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.
Bushido Wildcats enter this NODWIN Clutch Series Play-In Group C best-of-three with stronger recent momentum, posting multiple series wins across CCT Europe and European Pro League events in the past week. Their 82% win rate and consistent results against regional sides give them the edge in current form over Nexus, who sit higher in VRS points but show more inconsistent outputs. The February 2026 head-to-head went Bushido’s way 2-1, highlighting map pool familiarity advantages on Dust2 and Inferno. As the Group C opener, roster stability and adaptation to the BO3 structure remain key variables for the Turkish side’s implied probability lead.
