Counter-Strike: Vitality vs Natus Vincere (BO3) - IEM Rio Playoffs

Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)

Core resolution logic:

• Series Winner (Polymarket): Resolves to the team winning the best-of-3 match; resolves 50-50 if canceled, ends in tie, delayed beyond 7 days without completion, or ends in forfeit/disqualification/walkover before play begins.
• Games Total O/U 2.5 (Kalshi & Polymarket): Resolves Over if 3+ maps are played; resolves Under if fewer than 3 maps are played; resolves 50-50 if canceled, ends in tie, delayed beyond 7 days without completion, or match begins but is not completed due to mid-series forfeit/disqualification.
• Map Winner Markets (Map 1, Map 2): Resolve to the team winning that specific map if completed; resolve 50-50 if map is not completed, canceled, delayed beyond 7 days, or never played due to forfeit/walkover/series clinch.
• Map Odd/Even Kills (Map 1, Map 2, Map 3): Resolve Odd/Even based on total combined kills (excluding team kills and self-inflicted deaths); resolve 50-50 if map is not played, canceled, delayed beyond 7 days, or never played due to forfeit/walkover/series clinch.
• Map Odd/Even Rounds (Map 1, Map 2, Map 3): Resolve Odd/Even based on total combined rounds won by both teams (including overtime); resolve 50-50 if map is not played, canceled, delayed beyond 7 days, or never played due to forfeit/walkover/series clinch.
• Map Handicap VIT (-1.5): Resolves to Vitality if Vitality wins 2+ more maps than Natus Vincere; otherwise resolves to Natus Vincere; resolves 50-50 if canceled, ends in tie, delayed beyond 7 days without completion, or match begins but is not completed due to mid-series forfeit/disqualification.
• Forfeit/Walkover/Disqualification: If match ends due to clinching map being forfeited, it counts as a completed match for series resolution; if match begins but is not completed and one team wins by opponent forfeiture/disqualification/walkover, series resolves 50-50; if match ends in forfeit/disqualification/walkover before play begins, series resolves 50-50.
• Map Remakes: If any map is remade, resolution is based on the remade game only.

Edge cases & Clarifications:

• Clinching Map Forfeit: If the series-clinching map (e.g., Map 3 in a 1-1 series) is forfeited by one team, the match is considered completed and the forfeiting team loses; series and handicap markets resolve accordingly, not 50-50.
• Mid-Series Incomplete Forfeiture: If the match begins but is not completed and one team wins by opponent forfeiture/disqualification/walkover before the series is clinched (e.g., after Map 1 only), series and handicap markets resolve 50-50; map-specific markets resolve based on completed maps only.
• Map Not Played Due to Series Clinch: If a map is not played because the series result has already been determined (e.g., a team clinches 2-0 before Map 3), all markets for that map (winner, kills, rounds) resolve 50-50.
• 7-Day Delay Without Play: If the match is delayed beyond 7 days from the scheduled date (April 17, 2:15 PM ET) without play beginning, all markets resolve 50-50.
• HLTV Publication Delay: If HLTV.org does not publish final results within 2 hours after event conclusion, resolution defaults to consensus of credible reporting and video evidence.
