What the contract measures

The supplied Polymarket event covers the Counter-Strike quarterfinal 4 match between Chicken Coop Esports and SportsBetExpert in the PGL Astana North American Open Qualifier #1 Playoffs [1]. The rules say the match was "initially scheduled for March 23 at 9:00PM ET" [1]. The listed end time is 2026-03-31T03:59:00.000Z [1]. These are contract dates. They are not confirmation of when the match was played or resolved.

The rules set the resolution conditions. A market resolves to the team that wins, or to 50-50 if the match is canceled, ends in a tie, or is delayed beyond 7 days from the scheduled date without a winner [1]. Forfeits and walkovers also generally resolve 50-50, except where a team wins after an opponent's forfeit, disqualification, or walkover during a match that has begun [1]. The stated resolution source is hltv.org, with a consensus of credible reporting possible if final results are not published within 2 hours of the event's conclusion [1].

Reading the snapshot

The saved sample contains three markets from Polymarket, one for each of Map 1, Map 2, and Map 3, all titled "Odd/Even Total Kills?" [1]. Each shows "Odd" at 0.5 and "Even" at 0.5 [1]. These are snapshot prices observed at 2026-10-16T03:00:06.094Z, not executable quotes or verified probabilities. Equal prices in this snapshot show an even split at that moment. They do not show how the maps will play out.

Each map is a separate contract with its own outcomes, so the three should be read individually. The excerpt does not include volume for these markets, so it cannot be used to judge liquidity or trader activity. The snapshot was retrieved at 2026-10-16T03:21:15.663Z, and any reader should treat it as a record of that moment rather than a live view.

What remains uncertain

The evidence does not show whether the match was played, its winner, or whether any market has resolved. It also does not show why the listed status is "active" when the listed end time and scheduled date both fall before the observation time. The provider status and market status fields are reported as they appear, without explanation.

The sample covers all saved markets for this event: three of three, with partialSample set to false [1]. However, the source notes that this "does not establish that the providers list every possible real-world outcome" [1]. The evidence contains no match-winner market, so this sample cannot be used to compare the two teams.
