Will Vitality win IEM Cologne Major 2026?

This market resolved against "Yes" on 2026-06-21, verified on-chain against Polymarket's settlement — the polymax engine called it wrong, and logs the loss anyway.

On 2026-06-12, the polymax engine's echo screen flagged this market and took "Yes" at 45¢ — the market was pricing that outcome at 45%, so a correct call would pay 2.25× the stake. 8.9 days later the market resolved on-chain, and the position settled as a loss: −$100.00, the full stake.

Why the engine took it

echo is one of the engine's ground-truth strategies: across 175 out-of-sample historical positions it hit 64% (95% CI 56.7–70.9%), a +13.3-point edge over the market's implied odds, returning +27.5% per bet. This position was sized with fractional Kelly from those numbers — not from a hunch.

The engine publishes its losses on purpose: a 64%-hit-rate strategy still loses 36% of the time, and any track record without losses on display is marketing, not measurement. This one is permanently archived on the losses page.
