Counter-Strike: Heroic vs NRG (BO3) - ESL Pro League Stage 1

Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)

Core resolution logic:

• Match winner (Heroic vs NRG) resolves to the team winning 2 maps in the best-of-three; forfeiture/disqualification/walkover before match start resolves to 50-50.
• Individual map winners (Map 1, Map 2) resolve based on the team winning that specific map if completed; 50-50 if map is not completed for any reason.
• Total maps played (Over/Under 2.5) resolves Over if 3+ maps are played, Under if fewer than 3; forfeiture/disqualification/walkover before clinching map resolves to 50-50.
• Map handicaps (NRG -1.5 and Heroic -1.5) resolve based on the margin of maps won; forfeiture/disqualification/walkover before clinching resolves to 50-50.
• Match cancellation, no-play, tie, or delay beyond 7 days without play beginning triggers 50-50 resolution across all markets.
• Forfeits/disqualifications/walkovers count toward totals and handicaps only if the match is completed; incomplete matches with forfeiture resolve to 50-50.

Edge cases & Clarifications:

• Incomplete match with forfeiture before clinching: If the match begins but is not completed, and one team wins due to opponent forfeiture/disqualification/walkover before the clinching map, total maps and handicap markets resolve to 50-50; match winner resolves to the team that won. Individual map markets resolve based on completed maps only.
• Clinching map forfeited: If the match ends due to the clinching map being forfeited, this counts as a completed match and all markets resolve normally based on the final map count and winner.
• HLTV.org reporting delay: If HLTV.org does not publish final results within 2 hours after event conclusion, credible consensus reporting (including video evidence) may be used as resolution source.
• Match cancellation or 7-day delay: If the match is canceled (not played at all) or delayed beyond 7 days from March 1, 2026 scheduled date without play beginning, all markets resolve to 50-50.
• Incomplete individual map: If a specific map (Map 1 or Map 2) is not completed for any reason, that map's market resolves to 50-50 regardless of overall match status.
