This market will resolve to "Vitality" if Vitality win the match against FaZe.
If the match is canceled (not played at all) 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 September 3, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET (14 calendar days after the originally scheduled start of August 20, 2026 at 10:00 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.

If the match begins but is not completed, and one team wins due to the opponent's forfeiture, disqualification, or walkover, this market will resolve to the team who wins.
If the match ends in a forfeit, disqualification, or walkover (team withdraws before the start and the other wins automatically), this market will resolve to 50-50.
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.
In cases where a team’s listed name includes minor discrepancies from the resolution source, this market will resolve based on the underlying real-world match rather than exact name matching. Recognizable abbreviations, alternate or erroneous spellings, sponsor tags, affiliate or academy designations, regional identifiers, and minor formatting differences will be treated as referring to the same team, provided the intended team can be clearly and uniquely identified within the relevant competition. If a listed team name has no reasonable connection to any participating team, or if it matches or could reasonably refer to another team in the same competition such that the intended team cannot be unambiguously determined, this market will resolve 50-50.

Game context
FaZe Clan enters the August 20 Esports World Cup 2026 Round of 16 BO3 against Team Vitality on the back of a clean 2-0 sweep of Legacy in group play, showcasing improved map execution on Ancient and Cache. Vitality maintains the higher HLTV ranking and a dominant head-to-head record, winning eight of the last ten encounters, though recent roster stability and consistent playoff qualification bolster their implied edge. Both squads carry LAN experience from the Riyadh event, with FaZe's earlier mid-year benching of broky and integration adjustments remaining key variables. Map veto dynamics and current form streaks will likely shape the closely contested series outcome.
