This event group covers a Counter-Strike Best-of-3 match between K27 and Johnny Speeds in the European Pro League Series 5 Playoffs Quarterfinals, scheduled for March 7, 2026 at 4:00 AM ET. Markets span match winner, individual map winners, series length, map handicap, and granular statistics (kills and rounds per map).
Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)
Kalshi and Polymarket share identical resolution logic for match completion, source authority, edge case handling, and 50-50 tie-breaking rules.
Primary resolution logic:
HLTV.org (official); credible reporting consensus with video evidence if HLTV unavailable within 2 hours of event conclusion
Core resolution logic:
Match winner resolves to the team that wins the best-of-3 series (first to 2 maps)
Individual map winners resolve based on the team that wins that specific map, provided the map is completed
Series length (Over/Under 2.5 maps) resolves Over if 3 or more maps are played, Under if fewer than 3 maps are played
Map handicap (K27 -1.5 vs Johnny Speeds +1.5) resolves to K27 if K27 wins 2 or more maps than Johnny Speeds; otherwise Johnny Speeds
Forfeits, disqualifications, walkovers, and defaults count as completed maps toward series totals if the series is clinched
Map-specific statistics (kills and rounds) resolve based on the completed map data, including overtime rounds
Edge cases & Clarifications:
Match Canceled or Not Played: If the match is canceled entirely, not played at all, or delayed beyond 7 days from March 7, 2026 without play beginning, all markets resolve 50-50
Match Begins but Incomplete with No Winner: If the match begins but is not completed and no team wins via forfeit, disqualification, or walkover, all markets resolve 50-50
Forfeit/Disqualification Before Match Starts: If a team forfeits, is disqualified, or walks away before the match begins (opponent wins automatically), match winner and series-level markets resolve 50-50
Forfeit/Disqualification During Series: If a team forfeits or is disqualified after the match has begun and one team clinches the series, that team is declared the winner. Series length and map handicap count the forfeited map as completed
Map Not Played Due to Series Already Decided: If Map 2 or Map 3 is not played because the series result is already determined (e.g., one team wins 2-0), all markets specific to that map resolve 50-50
Map Statistics with No Kills or Rounds: If a map is played but no kills are recorded, or if a map is remade, resolution is based on the actual completed or remade game data. If a map is never played, statistics markets resolve 50-50
Tie or Draw: If the match ends in a tie or draw, all markets resolve 50-50
Timing:
Resolution occurs within 2 hours after the match concludes on March 7, 2026 (or the rescheduled date if delayed within 7 days). If HLTV.org has not published final results within 2 hours, credible reporting consensus with video evidence is used. Markets remain open until official resolution is confirmed.
