Prediction market on polymarket. This market refers to the Counter-Strike Round 1 match between HAVENs and Nebula In Chaox in the Exort Series Main Stage, initially scheduled for April 16 at 2:30PM ET. This market will resolve to "Nebula In Chaox" if Nebula In Chaox wins 2 or more maps than HAVENs in this match. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "HAVENs". 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), ends in a tie, or is delayed beyond 7 days from the scheduled date without a winner determined, this market will resolve to 50-50. 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.
