A knife kill is any kill credited in-game to a player using the knife (melee) against an opponent. Kills made with any other weapon, including the Zeus x27 taser, do not count. Every knife kill in every completed official map of the event counts individually toward the total.

Only maps played in the 32-team main event count, including both the group stage and the playoffs. Maps played in the Open Qualifiers, the Last Chance Qualifier, or any showmatch do not count.

The market resolves to the single range containing the final total number of knife kills at the conclusion of the event.

EWC CS2 2026: MVP

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Mathieu "ZywOo" Herbaut's Total HLTV MVP award count reaches 36 or more at any point on or before December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, as shown in the MVP overview table within the Trophies section of his HLTV.org player page. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

Note: as of market creation (May 22, 2026), ZywOo's HLTV profile lists 32 Total MVPs.

This market may resolve to "No" when it becomes impossible for ZywOo to reach 36 Total MVPs by the deadline (e.g., if no remaining tournaments in 2026 could bring his count to 36).

This market will resolve to "No" if ZywOo's Total MVP count has not reached 36 by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. If ZywOo participates in a tournament that starts on or before that date but concludes after, resolution will be delayed until the day after the tournament concludes to allow HLTV to update the page.

The primary resolution source for this market will be the MVP section of ZywOo's HLTV trophies page (https://www.hltv.org/player/11893/zywoo#tab-trophiesBox); however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.

Will ZywOo reach 36 HLTV MVP awards by December 31, 2026?

This market will resolve to "Yes" if JL signs with a professional Counter-Strike 2 organization by August 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

A professional Counter-Strike 2 organization is any organization that fields a paid Counter-Strike 2 roster in official CS2 competitions.

"Signs" refers to JL entering into a paid contract with an organization to compete in Counter-Strike 2 for that organization. Trials or other relationships that do not include a signed professional playing contract will not count. Sponsorship agreements or other contracts that do not pay JL to compete in Counter-Strike 2 for a specific organization will also not count.

A signed professional contract between JL and a qualifying Counter-Strike 2 organization within this market's timeframe will qualify even if its effective start date is after August 31, 2026.

The primary resolution source will be official announcements from the team involved and JL, however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.

Will JL join a team by September 2026?

This market will resolve "Yes" if JL is officially announced as a member of any professional Counter-Strike team on or before August 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve "No."

An official announcement must confirm that JL has joined a team's active roster, as a starter, or in a stand-in/bench capacity that is formally listed on the roster. "Joining a team" includes a signed contract, an official roster/transfer announcement, or a confirmed loan. 

A trial, tryout, rumored deal, or unconfirmed report does not count. If JL is already listed on a team roster as of market launch, this market concerns joining a new team; the qualifying event is JL being announced on a different organization's roster.

This market will resolve based on HLTV.org (https://www.hltv.org). JL's official player page and team roster listings on HLTV will be the primary source of truth. In the absence of an HLTV update, this market will resolve based on a consensus of credible reporting.

Will JL Find a Team Before September?

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Robin "ropz" Kool is pulled over by law enforcement between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

A qualifying stop occurs when law enforcement officers in any jurisdiction signal or direct a motor vehicle driven by ropz to stop, regardless of the reason for the stop and regardless of whether it results in a fine, a warning, or no penalty. 

Stops at fixed checkpoints or border crossings, stops of vehicles in which ropz is a passenger rather than the driver will not count toward a "Yes" resolution for this market.

A qualifying stop must be publicly confirmed to have occurred. Confirmation may come from a statement or footage published by ropz, from an official law enforcement statement, or from credible reporting. A statement by ropz will qualify only if it explicitly describes a stop that actually occurred; jokes, memes, or hypothetical references will not qualify.

If a qualifying stop occurs within the window, this market will resolve to "Yes" once it is publicly confirmed. A qualifying stop that is not publicly confirmed by January 14, 2027, 11:59 PM ET will not qualify, and if no qualifying stop has been confirmed by that time this market will resolve to "No".

The primary resolution source for this market will be public statements from ropz and/or local, state, or federal law enforcement; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.

Will ropz Get Pulled Over Again in 2026?

This market will resolve "Yes" if at least one map ends with a final score of 13–0 in any official match across the Counter-Strike 2 tournament at the 2026 Esports World Cup (EWC 2026), scheduled for August 12, 2026 to August 23, 2026. Otherwise, this market will resolve "No."

Every completed map in every official match of the 32-team main event counts, across all stages, group stage and playoffs/finals. A 13–0 result on any single map by either team resolves this market "Yes," regardless of which stage, match, or team it occurs in. Maps played in the Open Qualifiers or the Last Chance Qualifier do not count.

Only completed maps count. A map that is not completed (e.g., a technical remake or forfeit before a 13–0 is reached) does not count toward a "Yes."

If the Counter-Strike 2 tournament at EWC 2026 is cancelled, or is not completed such that its results are not determined by September 6, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve "No."

The resolution source for this market will be official information from HLTV (https://www.hltv.org); however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.

EWC CS2 2026: Any map to go 13-0

This market will resolve to "Yes" if the player named MVP of BLAST Open Porto 2026 by HLTV.org has never previously been named the MVP of an event by HLTV.org. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

The MVP of BLAST Open Porto 2026 means the player officially awarded the HLTV.org MVP medal for the event. A prior MVP means any event MVP award issued by HLTV.org to that player before the announcement of the BLAST Open Porto 2026 MVP, as listed in the trophy section of the player's HLTV.org profile. MVP or similar awards issued by organizations other than HLTV.org will not be considered.

If HLTV.org does not name an MVP for BLAST Open Porto 2026 by September 20, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or the event is cancelled or postponed beyond that date, this market will resolve 50-50.

The primary resolution source for this market will be HLTV.org; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
