This market refers to the Counter-Strike Lower bracket semifinal match between FUT Esports and Astralis in the BLAST Rivals Group A, initially scheduled for April 30 at 11:00AM ET. This market will resolve to "Astralis" if Astralis wins 2 or more maps than FUT Esports in this match. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "FUT 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), ends in a tie, or is delayed beyond 7 days from the scheduled date without a winner determined, this market will resolve to 50-50. 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.
