This market refers to the Counter-Strike Upper bracket semifinal 1 match between Team Falcons and Astralis in the Esports World Cup Group B, initially scheduled for August 13 at 1:00PM ET. This market will resolve to "Team Falcons" if Team Falcons win the match against Astralis. This market will resolve to "Astralis" if Astralis win the match against Team Falcons. If the match is canceled (not played at all), 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 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.
Team Falcons enter the Esports World Cup 2026 Group B upper-bracket semifinal as clear favorites against Astralis in the BO3, driven by their stacked roster featuring NiKo, m0NESY, and karrigan alongside strong recent form that includes series wins over Vitality, Spirit, and NaVi. Falcons sit near the top of the world rankings and have posted dominant map wins in the opening matches, while Astralis, ranked around 11th-14th, secured a narrow victory over MIBR but have struggled against higher-tier opposition with inconsistent results. Key variables include map pool comfort on Ancient and Dust2, individual star performances, and Astralis's ability to force close maps in a high-stakes group stage setting.
