Dota 2: Team AION vs Dandelions (BO3) - EPL Masters Play-In Group B

Platform comparison

Market context

Team AION versus Dandelions in the EPL Masters Play-In Group B is being priced at **0% YES** on Polymarket, which means the contract is currently behaving as a near-zero chance of settling to Team AION rather than Dandelions. Because the market is settled in **USDC** on **Polygon** through conditional tokens, the key question for holders is not the game in the abstract but whether the match is actually played to a completed result before the resolution window closes.

The current price sits far away from the broader match-read available elsewhere. Bo3.gg lists the fixture and scoreline options for Team AION vs Dandelions, while Strafe’s match page shows users heavily leaning towards **Dandelions**, with **88.9%** of votes on Dandelions and **11.1%** on Team AION.[1][4] For a Polymarket user, that kind of outside-market consensus matters because a 0% contract can still move if the event is confirmed and the settlement path becomes clear; it only resolves to **50-50** if the match is cancelled, ends level, or is delayed more than seven days without a winner.

The main catalysts to watch are straightforward: official lobby start, any schedule slippage, and whether either team fields a full roster. If the series starts but cannot be completed, forfeit rules become the decisive factor for settlement, so live updates from tournament coverage are more relevant than pre-match hype. With the market’s settlement clock tied to the listed July 24 window, traders are mainly watching for confirmation that the BO3 goes ahead cleanly rather than relying on pre-match sentiment.[1][4]
