This event group covers a Valorant best-of-three match between UCAM Esports Club and Mandatory in the VCL EMEA Playoffs Upper Bracket Semifinal, originally scheduled for March 26, 2026 at 12:00 PM ET. Markets span match winner, individual map winners (Map 1 and Map 2), map handicaps, and total maps played across Polymarket and Kalshi platforms.
Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)
All Polymarket markets and the Kalshi match-winner market apply identical resolution logic: official vlr.gg source, 2-hour fallback window, 7-day cancellation threshold, 50-50 for incomplete/forfeited/tied outcomes, and counting of forfeit/disqualification maps toward match totals.
Primary resolution logic:
Official VCL EMEA results from vlr.gg; credible reporting and video evidence if vlr.gg unavailable within 2 hours of match conclusion
Core resolution logic:
Match winner resolves to the team winning the best-of-three series (first to 2 maps)
Individual map winners (Map 1, Map 2) resolve based on the team winning that specific map, provided the map is completed
Map handicap markets resolve based on the margin of maps won: Mandatory (-1.5) wins if Mandatory wins 2+ more maps; UCAM (-1.5) wins if UCAM wins 2+ more maps
Total maps (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 all calculations if the match is completed
If match is canceled, ends in a tie, or delayed beyond 7 days without play beginning, all markets resolve 50-50
If match begins but is incomplete and one team wins by opponent forfeiture/disqualification/walkover mid-match, that team is credited; if forfeiture occurs before match start, resolution is 50-50
If a map is not completed for any reason, that map-specific market resolves 50-50
Edge cases & Clarifications:
Incomplete match with mid-match forfeit: If the match begins but is not completed and one team wins due to opponent forfeiture, disqualification, or walkover during play, the winning team is credited. However, for map-specific markets (Map 1, Map 2), only completed maps count; incomplete maps resolve 50-50.
Pre-match forfeit or walkover: If the match is forfeited, disqualified, or walked before the start (team withdraws and opponent wins automatically), all markets resolve 50-50.
Clinching map forfeited: If the match ends due to the clinching map being forfeited, this counts as a completed match and the forfeiting team loses; the winning team is credited.
Delay beyond 7 days: If the match is delayed beyond 7 days from the scheduled date (March 26, 2026) without play beginning, all markets resolve 50-50.
VLR.GG publication delay: If vlr.gg does not publish final results within 2 hours after the match concludes, a consensus of credible reporting and video evidence may be used as the resolution source.
Timing:
Resolution occurs upon match completion and official publication of results by vlr.gg or credible reporting sources within 2 hours of match conclusion. If the match is not played by 7 days after the scheduled date (March 26, 2026), automatic 50-50 resolution is triggered.
