1. Market Outcomes and Resolution Criteria: This market resolves to “VIT” if Team Vitality is officially recorded as the winner of the IEM match between Team Vitality and Team Falcons originally scheduled for April 15, 2026, and this specific scheduled match is completed before 22:30 UTC April 15, 2026. It resolves to “FAL” if Team Falcons is officially recorded as the winner under the same conditions. It resolves to “Tie” if this specific scheduled match is canceled, postponed beyond 22:30 UTC April 15, 2026, concluded without an officially declared winner, or if no official winner is recorded for the IEM match between Team Vitality and Team Falcons originally scheduled for April 15, 2026 by that deadline; in the event of a Tie resolution, all positions settle at $0.50 per share.
2. Definition of Official Winner: “Officially recorded as the winner” means the team listed as the winner in the official match results published by the tournament organizer for the IEM match between Team Vitality and Team Falcons originally scheduled for April 15, 2026, including outcomes determined through the completion of all maps in the match series according to official tournament rules, including overtime or tiebreak procedures if applicable.
3. Official Sources and Evidence: The primary source for resolution is the official IEM tournament match results and standings as published by the event organizer (ESL). Secondary sources such as HLTV or other major esports statistics providers may be used for corroboration but cannot override clear, later-dated official publications.

Handling Postponements, Cancellations, and Non-Winner Outcomes: If the IEM match between Team Vitality and Team Falcons originally scheduled for April 15, 2026 is postponed but completed before 22:30 UTC April 15, 2026, that result determines the outcome. If this specific scheduled match is completed after the deadline, canceled, or no official winner is declared by the deadline, the market resolves to “Tie.”
