Valorant: FunPlus Phoenix vs Nova Esports (BO3) - China Evolution Series Act 1 Playoffs

Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)

Core resolution logic:

• Match winner resolves to the team that wins 2 maps in the best-of-three series.
• Individual map winners resolve based on the team that wins each completed map.
• Total maps (O/U 2.5) resolves Over if 3 or more maps are played, Under if fewer than 3 maps are played.
• Map handicap (FPX -1.5 vs Nova +1.5) resolves to FunPlus Phoenix if they win 2 or more maps than Nova Esports; otherwise resolves to Nova Esports.
• Maps won by forfeit, disqualification, walkover, or default count toward totals and handicaps if the match is completed.
• If the clinching map is forfeited, the match is counted as completed.

Edge cases & Clarifications:

• Match Canceled or Not Played: If the match is canceled entirely or not played at all, all markets resolve to 50-50.
• Delay Beyond 7 Days Without Winner: If the match is delayed beyond 7 days from the scheduled date (March 17, 2026) without a winner determined, all markets resolve to 50-50.
• Forfeit/Disqualification Before Match Start: If a team forfeits, is disqualified, or withdraws before the match begins and the opponent wins automatically, all markets resolve to 50-50.
• Match Begins But Not Completed (Mid-Match Forfeit): If the match begins but is not completed and one team wins due to opponent forfeiture, disqualification, or walkover mid-series, the match winner market resolves to the winning team; however, total maps and handicap markets resolve to 50-50. Individual map markets resolve based on completed maps only.
• Incomplete Individual Map: If a map begins but is not completed for any reason, that map's market resolves to 50-50.
