Valorant: M80 vs Team Evictix (BO3) - VCL North America Playoffs

Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)

Core resolution logic:

• Match winner resolves to the team that wins the best-of-three series (first to 2 maps).
• Individual map winners resolve only if that specific map is completed; incomplete maps resolve to 50-50.
• Total maps (O/U 2.5) resolves Over if 3+ maps are played, Under if fewer than 3 maps are played; forfeited/walkover maps count toward the total if the match is completed.
• Map handicap (M80 -1.5) resolves to M80 if M80 wins 2+ more maps than Team Evictix; otherwise resolves to Team Evictix; forfeited/walkover maps count toward the handicap if the match is completed.
• Match cancellation (not played at all), no-play beyond 7 days without a winner, or pre-match forfeiture/walkover resolves to 50-50 (Polymarket) or No (Kalshi).
• Mid-series forfeiture, disqualification, or walkover (one team wins due to opponent withdrawal after play has begun) resolves to the winning team for match and derivative markets.
• If the clinching map is forfeited, the match is considered completed and resolves to the team that clinched.

Edge cases & Clarifications:

• Match begins but not completed (mid-series forfeiture): If one team forfeits, is disqualified, or walks out after play has begun, the match resolves to the team that wins. Individual map markets resolve based on completed maps only; incomplete maps resolve to 50-50. Total maps and handicap markets resolve to 50-50 per Polymarket rules.
• Pre-match forfeiture or walkover: If the match is forfeited before play begins (team withdraws, disqualified pre-match, or automatic loss), all markets resolve to 50-50 (Polymarket) or No (Kalshi).
• Match delayed beyond 7 days without winner: If the match is postponed and not completed within 7 days of the scheduled date (Feb 18, 2026), all markets resolve to 50-50 (Polymarket) or No (Kalshi).
• Clinching map forfeited: If the map that clinches the series (e.g., Map 3 in a 2-1 scenario) is forfeited, the match is considered completed and resolves to the team that clinched. The forfeited map counts toward total maps and handicap calculations.
• vlr.gg data unavailable: If vlr.gg does not publish final results within 12 hours of match conclusion, resolution falls back to consensus of credible reporting (news, official team statements, broadcast archives) and video evidence.
