If the match is postponed, it must be rescheduled to a start time on or before September 1, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET (14 calendar days after the originally scheduled start of August 18, 2026 at 6:30 AM ET).

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.
INOX Division enters the European Pro League Regular Season 6 playoffs BO3 with strong recent form, including a 2-0 group stage record and +29 map differential that reflects consistent execution across maps. The roster of k0s, FenomeN, k1slll, finW, and gooddeph benefits from stability after the mid-August re-signing of gooddeph and limited stand-in disruption. Inner Circle Prospect, featuring a younger lineup including h1ma18ya and qw3zy, posted a 1-1 group record and a 2-0 win over ENCE Prospects but trails in overall experience and map differential. Head-to-head results and group positioning position INOX as the consensus favorite, though Prospect’s recent momentum and BO3 adaptation potential keep the series competitive on map pool strength.
