How this market resolves

This market refers to the Counter-Strike match between Inner Circle Academy and ex-Sashi Academy in the CCT Europe Closed Qualifier: Series #7 Group D, initially scheduled for August 14, 2026 at 10:15 AM ET. This market is decided solely by the round score of Map 1 of this match, and is independent of which team wins Map 1 or the overall match. This market will resolve to "Inner Circle Academy" if Inner Circle Academy wins Map 1 by 7 or more rounds, including any overtime (i.e. Inner Circle Academy's round total on Map 1 exceeds ex-Sashi Academy's by 7 or more). Otherwise, this market will resolve to "ex-Sashi Academy". Map 1 must be played to completion, with a final round score determined by rounds actually played, for this market to resolve to a team. If Map 1 is completed in this way, the market resolves on that round score regardless of how the remainder of the match concludes (including any later forfeit, disqualification, walkover, or default). If Map 1 is not played at all, is not played to completion, or is decided by forfeit, disqualification, walkover, or default rather than by rounds played to a conclusion, this market will resolve 50-50. If the match is canceled, this market will resolve 50-50. If the match is postponed, it must be rescheduled to a start time on or before August 28, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET (14 calendar days after the originally scheduled start of August 14, 2026 at 10:15 AM ET). If, by that deadline, the most recently announced rescheduled start time is on or before the deadline, this market resolves based on the result of the match as played. Otherwise, this market resolves 50-50, regardless of whether the match is subsequently played. The resolution source for this market will be official information from https://hltv.org. However, if https://hltv.org has not published final results within 2 hours after the event's conclusion, a consensus of credible reporting may be used instead, including video evidence.
