This market resolves around Jul 8, 2026, once the Map 3 result is finalized and verifiable from credible public sources. The outcome is determined by which team wins the third map in the T1 vs. G2 Esports match. Traders holding shares in the winning outcome receive their payout, while losing positions expire worthless. Resolution typically occurs shortly after the match concludes and the result is officially confirmed.

Several factors could shift this market before resolution. Roster announcements or unexpected player substitutions can significantly alter perceived team strength. Recent tournament results, scrim performance leaks, or public statements from coaches and players often influence trader sentiment. Meta shifts in the game itself—balance patches or map-specific strategy developments—may favor one team over the other. Additionally, injury reports or personal circumstances affecting key players, along with real-time momentum during earlier maps in the series, could trigger substantial repricing as traders update their expectations.
