Dota 2: Team Yandex vs Yakutou Brothers (BO2) - ESL One Birmingham Group A

Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)

Core resolution logic:

• Match outcome (Kalshi): Resolves Yes if any result occurs (Team Yandex win, Yakutou Brothers win, or tie). Resolves No only if match is canceled or forfeited before play.
• Match winner (Polymarket): Resolves to winning team name if match completes. Resolves 50-50 if canceled, delayed beyond 7 days without play, or ends in forfeit/disqualification before start.
• Individual game winners: Resolve to winning team if game completes. Resolve 50-50 if game never played, canceled, delayed beyond 7 days, or forfeited.
• In-game statistics (kills, barracks, Roshan, rampages, ultra kills): Resolve Yes/No based on completion of specified condition during the game. Resolve 50-50 if game canceled, delayed beyond 7 days, never played, or forfeited before condition could occur.
• Day/night cycle timing: Resolves Yes if game ends during daytime phase (0:00-5:00, 10:00-15:00, 20:00-25:00, etc. in-game clock). Resolves No if ends during nighttime. Resolves 50-50 if game canceled, delayed, or never played.
• First blood: Resolves to team securing first blood if game completes and first blood occurs. Resolves 50-50 if game canceled, delayed, never played, forfeited, or first blood never occurs.
• Forfeit/walkover/disqualification before start: Resolves 50-50 for all markets (Polymarket explicit; Kalshi implicit via tie/win acceptance).
• Incomplete games with forfeit mid-play: In-game stat markets resolve based on condition status at stoppage; winner markets resolve to forfeiting team if opponent wins by default.

Edge cases & Clarifications:

• Series clinch before Game 2: If Team Yandex or Yakutou Brothers wins Game 1 and the series format allows early termination, Game 2 markets resolve 50-50 (not played because series result determined).
• Game remake: Resolution based on remade game only; prior game data discarded. First blood exception: if first blood occurred before remake, resolves to that team; if not, resolves based on remade game.
• Delay beyond 7 days without play: All markets resolve 50-50 if match delayed beyond 7 days from scheduled date (March 22, 2026) without any play beginning.
• Temporary ability effects vs base day/night cycle: Day/night resolution uses only base in-game clock timer, not temporary nighttime from hero abilities (e.g., Night Stalker's Dark Ascension).
• First blood never occurs: If game completes but no first blood event recorded, first blood markets resolve 50-50.
