This event group covers the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive Best-of-3 match between 3DMAX and Team Falcons in the IEM Rio Group A Upper Bracket Quarterfinal 4, originally scheduled for April 13, 2026 at 10:00–11:30 AM ET. Markets span series outcome, individual map winners, total maps played, map handicap, and odd/even statistics for kills and rounds across Maps 1–3.
Kalshi and Polymarket use different event scopes and resolution triggers. Kalshi focuses on a single binary outcome (over/under 2.5 maps), while Polymarket offers multiple distinct markets (match winner, map winners, map statistics, handicaps) that may resolve independently or to 50-50 based on different completion criteria.
Hero Tip:
If you trade on Kalshi's over/under 2.5 maps market, your resolution depends solely on total maps played. On Polymarket, individual map markets (Map 1 Winner, Map 2 Winner, etc.) may resolve 50-50 even if the series completes, because those specific maps might not be played if the series is clinched early. Verify which markets you hold and their specific play-completion requirements before settlement.
Critical Divergence Points:
Kalshi:
Distinct stance: Kalshi offers a single binary market on total maps played (over/under 2.5). It resolves YES if 3 or more maps are played, NO if fewer than 3 maps are played. Cancellation, tie, or delay beyond 7 days without completion triggers no resolution rule specified in the provided text, implying standard market suspension or void. Key quote: 'If over 2.5 maps are played in the IEM Rio 2026: Team Falcons vs. 3DMAX CS2 match originally scheduled for Apr 13, 2026 at 11:30 AM EDT, then the market resolves to Yes.'
Polymarket:
Distinct stance: Polymarket offers 9 separate markets (match winner, map winners, map-level statistics, handicaps) with granular resolution rules. Each market has independent completion criteria: match-level markets resolve 50-50 if canceled or delayed beyond 7 days; map-specific markets resolve 50-50 if that map is never played (e.g., series clinched before Map 2 or Map 3). Forfeits/walkovers at match level resolve 50-50, but if a team wins by opponent forfeiture mid-series, the match resolves to the winning team. Key quote: 'If the match is canceled (not played at all for any reason), ends in a tie, or is delayed beyond 7 days from the scheduled date without a winner determined, this market will resolve to 50-50. If the match begins but is not completed, and one team wins due to the opponent's match forfeiture, disqualification, or walkover, this market will resolve to 50-50.'
