Counter-Strike: 9z vs RED Canids Academy (BO3) - PGL Astana: South American Closed Qualifier Playoffs

Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)

Core resolution logic:

• Match outcome (9z vs RED Canids Academy) resolves based on series winner; if match begins but is incomplete and one team wins by opponent forfeiture/disqualification/walkover, the winning team is declared; if match ends in forfeit/disqualification/walkover before play begins, resolve to 50-50
• Series length (O/U 2.5 maps / Over 2.5 maps) resolves to Over if 3+ maps played, Under if fewer than 3; forfeits/disqualifications/walkovers count if match is completed; if match is incomplete or begins but not finished with a forfeit winner, resolve to 50-50
• Map handicap (9z -1.5 vs RED Canids Academy +1.5) resolves to 9z if 9z wins 2+ more maps than RED Canids Academy; forfeits/disqualifications/walkovers count if match is completed; if match incomplete or begins but not finished with a forfeit winner, resolve to 50-50
• Individual map winners (Map 1, Map 2, Map 3) resolve based on which team wins that map; if map is completed with a winner, resolve accordingly; if map not completed, resolve to 50-50; if map not played due to series clinch, resolve to 50-50
• Map-level statistics (Odd/Even total kills, Odd/Even total rounds) resolve based on actual game data; if map not played, canceled, or delayed beyond 7 days, resolve to 50-50; if map not played due to series clinch or forfeit/disqualification/walkover, resolve to 50-50; if map is remade, resolution based on remade game only
• Total combined kills includes all kills across regulation and overtime rounds; team kills and self-inflicted deaths excluded
• Total combined rounds is sum of rounds won by both teams including overtime

Edge cases & Clarifications:

• Match Canceled or Not Played: If match is canceled entirely or delayed beyond 7 days from scheduled date (March 31, 2026) without a winner determined, all markets resolve to 50-50
• Match Begins but Incomplete with Forfeit: If match begins but is not completed and one team wins due to opponent forfeiture/disqualification/walkover, the match outcome market resolves to the winning team; series length and handicap markets resolve to 50-50; individual map and map-stat markets resolve to 50-50 unless that specific map was completed
• Series Clinch Before Map Completion: If series result is determined before a map is played (e.g., team clinches 2-0 before Map 3), that map and all its associated markets (winner, kills, rounds) resolve to 50-50
• Map Remade: If any map is remade, resolution is based on the remade game only, not the original
• Clinching Map Forfeited: If the clinching map is forfeited, the match is still considered completed and the series result stands; the forfeited map's individual markets resolve to 50-50
