What the contract measures

The saved market is a Kalshi contract titled "Will over 2.5 maps be played?" under the event "Nemiga Gaming vs. HULIGANI: Total Maps" [1]. The excerpt states that if over 2.5 maps are played in the EPL Masters 2026: Nemiga Gaming vs. HULIGANI Dota 2 match originally scheduled for Oct 19, 2026 at 8:00 AM EDT, the market resolves to Yes [1]. The contract therefore depends on the number of maps played, not on which team wins. The excerpt also says the market will close and expire after the event occurs [1]. Because the match is described as "originally scheduled," the evidence does not confirm when or whether it was played.

Reading the snapshot

The provider observation time is 2026-10-18T06:00:06.106Z, and the source was retrieved at 2026-10-18T07:53:17.565Z [1]. These are different times, and this record is a saved snapshot, not a live reading. At observation, the Yes price was 0.505 and the No price was 0.495 [1]. These figures are snapshot prices, not executable quotes, so they do not show what a trader could buy or sell. They also are not verified probabilities of the match result. The supplied record includes no volume figure, so it cannot show liquidity or the number of participants.

The sample covers one market for this event, and the record marks it as not a partial sample [1]. The sample includes only Kalshi, so no comparison with other platforms or contracts is possible from this evidence.

What remains uncertain

The excerpt says "Listed end time: not supplied," but the structured market data gives an end date of 2026-10-21T12:00:00.000Z [1]. These fields conflict, and the record does not explain the difference. Check the provider page for the listed closing time before relying on either value. The evidence also does not show whether the match has been played, how many maps were played, or whether the market has resolved. It does not explain why the Yes price sits close to even, and it contains no recent news about the teams or the event.
