Valorant: Cloud9 vs Team Envy (BO3) - VCT Americas Stage 1 Group Alpha? Odds & Prediction Markets

Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)

Core resolution logic:

• Match Winner (BO3): Cloud9 or Team Envy resolves based on which team wins the best-of-three series; forfeit/disqualification/walkover before match start resolves 50-50.
• Games Total O/U 2.5: Resolves Over if 3+ maps are played, Under if fewer than 3 maps are played; forfeits/disqualifications/walkovers count if match is completed.
• Map 1 and Map 2 Winners: Resolve based on which team wins the specified map if that map is completed; 50-50 if map is not completed.
• Map Handicap C9 (-1.5): Resolves Cloud9 if Cloud9 wins 2+ more maps than Team Envy; otherwise Team Envy.
• Cancellation, tie, or delay beyond 7 days without winner determined: All markets resolve 50-50.
• Match begins but incomplete with forfeit/disqualification/walkover: Match Winner resolves to winning team; Games Total, Map Winners, and Handicap resolve 50-50 unless the specific map/condition is completed.

Edge cases & Clarifications:

• Clinching Map Forfeited: If the match-clinching map is forfeited, the match is treated as completed for Games Total and Handicap resolution purposes; the forfeiting team loses that map.
• Incomplete Match with Partial Map Completion: If the match begins but is not completed, Map 1 or Map 2 markets resolve based on the completed map result; Match Winner and Games Total resolve 50-50 unless one team wins via opponent forfeit/disqualification/walkover.
• Kalshi Yes/No Scope: Kalshi market resolves Yes if either Team Envy or Cloud9 wins the match (i.e., any decisive outcome); this is logically equivalent to Polymarket's binary winner markets.
