BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 2: Winner

This market will resolve to "Yes" if JL signs with a professional Counter-Strike 2 organization by August 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

A professional Counter-Strike 2 organization is any organization that fields a paid Counter-Strike 2 roster in official CS2 competitions.

"Signs" refers to JL entering into a paid contract with an organization to compete in Counter-Strike 2 for that organization. Trials or other relationships that do not include a signed professional playing contract will not count. Sponsorship agreements or other contracts that do not pay JL to compete in Counter-Strike 2 for a specific organization will also not count.

A signed professional contract between JL and a qualifying Counter-Strike 2 organization within this market's timeframe will qualify even if its effective start date is after August 31, 2026.

The primary resolution source will be official announcements from the team involved and JL, however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.

Will JL join a team by September 2026?

This market will resolve "Yes" if JL is officially announced as a member of any professional Counter-Strike team on or before August 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve "No."

An official announcement must confirm that JL has joined a team's active roster, as a starter, or in a stand-in/bench capacity that is formally listed on the roster. "Joining a team" includes a signed contract, an official roster/transfer announcement, or a confirmed loan. 

A trial, tryout, rumored deal, or unconfirmed report does not count. If JL is already listed on a team roster as of market launch, this market concerns joining a new team; the qualifying event is JL being announced on a different organization's roster.

This market will resolve based on HLTV.org (https://www.hltv.org). JL's official player page and team roster listings on HLTV will be the primary source of truth. In the absence of an HLTV update, this market will resolve based on a consensus of credible reporting.

Will JL Find a Team Before September?

This market will resolve based on the total number of knife kills recorded across all completed maps of BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 2, scheduled for July 21, 2026 to August 2, 2026.

A knife kill is any kill credited in-game to a player using the knife (melee) against an opponent. Kills made with any other weapon, including the Zeus x27 taser, do not count. Every knife kill in every completed official map of the event counts individually toward the total.

The market resolves to the single range containing the final total number of knife kills at the conclusion of the event.

If BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 2 is cancelled, or is not completed such that its results are not determined by August 16, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other."

The resolution source for this market will be official information from HLTV (https://www.hltv.org); however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.

Blast Bounty 2026 Season 2: Total Knife Kills

This market will resolve to "Yes" if FaZe Clan's CS2 roster wins (takes 1st place in) any Tier 1 CS2 tournament that concludes by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

For the purpose of this market, a "Tier 1 Event" refers to any tournament classified as S-Tier on Liquipedia.net. Online-only events, or events downgraded prior to event start (e.g., downgraded to A-Tier due to team attendance) do not qualify. If a Tier 1 event is downgraded after it has concluded, this event will still qualify as a "Tier 1 Event". 

The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the tournament organizers (e.g., ESL, PGL, BLAST.tv, etc.).

Will FaZe win a Tier 1 event in 2026? 

This market will resolve to "Yes" if any player joins or leaves Team Falcons' main cs2 roster (defined as players listed with status = "Starter" in the "Players of Falcons" table on HLTV: https://www.hltv.org/team/11283/falcons#tab-rosterBox) by August 31 11:59pm ET, 2026. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

As of market creation the active starter roster consists of the following five players: m0NESY, kyousuke, NiKo, TeSeS, Karrigan. 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, benching to inactive/reserve, release, retirement, or departure of a player from the active starter lineup. This includes adding new players (transfers, free agent signings, or loans), removing players (to bench/inactive, free agency, or other teams), or any change resulting in a different 5-player active roster on HLTV.

Coach changes and temporary stand-ins for a single event will not count. For matches and events, the stand-in appears in the active 5-player lineup but with a clear marker (e.g., [SI]) to distinguish them from the core roster.

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

Will Team Falcons Make a Roster Change Before September?

This market will resolve "Yes" if at least one player achieves an ace (personally killing all five opposing players in a single round) with all five kills made using the USP-S or Glock-18, in any official match across BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 2, scheduled for July 21, 2026 to August 2, 2026. Otherwise, this market will resolve "No."

All five kills must be secured by the same player in the same round. A round in which a player aces but makes one or more kills with any other weapon (including the P2000, other pistols, rifles, grenades, or knife) does not count. 

Every completed map in every official match of the event counts, across all stages.

If BLAST Bounty 2026 Season 2 is cancelled, or is not completed such that its results are not determined by August 16, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve "No."

HLTV rating is measured across all of a player's completed maps at the event, as recorded by HLTV. To qualify, a player must have played a minimum of 5 maps; a rating of 1.30 or higher by any player meeting this threshold resolves the market "Yes."

If the event is cancelled, or is not completed such that its results are not determined by August 16, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve "No."

If ZywOo participates in a tournament that starts on or before that date but concludes after, resolution will be delayed until the day after the tournament concludes to allow HLTV to update the page.

The primary resolution source for this market will be the MVP section of ZywOo's HLTV trophies page (https://www.hltv.org/player/11893/zywoo#tab-trophiesBox); however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
