ZennIT vs Senshi Esports Club (BO3) - Road Of Legends Regular Season

Platform comparison

Market context

ZennIT faces Senshi Esports Club in a League of Legends Best-of-3 match for the Road Of Legends Regular Season, originally set for 16 July at 2:00PM ET. Bookmakers heavily favour Senshi Esports, assigning them decimal odds of 1.10 against ZennIT’s 5.35, which aligns with the market’s current 0% implied probability for a ZennIT win[1]. This stark divergence between traditional book odds and prediction-market probabilities highlights how platforms like Polymarket, which use implied probability, contrast with Kalshi, Betfair and Smarkets, which typically display decimal odds and apply different fee structures and KYC thresholds.

Historically, matches where one team holds odds near 1.10 rarely see the underdog prevail unless the favourite suffers a late roster issue or the match is cancelled, triggering the 50-50 settlement clause. In comparable LoL regular-season fixtures, underdogs with implied probabilities below 5% have won only when the scheduled game was delayed beyond seven days or abandoned mid-play, conditions that would reset the market to an even split rather than confirm a ZennIT victory.

Traders should monitor official Road Of Legends announcements for roster changes, match postponements or cancellations, as these are the primary catalysts that could shift the 0% probability. A recent EGamersWorld forecast confirms Senshi Esports’ dominance, but any delay beyond the seven-day window or a cancellation would override current pricing and force a 50-50 resolution[1].
