However, if https://www.dotabuff.com 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 Yandex enters this best-of-three upper bracket semifinal on strong recent momentum after a 2-0 sweep of Team Liquid and a dramatic 2-1 reverse sweep over LGD Gaming to secure their playoff spot. Their international roster, featuring carry watson, mid CHIRA_JUNIOR, and supports Saksa and Malady, has shown improved coordination in high-stakes games. Nigma Galaxy counters with veteran experience led by SumaiL and GH, fresh off an upset over Team Falcons and solid group-stage results that highlighted strong mid-game execution and draft flexibility. Limited prior head-to-head data and both squads' undefeated playoff runs so far create a closely contested matchup where recent form, hero pool depth, and adaptation to the Shanghai stage environment will likely shape the outcome.
