This market will resolve to "Yes" if a Tier 2 team qualifies for VALORANT Champions 2026, currently scheduled for September 24 to October 18, 2026 in Shanghai, China. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

A Tier 2 team means any team that is not one of the partnered (franchised) organizations of a VCT 2026 international league (Americas, EMEA, Pacific, or China). Whether the organization holds league partner status is the sole determinant. Teams that entered their league's Stage 2 through the Play-In path as Challengers or National Competition participants are examples of Tier 2 teams.

Qualifying means being officially confirmed by Riot Games as a participating team of VALORANT Champions 2026, whether through a Stage 2 result, Championship Points, a replacement or substitution, or any other official allocation method. A Tier 2 team that is officially confirmed as a participant and later withdraws or is replaced will still count as having qualified.

If a Tier 2 team is officially confirmed as a participant, this market will resolve to "Yes" immediately. Confirmations of replacement participants will count through the scheduled end of the event.

If no Tier 2 team has been officially confirmed as a participant by October 18, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, including if VALORANT Champions 2026 is cancelled or its field is never confirmed within that timeframe, this market will resolve to "No".

The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from Riot Games and the VALORANT Champions Tour; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.

Valorant Team to Win an International in 2026

This market will resolve to "Yes" if TenZ (Tyson Ngo) is officially appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of Riot Games on or before December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

"Appointed as CEO" refers to TenZ being formally named to the role of Chief Executive Officer of Riot Games, as confirmed by an official announcement from Riot Games or its parent company. An interim, acting, or ceremonial title will only count if it grants the official CEO role. Rumors, speculation, or unconfirmed reporting will not count.

The primary resolution source will be official announcements from Riot Games, however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.

Market resolves on December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or earlier upon a qualifying announcement.

Will TenZ be elected the new Riot Games CEO in 2026?

This market will resolve "Yes" if the Peak Viewership of any qualifying 2026 VALORANT international event exceeds the Peak Viewership of the highest-peaking qualifying 2026 CS2 Major, as measured by Esports Charts. Otherwise, this market will resolve "No."

"Qualifying VALORANT event" refers to: Valorant Masters Santiago 2026, Valorant Masters London 2026, Valorant EWC 2026, or Valorant Champions 2026 (Shanghai).

"Qualifying CS2 Major" means either of the two 2026 Valve-sponsored Majors: IEM Cologne Major 2026 or PGL Major Singapore 2026.

"Peak Viewership" means the peak concurrent viewer count for the event's main broadcast as reported by Esports Charts (https://escharts.com), excluding Chinese platform viewership, consistent with Esports Charts' standard methodology.

This market resolves "Yes" if at least one qualifying VALORANT event's peak viewership figure is greater than the larger of the two CS2 Majors' peak viewership figures. The comparison uses each event's single highest peak-viewer figure across the full event.

If a qualifying event is cancelled or not held, it is simply excluded from the comparison. If no qualifying CS2 Major or no qualifying VALORANT event takes place in 2026, or if Esports Charts does not publish peak viewership figures for the relevant events by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "No."

The resolution source for this market will be Esports Charts (https://escharts.com). A consensus of credible reporting may also be used where Esports Charts figures are unavailable or disputed.

Will VALORANT Viewership Surpass CS2 Viewership at a Major in 2026?

This market will resolve "Yes" if Tarik "tarik" Celik and Pujan "FNS" Mehta compete against each other in a combat-sports bout that physically takes place at any point before December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve "No".

A qualifying bout is any publicly held combat-sports match — boxing, kickboxing, MMA, or any professional, amateur, or exhibition influencer/creator format — in which the two face each other as opponents, meeting all of the following:

Organized and promoted: it appears on a fight card or event listing published in advance by a promoter or organizer (not an impromptu confrontation).
Officiated: it is conducted under a recognized combat-sports ruleset with at least one neutral referee and defined timed rounds.
Contested: both participants compete as opponents and the outcome is decided by the competition itself (decision, stoppage, knockout, submission, or disqualification), not pre-arranged. A scripted or predetermined result (as in pro wrestling or a skit) does not qualify.
Documented: an official result is reported by an established combat-sports/esports outlet or the promoter's official broadcast.

