This event group covers a Valorant best-of-five lower bracket final match between Barça eSports and FALKE ESPORTS in the VCL Spain: Rising Phase 1 Playoffs, originally scheduled for April 20, 2026 at 11:00 AM EDT. Markets span individual map winners (Maps 1–4), series outcome, total maps played (O/U 3.5 and 4.5), and map handicaps (±1.5 and ±2.5). Resolution depends on official match completion and final scoreline as reported by vlr.gg.
Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)
Both Polymarket and Kalshi resolve based on the outcome of the match between Barça eSports and FALKE ESPORTS in the VCL Spain: Rising Phase 1 Playoffs, with consistent cancellation/delay rules (7-day threshold) and shared primary resolution source of vlr.gg.
Primary resolution logic:
Official information from https://vlr.gg, with fallback to consensus of credible reporting and video evidence if vlr.gg does not publish results within 2 hours of event conclusion.
Core resolution logic:
Polymarket Map Winner markets (Maps 1-4) resolve to the team that wins the specified map, or 50-50 if that map is not completed.
Polymarket Games Total O/U 3.5 resolves Over if 4+ maps are played, Under if fewer than 4 maps are played.
Polymarket Games Total O/U 4.5 resolves Over if 5+ maps are played, Under if fewer than 5 maps are played.
Polymarket Map Handicap markets resolve based on map differential: BAR (-2.5) wins if Barça wins 3+ more maps; BAR (-1.5) wins if Barça wins 2+ more maps.
Polymarket Match Winner resolves to the team that wins the BO5 series.
Kalshi resolves Yes if either FALKE ESPORTS or Barça eSports wins the match (effectively a tautology covering all non-cancellation outcomes).
All platforms resolve 50-50 if the match is canceled, not played at all, delayed beyond 7 days without play beginning, or ends in a tie.
If the match begins but is not completed, forfeit/disqualification/walkover outcomes are handled per platform-specific rules: Polymarket Map markets resolve 50-50 if the specific map is not completed; Polymarket Match Winner resolves to the winning team if one wins via opponent forfeiture; Kalshi resolves Yes if either team wins via forfeiture.
Edge cases & Clarifications:
Incomplete Map Resolution: If a map begins but is not completed (technical issues, disconnection, etc.), Polymarket Map Winner markets for that map resolve 50-50. Kalshi and Polymarket Match Winner are unaffected if the series continues and completes.
Forfeit/Disqualification During Series: If one team forfeits or is disqualified mid-series, Polymarket Match Winner resolves to the winning team; Polymarket Games Total and Handicap markets resolve 50-50 if the series is incomplete. Kalshi resolves Yes to the winning team.
Clinching Map Forfeited: If the map that clinches the series is forfeited, Polymarket Games Total and Handicap markets count this as a completed match and resolve normally. Polymarket Match Winner resolves to the team that clinches via forfeit.
7-Day Delay Without Play: If the match is delayed beyond 7 days from April 20, 2026 without any play beginning, all markets across both platforms resolve 50-50.
Timing:
Resolution occurs upon official announcement of match results from vlr.gg within 2 hours of event conclusion, or via consensus credible reporting thereafter. Cancellation or 7-day delay threshold is measured from the originally scheduled date of April 20, 2026 at 11:00 AM EDT.
