Frequently asked questions

The market resolves after the IEM Cologne Major 2026 Grand Final concludes on Jun 22, 2026. Resolution depends on the actual match result: whether the winning team takes the series without losing a single map to their opponent. The outcome is determined by the official tournament broadcast and results, with no ambiguity in what constitutes a sweep in best-of-three or best-of-five Grand Final format. Once the match concludes and the final scoreline is confirmed, the market settles based on whether that result matches the sweep condition.

Several factors could shift odds before the Grand Final. Major roster changes or player transfers among top teams alter perceived dominance and sweep likelihood. Performance at other international tournaments in early 2026 provides form signals that traders incorporate. Meta-game shifts from game updates can favor certain teams' playstyles, affecting their perceived ability to dominate a series. Injury or availability news about key players impacts team strength. Scrim results and leaked practice footage circulating in the community influence trader sentiment. As the tournament draws closer and bracket results emerge, odds will adjust based on which teams actually reach the Grand Final and their demonstrated form in Cologne.
