Pronóstico: LoL: G2 Esports vs T1 (BO5) - Mid-Season Invitational Playoffs

Platform comparison

Market context

G2 Esports faces T1 in the Mid-Season Invitational 2026 lower-bracket quarterfinal 2, a match set for 8:00 AM ET on 8 July 2026. The Polymarket contract currently prices G2’s win at 28% YES, implying a 72% chance for T1. This on-chain market, settled in USDC on Polygon via conditional tokens, reflects crowd sentiment that heavily favours the Korean side, mirroring Strafe’s 69.4% vote for T1[2].

Historically, T1 has dominated this matchup, winning seven of ten recorded matches, while G2’s sole recent victory came in a 1–0 result on 29 November 2025[2]. In past MSI encounters, such as the 2022 semifinal, T1 defeated G2 swiftly, with one game ending faster than their match against AZE[9]. G2’s 2022 MSI run saw them win a quarterfinal 3–1, but their overall record against T1 remains poor[4]. These precedents frame the current 28% probability as consistent with T1’s long-term superiority.

Traders should monitor official MSI 2026 schedule updates and any roster announcements before the match, as delays or cancellations could trigger the 50–50 settlement clause. The match’s start time is confirmed, but any postponement beyond seven days without a winner will resolve the market to an even split[2]. Recent GosuGamers coverage confirms the live score event is scheduled for 8 July, with no indication of disruption yet[7]. Watch for real-time bracket updates, as lower-bracket volatility can shift momentum unexpectedly.
