Map 1 Rounds Handicap: 9z (-3.5) vs Alliance (+3.5)

This market refers to the Counter-Strike match between 9z and Alliance in the XSE Pro League Group Stage, initially scheduled for July 4 at 4:00AM ET. This market is decided solely by the round score of Map 1 of this match, and is independent of which team wins Map 1 or the overall match. This market will resolve to "9z" if 9z wins Map 1 by 4 or more rounds, including any overtime (i.e. 9z's round total on Map 1 exceeds Alliance's by 4 or more). Otherwise, this market will resolve to "Alliance". Map 1 must be played to completion, with a final round score determined by rounds actually played, for this market to resolve to a team. If Map 1 is completed in this way, the market resolves on that round score regardless of how the remainder of the match concludes (including any later forfeit, disqualification, walkover, or default). If Map 1 is not played at all, is not played to completion, or is decided by forfeit, disqualification, walkover, or default rather than by rounds played to a conclusion, this market will resolve 50-50. If the match is canceled, or is delayed beyond 7 days from the scheduled date without Map 1 being completed, this market will resolve 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.
