Counter-Strike: Vitality vs Team Falcons (BO3) - IEM Rio Group A

Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)

Core resolution logic:

• Match winner (Polymarket) resolves to the team that wins the BO3 series; forfeits/walkovers/disqualifications before match start resolve 50-50, but forfeits/walkovers during or after match start resolve to the winning team.
• Series total maps (Kalshi 'Over 2.5' / Polymarket 'Games Total O/U 2.5') resolves Over/Yes if 3 or more maps are played; Under/No if fewer than 3 maps are played. Forfeits/walkovers/defaults count if match is completed.
• Map handicap markets (VIT -1.5 / FAL -1.5) resolve based on map differential: Vitality wins if Vitality wins 2+ more maps than Team Falcons; Team Falcons wins if Team Falcons wins 2+ more maps than Vitality. Forfeited/defaulted maps count toward the differential if match is completed.
• Individual map winners (Map 1, Map 2) resolve to the team that wins that specific map; if the map is not completed for any reason, resolves 50-50.
• Odd/Even Total Kills (Map 1, 2, 3) resolves Odd if combined kills across both teams is odd, Even if even. Team kills and self-inflicted deaths do not count. If map is not played or not completed, resolves 50-50.
• Odd/Even Total Rounds (Map 1, 2, 3) resolves Odd if combined rounds won by both teams is odd, Even if even. If map is not played or not completed, resolves 50-50.
• All markets resolve 50-50 if: match is canceled entirely, match is delayed beyond 7 days from scheduled date without play beginning or completion, match ends in a tie, or match begins but is not completed due to forfeit/disqualification/walkover (except map winner and series winner markets, which resolve to the winning team if the match is completed).
• If a map is remade, resolution is based on the remade game only.

Edge cases & Clarifications:

• Clinching Map Forfeited: If the match ends due to the clinching map being forfeited (e.g., Team A wins 2-0, but Map 3 is forfeited), this counts as a completed match for series and handicap markets. Map 3 specific markets (winner, kills, rounds) resolve 50-50 if Map 3 is not played.
• Match Begins But Not Completed: If the match begins but is not completed, and one team wins due to opponent forfeiture/disqualification/walkover: the match winner market resolves to the winning team, but series total maps and handicap markets resolve 50-50. Individual map markets resolve based on completed maps only.
• 7-Day Delay Threshold: If the match is delayed beyond 7 days from the scheduled date (April 15, 2026 at 2:00 PM EDT) without a winner determined or play beginning, all markets resolve 50-50.
• Team Name Discrepancies: Minor name discrepancies (abbreviations, sponsor tags, regional identifiers, formatting differences) are treated as referring to the same team, provided the intended team can be clearly identified. If a listed name has no reasonable connection to any participating team or could refer to multiple teams ambiguously, the market resolves 50-50.
• HLTV Publication Delay: If HLTV.org has not published final results within 2 hours after the event's conclusion, a consensus of credible reporting (including video evidence) may be used as the resolution source instead.
