Between-Map Quoting in Best-of Series

The gap between maps in a best-of-three is a genuine pause with no play happening, but a burst of repositioning as everyone digests the result just posted. You quote both sides of the series market through that window around a fair value derived from the new score and each team's remaining map strength. Because nothing can happen while the players are on the break, inventory risk during the window itself is close to zero.

What you need to run it

  • Series fair-value model that reprices instantly on each map result
  • Automated quoting that starts at map end and flattens before the next map begins
  • Per-map strength ratings so the fair value reflects what is still to be played

Where this applies

Markets on Polymarket where between-map quoting in best-of series is the natural play:

  • Will T1 win their current League of Legends series?
  • Will FaZe win this Bo3 after losing map one?
  • Will the series go to a deciding map?
