PredictionHero - Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA)

Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)

Both platforms apply identical resolution criteria, primary source (HLTV.org), fallback logic (credible consensus), and edge-case handling across all 11 markets in the group.Primary resolution logic: Official HLTV.org match results; credible reporting consensus (including video evidence) if HLTV.org does not publish within 2 hours of event conclusion.

Core resolution logic:

  • Match winner resolves to the team winning the best-of-3 series; if match is canceled, ends in tie, or delayed beyond 7 days without completion, resolves to 50-50.
  • If match begins but is incomplete and one team wins via opponent forfeiture/disqualification/walkover, resolves to the winning team; if forfeiture occurs before match start, resolves to 50-50.
  • Individual map winners resolve based on the team winning that specific map; if map is not completed for any reason, resolves to 50-50.
  • Map statistics (total rounds and total kills) resolve based on the sum of both teams' contributions in that map, including overtime; if map is not played or series clinches before that map, resolves to 50-50.
  • Map handicap (ALGO -1.5 vs ReThink +1.5) resolves to ALGO if ALGO wins 2+ more maps than ReThink; otherwise resolves to ReThink; forfeits/walkovers count if match is completed.
  • Games total (O/U 2.5) resolves Over if 3+ maps are played, Under if fewer than 3; forfeits/walkovers count if match is completed.
  • Team name discrepancies are resolved by underlying real-world match identity; recognizable abbreviations, alternate spellings, sponsor tags, and minor formatting differences are treated as the same team if uniquely identifiable.

Edge cases & clarifications:

  • Forfeit/Disqualification Timing: If forfeit or disqualification occurs before match start, all markets resolve to 50-50. If it occurs mid-match with a winner determined, match winner and map winners resolve to the winning team; map statistics resolve 50-50 for incomplete maps.
  • Series Clinch Before Map 3: If a team clinches the series before Map 3 is played (e.g., wins 2-0), Map 3 winner, Map 3 rounds parity, and Map 3 kills parity all resolve to 50-50. Games total resolves Under.
  • Map Remake: If a map is remade, resolution is based on the remade game only, not the original.
  • Delay Beyond 7 Days: If the match is delayed beyond 7 days from the scheduled date (May 2, 4:00 AM ET) without a winner determined, all markets resolve to 50-50.
  • No Kills Recorded in Map: If a map is played but no kills are recorded (extremely unlikely in CS), that map's kills parity market resolves to 50-50.
Timing: Resolution occurs upon official publication of match results on HLTV.org or within 2 hours after event conclusion via credible consensus. Markets remain open until the match is completed or the 7-day delay threshold is exceeded.Our PredictionHero Resolution Divergence Alerts (RDA) are there to help users identify potential differences across platforms.

Polymarket

This market refers to the Counter-Strike Upper bracket semifinal 1 match between ReThink and ALGO Esports in the United21 Playoffs, initially scheduled for May 2 at 4:00AM ET. This market will resolve to "ReThink" if ReThink win the match against ALGO Esports. This market will resolve to "ALGO Esports" if ALGO Esports win the match against ReThink. If the match is canceled (not played at all), 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 forfeiture, disqualification, or walkover, this market will resolve to the team who wins. If the match ends in a forfeit, disqualification, or walkover (team withdraws before the start and the other wins automatically), this market will resolve to 50-50. The resolution source for this market will be official information from https://hltv.org. However, if https://hltv.org has not published final results within 2 hours after the event’s conclusion, a consensus of credible reporting may be used instead including video evidence. In cases where a team’s listed name includes minor discrepancies from the resolution source, this market will resolve based on the underlying real-world match rather than exact name matching. Recognizable abbreviations, alternate or erroneous spellings, sponsor tags, affiliate or academy designations, regional identifiers, and minor formatting differences will be treated as referring to the same team, provided the intended team can be clearly and uniquely identified within the relevant competition. If a listed team name has no reasonable connection to any participating team, or if it matches or could reasonably refer to another team in the same competition such that the intended team cannot be unambiguously determined, this market will resolve 50-50.
