Game 2: Both Teams Slay Baron Nashor?
Event Resolved

JDG vs BLG Game 2: Baron Nashor Gets Both Teams? Market Says "Absolutely Not"
The League of Legends competitive scene is no stranger to high-stakes Baron Nashor fights - those nail-biting moments around the Rift's most powerful neutral objective that can swing an entire game in seconds. In a series between JD Gaming and Bilibili Gaming, two of China's elite LCK-adjacent powerhouses, Game 2 carries real weight. Baron Nashor, spawning at the 20-minute mark and respawning every six minutes after death, is the kind of objective that separates clean macro teams from chaotic ones. The question here is simple: do both teams each claim Baron at least once during the game?
The answer, according to Polymarket participants, is a resounding no. And they are not being subtle about it.
The Market Has Spoken, Loudly
The current pricing tells a story with all the subtlety of a Baron steal at full health. "Yes" sits at a microscopic 0.1% implied probability, while "No" is priced at essentially certainty - 100%. With only $92 in 24-hour trading volume, this is not exactly a liquid battlefield, but the signal is clear: the crowd believes it is overwhelmingly unlikely that both JDG and BLG will each slay Baron Nashor at least once in Game 2.
There are a few realistic reasons for this kind of pricing. One team might simply dominate Game 2 so thoroughly that the losing side never gets near Baron - a common occurrence in professional play, where snowballing leads often lock out the weaker team from the objective entirely. Alternatively, the game could end quickly enough that Baron is never even contested by both sides. Professional games at this level can sometimes wrap up before the Baron pool gets properly contested by both teams, especially in a stomp.
The one user comment floating around - someone wishing for a birthday miracle - is perhaps the most accurate summary of what it would take for this market to flip. Happy birthday, whoever you are. The market is not buying it.
What Should You Keep in Mind?
The near-zero "Yes" price reflects a strong consensus that one-sided Baron control is the most likely outcome of Game 2, whether through a dominant performance, a fast game, or simply the nature of elite competitive League of Legends. Markets like this one, with thin volume and extreme pricing, can occasionally misprice low-probability events - but participants here seem genuinely convinced that shared Baron glory is about as likely as a support one-shotting a fed carry. Worth watching the game itself if you care about the result, rather than treating this market as a close call.
FAQ
Q: What exactly needs to happen for this market to resolve "Yes"?
A: Both JD Gaming and Bilibili Gaming must each slay Baron Nashor at least once during Game 2. It is not enough for just one team to secure the objective - both sides need to get at least one Baron kill for the market to settle "Yes". If either team (or both) never takes down Baron Nashor, the market resolves "No".
Q: What happens if Game 2 is never played or gets cut short?
A: If Game 2 is never played due to a forfeit, disqualification, walkover, series clinch, or an outright cancellation or delay beyond 7 days, the market resolves 50-50. If the game starts but ends via surrender before completion, resolution is based on whether both teams had already slain Baron Nashor at the point of stoppage - if not, the market resolves "No". A remade game is treated as a fresh start, with only the remade version counting.
Q: Where does the resolution data come from?
A: The primary source is gol.gg, the official esports statistics platform. If gol.gg has not published final results within 2 hours after the match concludes, a consensus of credible reporting - including video evidence - may be used as a fallback to determine the outcome.
