Game 1: Any Player Quadra Kill?

This market resolves on a single prop in the EMEA Masters Swiss Stage match between JSK Esports and Skillcamp Esport: whether any player records a quadra kill in Game 1. The No outcome is priced at 50%, effectively a coin flip, even though quadra kills are rare in professional League of Legends.

Our model estimates the probability of No at 88%. In high-level competitive play, quadra kills occur in roughly 10-15% of games, consistent with base rates in EMEA Masters and major leagues. Both teams are in the Swiss stage, where drafts and playstyles tend to be more controlled, and teams rarely take the risky 4-for-5 fights that produce quadra kills.

The market is likely inflated by an overestimation of highlight frequency and confusion with more common events like triple kills. For No to win, no player needs to collect four consecutive kills in a single teamfight or skirmish sequence. That is the default outcome in the vast majority of professional games.

The main risk is one early aggressive fight at Baron or Dragon that snowballs into a quadra, especially if one team dominates heavily. A hyper-carry stacking kills in the late game is also possible. Even then, the probability stays below 20%, which supports the No side at this price.
