DN SOOPers, a South Korean League of Legends team, ended an 18-match losing streak on April 5 by defeating BRO 2-1 in the LCK, one of the longest winless stretches in the league’s history. Reports indicate this drought may have extended to 26 to 30 games at its peak during the 2026 season. Traders who took a contrarian position on prediction markets hosted by platforms like Coinbase and Kalshi were rewarded for this unexpected victory. The franchise, formerly known as Afreeca Freecs and then Kwangdong Freecs before its late 2025 rebrand, also dismissed head coach Odin during this difficult period. While no crypto tokens are directly linked to the teams themselves, esports provides particularly suitable terrain for prediction markets due to the frequency of its matchups and the clarity of its results.
