About This Event
This market refers to the Counter-Strike Winners match between BIG Academy and XI Esport in the European Pro League Regular Group A, initially scheduled for April 21 at 6:30AM ET. This market will resolve to "BIG Academy" if BIG Academy win the match against XI Esport. This market will resolve to "XI Esport" if XI Esport win the match against BIG Academy. If the match is canceled (not played at all), 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 forfeiture, disqualification, or walkover, this market will resolve to the team who wins. If the match ends in a forfeit, disqualification, or walkover (team withdraws before the start and the other wins automatically), this market will resolve to 50-50. 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. In cases where a team’s listed name includes minor discrepancies from the resolution source, this market will resolve based on the underlying real-world match rather than exact name matching. Recognizable abbreviations, alternate or erroneous spellings, sponsor tags, affiliate or academy designations, regional identifiers, and minor formatting differences will be treated as referring to the same team, provided the intended team can be clearly and uniquely identified within the relevant competition. If a listed team name has no reasonable connection to any participating team, or if it matches or could reasonably refer to another team in the same competition such that the intended team cannot be unambiguously determined, this market will resolve 50-50.

What the contract measures
The supplied provider event covers the Counter-Strike match between BIG Academy and XI Esport in the European Pro League Regular Group A [1]. The saved markets are not match-winner markets. They are two separate contracts, "Map 1: Odd/Even Total Kills?" and "Map 2: Odd/Even Total Kills?", each with Odd and Even outcomes [1]. The excerpt does not reproduce the settlement wording for these odd and even contracts, so their exact resolution terms cannot be checked from this evidence.
The event's winner rules are the only resolution text supplied. They state that the market "will resolve to 'BIG Academy' if BIG Academy win the match against XI Esport" [1]. The resolution source is official information from HLTV, but a consensus of credible reporting may be used if HLTV has not published final results within 2 hours after the event's conclusion [1]. The rules also provide for a 50-50 resolution if the match is canceled, ends in a tie, or is delayed beyond 7 days from the scheduled date without a winner [1]. The text mentions the match being "initially scheduled for April 21 at 6:30AM ET" [1]. That is rule wording, not evidence that the match took place on that date.
Reading the snapshot
The provider observation time is 2026-10-15T21:00:05.939Z, and the source was retrieved at 2026-10-15T23:09:40.776Z [1]. In this snapshot, both Odd and Even are priced at 0.5 in each map [1]. These are snapshot prices, not executable quotes or verified probabilities. Because the two outcomes in each map have equal prices, the snapshot shows no difference between the sides for either contract. The evidence does not explain why the prices are equal, and it contains no volume or liquidity figures.
The sample covers 2 of 2 saved markets for this event on Polymarket, and the partial-sample flag is false [1]. The selection note states that counts describe the saved provider event, not the whole real-world field [1]. The two maps should not be combined into a single forecast, and they should not be compared with markets from other events.
The listed end time is 2026-04-29T03:59:00.000Z, and the status was "active" at observation [1]. That listed time is earlier than the request date of 2026-10-15, so readers should check the provider's current status rather than assume these contracts are open today.
What remains uncertain
The supplied evidence does not show whether the match was played, its result, whether HLTV published final results, or how the odd and even contracts settled. It also contains no trader count, no information about why prices sit at 0.5, and no current quote. Identical prices on two separate contracts are not an arbitrage signal, and the snapshot should not be read as a current or executable market price.

Overview
PredictPedia's saved record covers a Counter-Strike best-of-three match between BIG Academy and XI Esport in the European Pro League Regular Group A, listed on Polymarket [1]. The event is categorized as Sports. The rules describe the match as a Counter-Strike Winners match that was initially scheduled for April 21 at 6:30AM ET [1]. That date appears in the rules text and is not evidence of when the match was played or of any new announcement. The event page lists a match-winner contract that resolves to whichever team wins the match [1]. The rules also set out outcomes that do not produce a winner. If the match is canceled, ends in a tie, or is delayed beyond 7 days from the scheduled date without a winner determined, the market resolves 50-50 [1]. A forfeit, disqualification, or walkover before the start also resolves 50-50, while a team winning because its opponent forfeited, was disqualified, or walked over after the match began resolves to that team [1]. The rules name HLTV as the resolution source. If HLTV has not published final results within 2 hours after the event concludes, a consensus of credible reporting, including video evidence, may be used instead [1]. Team names do not need to match exactly. Abbreviations, sponsor tags, academy designations, and similar variations are treated as the same team when the intended team can be clearly and uniquely identified in the competition. If a name cannot be unambiguously tied to a participating team, the market resolves 50-50 [1]. The saved record also includes two map-level contracts, one for Map 1 and one for Map 2, each asking whether total kills on that map will be odd or even [1]. The supplied rules text does not describe how those map contracts settle, so their resolution terms should be checked on the source page rather than assumed from the match-winner rules.
Why It Matters
The match-winner contract measures which team, BIG Academy or XI Esport, wins the scheduled match, with fallback rules for cancellations, delays, forfeits, and name ambiguity [1]. Because the rules define several non-winner outcomes that resolve 50-50, the contract's payout logic depends on the match actually producing a winner under the stated conditions [1]. The map contracts measure whether total kills on a given map are odd or even [1]. Their prices in the saved record were equal for each outcome, but a snapshot price is not an executable quote or a verified probability.
Snapshot context
The latest published provider snapshot for this topic was observed on 2026-10-15 at 21:00 UTC. It contains listings from Polymarket. Market descriptions and listed closing times define the contracts; they do not establish that the real-world outcome has occurred. This article does not include a separately verified news update. [1]
Frequently Asked Questions

It resolves to BIG Academy if BIG Academy wins the match against XI Esport, and to XI Esport if XI Esport wins the match against BIG Academy [1].
When does the contract resolve 50-50?
The rules say the market resolves 50-50 if the match is canceled, ends in a tie, or is delayed beyond 7 days from the scheduled date without a winner determined [1]. They also resolve 50-50 when a match ends in a forfeit, disqualification, or walkover before it starts, with the other team winning automatically [1].
What source is used to determine the result?
The stated resolution source is official information from HLTV. If HLTV has not published final results within 2 hours after the event concludes, a consensus of credible reporting may be used, including video evidence [1].
Does the sample include every possible outcome in this event?
The saved record includes all two markets retrieved for this event, which are the Map 1 and Map 2 odd or even total kills contracts [1]. The record does not establish that the provider lists every possible real-world outcome for the match.
