How this market resolves

This market refers to the Counter-Strike Lower bracket round 3 match between ex-Sashi Academy and Noir Verse in the CCT Europe Challengers Series Playoffs, initially scheduled for August 20, 2026 at 7:00 AM ET. This market will resolve to "Noir Verse" if Noir Verse wins 2 or more maps than ex-Sashi Academy in this match. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "ex-Sashi Academy". Maps won by forfeit, disqualification, walkover, or default are counted towards the handicap, provided that the match is completed. If the match is canceled (not played at all for any reason) or ends in a tie, this market will resolve to 50-50. If the match is postponed, it must be rescheduled to a start time on or before September 3, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET (14 calendar days after the originally scheduled start of August 20, 2026 at 7:00 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. If the match begins but is not completed, and one team wins due to the opponent's match forfeiture, disqualification, or walkover, this market will resolve to 50-50. If the match ends due to the clinching map being forfeited this will count as a completed match. 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.
