Counter-Strike: ex-RUBY vs Acend (BO3) - CCT Europe Series #17 Group Stage

Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)

Core resolution logic:

• Match winner (ex-RUBY vs Acend) resolves to the team that wins the best-of-3 series
• Map 1 and Map 2 winners resolve based on the team that wins each individual map, provided the map is completed
• Games Total (Over/Under 2.5) resolves to Over if 3 or more maps are played, Under if fewer than 3 maps are played
• Map Handicap (ex-RUBY -1.5 vs Acend +1.5) resolves to ex-RUBY if they win 2 or more maps than Acend; otherwise resolves to Acend
• Maps won by forfeit, disqualification, walkover, or default count toward totals and handicaps if the match is completed
• If match is canceled (not played at all), delayed beyond 7 days without play beginning, or ends in a tie, all markets resolve 50-50
• If match begins but is not completed and one team wins due to opponent forfeiture/disqualification/walkover before the clinching map, match winner and map handicap resolve 50-50; if the clinching map is forfeited, the match counts as completed
• Individual map markets (Map 1, Map 2) resolve 50-50 if the map is not completed for any reason

Edge cases & Clarifications:

• Incomplete match with completed map: If the match begins but is not completed, individual map markets resolve based on the completed map result. However, the match winner and map handicap markets resolve 50-50 unless the opponent forfeits after the clinching map is won.
• Forfeit on clinching map: If the match ends due to the clinching map being forfeited, this counts as a completed match for Games Total and Map Handicap purposes, but the match winner resolves 50-50 per Polymarket rules.
• Cancellation or extended delay: If the match is canceled (not played at all) or delayed beyond 7 days from the scheduled date without play beginning, all markets resolve 50-50.
• Tie or no winner determined: If the match ends in a tie or no winner is determined within 7 days, all markets resolve 50-50.
• Source publication delay: If HLTV.org does not publish final results within 2 hours after event conclusion, resolution may be based on consensus of credible reporting including video evidence.
