This market refers to the Counter-Strike Upper bracket final match between WBT and mellren in the CCT Europe Challengers Series Playoffs, initially scheduled for August 22, 2026 at 7:00 AM ET. This market will resolve to "WBT" if WBT win the match against mellren. This market will resolve to "mellren" if mellren win the match against WBT. If the match is canceled (not played at all) or ends in a tie, this market will resolve to 50-50. If the match is postponed, it must be rescheduled to a start time on or before September 5, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET (14 calendar days after the originally scheduled start of August 22, 2026 at 7:00 AM ET). If, by that deadline, the most recently announced rescheduled start time is on or before the deadline, this market resolves based on the result of the match as played. Otherwise, this market resolves 50-50, regardless of whether the match is subsequently played. 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.
WBT enters the CCT Europe Challengers Series 5 upper bracket final as the clear favorite against mellren, buoyed by a three-match win streak that includes clean 2-0 victories over LPH, Mai Tai, and ENCE. The Ukrainian squad’s core, led by high-rated players like tired73 (1.30 rating over recent maps) and strong showings from svemyy and NxStep, has posted superior ADR and KAST metrics compared to mellren’s lineup. mellren, a Belarusian/CIS side that claimed the prior Contenders #6 title and posted recent 2-1 and 2-0 playoff wins, brings solid map pool depth but trails in world ranking and head-to-head momentum. As a Bo3 with no prior meetings, map selection and individual form in high-pressure rounds will likely decide advancement.
