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.
Walczaki enters this BO3 European Qualifier matchup as the clear favorite, reflecting their stronger recent form and higher global ranking around the top 60. The Polish squad, formed in April 2026 from former ESC Gaming players and stabilized with reiko’s July return, boasts solid results in CCT Europe and NODWIN events despite some August losses to teams like ex-RUSTEC. Their core (SaMey, bajmi, olimp, moonwalk, reiko) shows competitive map strengths on Ancient and Nuke, with active participation in ongoing B- and C-tier tournaments providing fresh momentum. X-CITY, a stable but lower-ranked Russian CIS roster (around #320) with minimal high-level exposure since 2024, has sparse recent results and limited success beyond intermediate events. The significant experience and ranking gap drives consensus pricing, though qualifier upsets remain possible given BO3 variance and any late roster or preparation factors.
