Prediction market on polymarket. This market refers to the Valorant match between LOUD and Cloud9 in the VCT Americas Stage 1 Group Alpha, initially scheduled for May 3 at 5:00PM ET. This market will resolve to "Cloud9" if Cloud9 wins 2 or more maps than LOUD in this match. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "LOUD". 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://vlr.gg. However, if https://vlr.gg 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.
