BLAST Slam IX: Winner

This market will resolve to "Yes" if, between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, a qualifying body officially announces a ban or suspension of a Dota 2 player, coach, or team for match-fixing, match manipulation, or betting-related corruption. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

For the purposes of this market, a "qualifying body" is the Esports Integrity Commission (ESIC), Valve, Perfect World, or the organizer of a Dota 2 tournament listed as Tier 1, Tier 2, or Tier 3 on Liquipedia at the time of the announcement. Provisional suspensions qualify. Bans or suspensions for other reasons alone, such as cheating software, account sharing, toxic behavior, or unspecified "competitive integrity" reasons that are not described as match-fixing, match manipulation, or betting-related, will not qualify.

A new sanction announced within this market's timeframe qualifies, including a final ruling in a case opened before market creation. Appeal decisions, reductions, or restatements of sanctions that were first announced before market creation will not qualify.

The primary resolution source for this market will be official statements from the qualifying body; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.

Will a Dota 2 match-fixing ban be announced before 2027?

This market will resolve to "Yes" if any player joins or leaves the listed team's active Dota 2 roster (defined as the active lineup listed on the listed team's Liquipedia page, https://liquipedia.net/dota2) between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

The relevant roster is whichever active lineup is listed on the resolution source at market creation. Name changes or aliases referring to the same player do not qualify as roster changes.

For the purpose of this market, "roster change" refers to any official signing, transfer, loan, benching to inactive/reserve, release, retirement, or departure of a player from the active lineup, and any return of an inactive player to the active lineup. This includes adding new players (transfers, free agent signings, or loans), removing players (to inactive, free agency, or other teams), or any change resulting in a different active roster.

A qualifying roster change must occur within this market's timeframe, and be reflected in the resolution source. Once the change appears in the resolution source, it must remain live for at least 48 continuous hours to be valid. This 48-hour period may finish after the deadline, so long as the change itself occurred on or before the deadline. If the change is reverted or removed before 48 hours have elapsed, the window resets and will not count toward resolution.

If the listed team disbands its Dota 2 roster within this market's timeframe, this will count as a roster change.

Coach changes and temporary stand-ins for a single match or tournament will not count.

The primary resolution source for this market will be Liquipedia; however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.

Which Dota 2 Teams Will Make a Roster Change Before 2027?

This market will resolve to "Yes" if, between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, a qualifying Dota 2 tournament is officially canceled or postponed. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

For the purposes of this market, a "qualifying tournament" is any Dota 2 tournament listed as Tier 1 or Tier 2 on Liquipedia (https://liquipedia.net/dota2/Tier_1_Tournaments and https://liquipedia.net/dota2/Tier_2_Tournaments) at market creation, whose scheduled dates at market creation fall at least partly between market creation and December 31, 2026.

A tournament will be considered "postponed" if its organizer officially moves its start date, or the start date of any remaining stage, to a date at least 7 calendar days later than scheduled at market creation. A tournament will be considered "canceled" if its organizer officially announces that it will not take place or will not be completed. Changes only to the format, venue, online or offline status, participating teams, or prize pool will not qualify. Delays within a single day, or rescheduling of individual matches, will not qualify.

Will a Tier 1 or Tier 2 Dota 2 tournament be canceled or postponed before 2027?

This market will resolve to "Yes" if, between market creation and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, a qualifying organization officially announces that it is disbanding its Dota 2 team or leaving Dota 2. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

For the purposes of this market, a "qualifying organization" is an esports organization that fields an active Dota 2 roster at market creation and whose Dota 2 team has total prize money earnings above $1,000,000, as listed on its Liquipedia team page (https://liquipedia.net/dota2) at market creation.

An official announcement that all players have been released from a team's active roster also qualifies, unless the same announcement states that the organization will field a new Dota 2 roster. A roster that only moves to inactive status, the release of some but not all players, a rebrand, or the sale of a roster to another organization that keeps playing will not qualify.
