Map Handicap: NIP (-1.5) vs Betclic Apogee Esports (+1.5)

This market refers to the Counter-Strike Opening match between NIP and Betclic Apogee Esports in the Stake Pulse Beat III Group A, initially scheduled for October 12, 2026 at 6:00 AM ET. This market will resolve to "NIP" if NIP wins 2 or more maps than Betclic Apogee Esports in this match. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "Betclic Apogee Esports". Maps won by forfeit, disqualification, walkover, or default are counted towards the handicap, provided that the match is completed. If the match is canceled (not played at all for any reason) or ends in a tie, this market will resolve to 50-50. If the match is postponed, it must be rescheduled to a start time on or before October 26, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET (14 calendar days after the originally scheduled start of October 12, 2026 at 6:00 AM ET). If, by that deadline, the most recently announced rescheduled start time is on or before the deadline, this market resolves based on the result of the match as played. Otherwise, this market resolves 50-50, regardless of whether the match is subsequently played. If the match begins but is not completed, and one team wins due to the opponent's match forfeiture, disqualification, or walkover, this market will resolve to 50-50. If the match ends due to the clinching map being forfeited this will count as a completed match. The resolution source for this market will be official information from https://hltv.org. However, if https://hltv.org has not published final results within 2 hours after the event’s conclusion, a consensus of credible reporting may be used instead including video evidence.
