Counter-Strike: Spirit vs Liquid (BO3) - IEM Rio Group A

Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)

Core resolution logic:

• The match is a best-of-3 (BO3) series between Spirit and Liquid scheduled for April 13, 2026 at 10:00 AM ET (Polymarket) / 11:30 AM EDT (Kalshi).
• If the match is played and completed with a winner determined, all markets resolve based on the actual match outcome (maps played, map winners, round totals, kill totals).
• If the match is canceled entirely or delayed beyond 7 days from the scheduled date without play beginning, all markets resolve 50-50.
• If the match begins but is not completed: (a) if a map is concluded with a winner, map-specific markets resolve based on that completed map; (b) if a team wins due to opponent forfeiture/disqualification/walkover before series completion, the series outcome market resolves 50-50, but the series total maps market also resolves 50-50; (c) if the clinching map is forfeited, the match counts as completed and series outcome resolves to the winning team.
• Maps won by forfeit, disqualification, walkover, or default count toward map totals and handicap calculations, provided the match is completed.
• If the match ends in a tie or the series result cannot be determined, all markets resolve 50-50.
• For map-specific markets (Map 1/2/3 winner, odd/even rounds, odd/even kills): if the map is not played due to series clinch, forfeit, or cancellation, that market resolves 50-50.
• For the Games Total O/U 2.5 market (Kalshi) and Map Handicap market (Polymarket): both resolve based on the total number of maps played in the completed series.

Edge cases & Clarifications:

• Clinching Map Forfeiture: If the match ends because the clinching map (e.g., Map 3 in a 1-1 series) is forfeited by one team, the match counts as completed and resolves to the non-forfeiting team. Series total maps and handicap markets resolve based on the number of maps played before the forfeit.
• Incomplete Series with Partial Forfeiture: If the match begins, one team wins 1-0 on maps, and then the opponent forfeits the remaining maps before series completion, the series outcome market resolves 50-50, but the Games Total / Map Handicap markets also resolve 50-50 because the match was not completed with a winner determined.
• Map Remakes: If any map is remade, resolution is based on the remade game only. The original map result is disregarded.
• No Kills or Zero Rounds Recorded: If a map is played but no kills are recorded, the odd/even kills market for that map resolves 50-50. If a map is played but zero rounds are recorded (logically impossible in CS2 but covered by rules), the odd/even rounds market resolves 50-50.
• 7-Day Delay Without Play Beginning: If the match is delayed beyond 7 days from April 13, 2026 and play has not begun by that deadline, all markets resolve 50-50 regardless of whether the match eventually occurs.
