Counter-Strike: TheMongolz vs Natus Vincere (BO3) - ESL Pro League Playoffs

Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)

Core resolution logic:

• Match winner resolves to the team that wins the best-of-3 series; if match is canceled, ends in a tie, or is delayed beyond 7 days without a winner, resolves 50-50.
• If match begins but is not completed and one team wins due to opponent forfeiture, disqualification, or walkover, resolves 50-50 (exception: if clinching map is forfeited, match counts as completed).
• Maps won by forfeit, disqualification, walkover, or default count toward series total and handicap calculations, provided the match is completed.
• Map-specific markets (Map 1/2/3 winner, kills, rounds) resolve 50-50 if the map is not played due to series clinch, forfeit, disqualification, walkover, cancellation, or delay beyond 7 days.
• Total kills include all kills across regulation and overtime rounds; team kills and self-inflicted deaths do not count.
• Total rounds equal the sum of rounds won by both teams, including overtime.
• If a map is remade, resolution is based on the remade game only.
• Series total (over/under 2.5 maps) resolves Over if 3+ maps are played; Under if fewer than 3 maps are played; 50-50 if match is canceled, tied, delayed beyond 7 days, or incomplete with forfeiture.

Edge cases & Clarifications:

• Clinching map forfeiture: If the clinching map (e.g., Map 3 in a 2-0 series lead) is forfeited, the match counts as completed and the series result stands. Map-specific markets for that forfeited map resolve 50-50.
• Series already determined: If a team clinches the series before Map 2 or Map 3 is needed (e.g., 2-0 lead), those unplayed maps resolve 50-50 for all map-specific markets.
• Incomplete match with forfeiture: If the match begins but is not completed and one team wins due to opponent forfeiture, disqualification, or walkover, match winner resolves 50-50; however, any completed maps resolve based on their actual results.
• Delay beyond 7 days: If the match is delayed beyond 7 days from the scheduled date (March 13, 2026) without a winner determined, all markets resolve 50-50.
• Map remake: If a map is remade, all statistics and winner determination for that map use only the remade game data; previous versions are disregarded.