If no such boxing match between the two takes place on or before December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET — including if it is announced but cancelled, postponed into 2027, or never scheduled — this market will resolve "No".

The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting (e.g., coverage from established esports/boxing outlets, the official event broadcast or promoter, or verified announcements from Tarik or FNS themselves). In the event of conflicting reports, official confirmation from the event promoter or the fighters' official channels will take precedence.

Will Tarik have a boxing fight with FNS in 2026?

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Zekken leaves MIBR at any point on or before December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

"Leaving MIBR" refers to Zekken no longer being a member of MIBR's active roster, whether by transfer to another organization, release, benching with removal from the active roster, retirement, or any other permanent departure from the team. A temporary stand-in absence or loan from which Zekken returns to MIBR's active roster will not count. A confirmed departure will qualify even if Zekken's next destination has not been announced.

If Zekken is not a member of MIBR's active roster as of this market's launch, the market will resolve to "No" unless he joins and subsequently leaves within the timeframe.

The primary resolution source will be official announcements from MIBR and Zekken, however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.

Market resolves on December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or earlier upon a qualifying departure.

Will Zekken Leave MIBR in 2026?

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Jake "Boaster" Howlett officially announces his retirement from professional VALORANT play by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

To resolve "Yes", the announcement must clearly state that Boaster is retiring from professional VALORANT play as a player. Professional VALORANT play includes the VCT international leagues, VCT Challengers, and any other professional VALORANT competition; an announcement that Boaster is leaving a specific team or league while continuing to compete professionally elsewhere will not qualify. The announcement must come from Boaster himself or his official representatives. Announcements of a break, hiatus, benching, or move to an inactive roster will not qualify unless they clearly state that Boaster's departure from professional play is permanent. An announcement that Boaster is moving to a coaching, content, or other non-playing role will qualify only if it clearly states that he is retiring from professional play as a player.

The retirement must be intended to take effect immediately or prior to the start of the next VCT season following the announcement. An announcement made in 2026 that is intended to take effect before the start of the 2027 VCT season will qualify.

The qualifying announcement itself must be made by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Reporting or clarification published on or before January 14, 2027, 11:59 PM ET may be used to establish that a qualifying announcement was made within that window; a qualifying announcement first established after that time will not count.

The primary resolution source for this market will be official statements from Boaster; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.

Will Boaster Retire from Professional VALORANT in 2026?

This market will resolve "Yes" if the listed player departs the listed team's active roster on or before December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve "No".

For the purpose of this market, the listed player is considered to have "left" if they are officially removed from the listed team's active roster — including a transfer to another team, release, benching to inactive/reserve, loan to another team, retirement, or any other departure from the active lineup — as reflected on the team's Liquipedia page (https://liquipedia.net/valorant). The player being a stand-in for another team while still rostered does not by itself count.

The change must occur on or before the deadline and be reflected in the resolution source. Once the departure appears in the resolution source, it must remain in effect for at least 48 continuous hours to be valid. This 48-hour period may finish after the deadline, so long as the departure itself occurred on or before the deadline. If the change is reverted before 48 hours have elapsed, it will not count toward resolution.

A name change or alias referring to the same player on the same team does not count as leaving. Temporary absence for a single match (with the player remaining on the roster) does not count.

If the listed team disbands, or the listed player and the team part ways because the roster is dissolved, this will count as the player leaving and resolve "Yes".

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

This market will resolve to "Yes" if FNS publicly announces that he is running for President of the United States in the 2028 election on or before December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

"Announcing a 2028 presidential run" refers to FNS making a public declaration of his candidacy for President of the United States in the 2028 election, whether through an official campaign launch, a filing with the Federal Election Commission as a presidential candidate, or an unambiguous public statement declaring his intent to run in 2028. Jokes, satire, hypothetical statements, or ambiguous remarks that do not constitute a genuine declaration of candidacy will not count.

The primary resolution source will be FNS's official public statements and any Federal Election Commission filings, however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.

Market resolves on December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or earlier upon a qualifying announcement.
