BLAST Open Porto 2026: Winner

This market will resolve to "Yes" if it is officially announced that Fnatic will be, has been, or is being acquired by or merged with another entity by the listed date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

Mergers or acquisitions involving Fnatic or a parent/subsidiary company will qualify.

Fnatic ceasing to exist as an independent entity through merger, consolidation, or similar transaction will qualify.

An announcement by Fnatic or its acquiring entity within this market's timeframe will qualify for a "Yes" resolution, regardless of whether or when the announced acquisition/merger actually occurs.

Announcements of partial sales may count, as long as the acquiring company acquires a controlling interest in Fnatic. A "controlling interest" refers to a change in ownership sufficient to control the company's strategic decisions (typically more than 50% of equity, or equivalent control via voting and governance rights). Transactions or investments that do not result in a transfer of controlling interest will not count.

The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from Fnatic and the acquiring entity; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.

Fnatic merger/acquisition announced by...?

This market will resolve based on the total number of knife kills recorded across all completed maps of the Counter-Strike 2 tournament at the 2026 Esports World Cup (EWC 2026), scheduled for August 12, 2026 to August 23, 2026.

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.

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 to "Other."

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.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if FaZe Clan's CS2 roster wins (takes 1st place in) any Tier 1 CS2 tournament that concludes by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

For the purpose of this market, a "Tier 1 Event" refers to any tournament classified as S-Tier on Liquipedia.net. Online-only events, or events downgraded prior to event start (e.g., downgraded to A-Tier due to team attendance) do not qualify. If a Tier 1 event is downgraded after it has concluded, this event will still qualify as a "Tier 1 Event". 

The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the tournament organizers (e.g., ESL, PGL, BLAST.tv, etc.).

BLAST Open Porto 2026: To Make Playoffs

This market will resolve to "Yes" if any player joins or leaves Natus Vincere's main cs2 roster (defined as players listed with status = "Starter" in the "Players of Natus Vincere" table on HLTV: https://www.hltv.org/team/4608/natus-vincere#tab-rosterBox) by August 31 11:59pm ET, 2026. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

As of market creation the active starter roster consists of the following five players: b1t, Aleksib, iM, w0nderful, makazze. Name changes or aliases referring to the same player do not qualify as roster changes.

For the purpose of this market, "roster change" refers to any official signing, transfer, benching to inactive/reserve, release, retirement, or departure of a player from the active starter lineup. This includes adding new players (transfers, free agent signings, or loans), removing players (to bench/inactive, free agency, or other teams), or any change resulting in a different 5-player active roster on HLTV.

Coach changes and temporary stand-ins for a single event will not count. For matches and events, the stand-in appears in the active 5-player lineup but with a clear marker (e.g., [SI]) to distinguish them from the core roster.

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

Will Natus Vincere Make a Roster Change before September?

This market will resolve to "Yes" if 10 or more total knife kills are recorded during BLAST Open Porto 2026, currently scheduled for August 26 to September 6, 2026. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

A qualifying knife kill occurs when any player is credited with a kill of an opposing player using the knife (any knife variant) in an official BLAST Open Porto 2026 match. Qualifying knife kills are counted cumulatively across all maps of all matches at the event, including any overtime rounds, in both the group stage and the playoffs. The kills do not need to be recorded by the same player, on the same map, or in the same match. Team kills, suicides, and kills recorded in warmups, technical replays, or maps voided by the tournament organizer will not count.

If the total reaches 10 qualifying knife kills, this market will resolve to "Yes" immediately, regardless of any subsequent postponement or cancellation of the event.

If BLAST Open Porto 2026 concludes early, is shortened, or is truncated for any reason, this market will resolve based on the maps actually completed; if fewer than 10 qualifying knife kills were recorded in those maps, this market will resolve to "No".

If BLAST Open Porto 2026 is cancelled before any maps are played, postponed beyond September 20, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or it is otherwise unclear whether 10 qualifying knife kills were recorded within that timeframe, this market will resolve 50-50.

The primary resolution source for this market will be HLTV.org, including its match pages and statistics database; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.

Temporary additions (e.g., for testing) that are reversed within 48 hours will not count.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if ArrowCS eats a bug during any livestreams between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

"Eating a bug" refers to ArrowCS placing any part of the body of an insect or other arthropod (such as a cricket, ant, beetle, or similar) into his mouth and closing his mouth during a live broadcast.

A qualifying bug may be alive, dead, cooked, raw, or otherwise prepared provided it is a recognizable part of the body of an insect or other arthropod.

The relevant part of the body of an insect or other arthropod must be a discrete item and retain its original physical form. Processed or insect-derived products, such as insect flour, protein bars, or snacks containing ground insects, will not count. 

ArrowCS must close his mouth with the relevant bug inside, defined as his two lips being completely shut. Merely holding, licking, or placing a bug in the mouth without closure will not count. If he later removes the bug from his mouth after a qualifying action, that will have no bearing on resolution of this market.

The full act as described above must be clearly broadcast on a livestream to qualify. Pre-recorded or edited footage that is not part of a live broadcast will not count.

The resolution source for this market will be qualifying livestream footage.

Will ArrowCS eat a bug on stream by December 31?
