Valorant: MIBR vs LOUD (BO3) - VCT Americas Stage 1 Group Alpha

Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)

Core resolution logic:

• Match Winner (BO3): Resolves to the team that wins the best-of-three series. If match is forfeited before play begins, resolves 50-50. If match begins but is incomplete and one team wins by opponent forfeiture/disqualification/walkover, resolves to the winning team. If canceled, ends in tie, or delayed beyond 7 days without play beginning, resolves 50-50.
• Map 1 Winner: Resolves to the team that wins Map 1. If Map 1 is not completed, resolves 50-50. If match is canceled or delayed beyond 7 days without play beginning, resolves 50-50.
• Map 2 Winner: Resolves to the team that wins Map 2. If Map 2 is not completed, resolves 50-50. If match is canceled or delayed beyond 7 days without play beginning, resolves 50-50.
• Games Total O/U 2.5: Resolves Over if 3 or more maps are played; Under if fewer than 3 maps are played. Maps won by forfeit, disqualification, walkover, or default count toward the total if match is completed. If match is canceled, ends in tie, delayed beyond 7 days without winner determined, or begins but incomplete with forfeiture/disqualification/walkover, resolves 50-50. If clinching map is forfeited, counts as completed match.
• Map Handicap MIBR (-1.5) vs LOUD (+1.5): Resolves to MIBR if MIBR wins 2 or more maps than LOUD; otherwise resolves to LOUD. Maps won by forfeit, disqualification, walkover, or default count toward handicap if match is completed. If match is canceled, ends in tie, delayed beyond 7 days without winner determined, or begins but incomplete with forfeiture/disqualification/walkover, resolves 50-50. If clinching map is forfeited, counts as completed match.

Edge cases & Clarifications:

• Incomplete Match with Forfeiture: If the match begins but is not completed, and one team wins due to opponent forfeiture, disqualification, or walkover, the Match Winner market resolves to the winning team. However, Games Total O/U 2.5 and Map Handicap markets resolve 50-50 in this scenario.
• Clinching Map Forfeiture: If the match ends due to the clinching map being forfeited (e.g., one team forfeits Map 3 when series is 1-1), this counts as a completed match and all markets resolve based on the final series outcome.
• 7-Day Delay Threshold: If the match is delayed beyond 7 days from the scheduled date (April 18, 2026 at 8:00 PM EDT) without play beginning, all markets resolve 50-50.
• Team Name Discrepancies: Minor discrepancies in team names (abbreviations, alternate spellings, sponsor tags, regional identifiers, formatting differences) are treated as referring to the same team provided the intended team can be clearly and uniquely identified. If a listed team name has no reasonable connection to any participating team or could refer to another team in the same competition, the market resolves 50-50.
