This market resolves "Yes" if Team Falcons' CS2 roster wins (1st place) any S-Tier CS2 tournament that concludes between January 1, 2026 and December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

For the purpose of this market, an "S-Tier Event" refers to any concluded tournament classified as S-Tier on Liquipedia.net. Online-only qualifiers, or events downgraded prior to event start (e.g., downgraded to A-Tier due to team attendance) do not qualify. If an S-Tier event is downgraded after it has concluded this event will still qualify as an "S-Tier Event".
 
If multiple teams are declared co-winners of an S-Tier event, this market will resolve in favor of the team whose listed team name appears first alphabetically on Liquipedia.net. Accordingly, if Team Falcons is declared a co-winner, the market will resolve to “Yes” only if “Team Falcons” appears first alphabetically among the co-winners on Liquipedia.net.

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

Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

As of market creation the active starter roster consists of the following five players: Jame, BELCHONOKK, xiELO, nota, and zweih. 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.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if any current member of the Counter-Strike 2 team of the FaZe clan comes out as a furry between market creation and July 31, 2026. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

For the purposes of this market, coming out as a furry may consist of written announcements, (e.g., "I am a furry", or acknowledgements of having a "fursona") or sufficient demonstration (e.g. video or photos of a qualifying team member wearing or owning a fursuit). Only one qualifying announcement or demonstration is required to resolve this market, and will qualify regardless of denial or denouncement. For example, a photo of a qualifying individual wearing a fursuit accompanied by the text "I am not a furry" would still qualify this market for a "Yes" resolution.

Only the coach and official members of the team will qualify; interim members, alumni, or stand-ins will not qualify.

The resolution source for this market will be statements from FaZe Counter-Strike 2 team members or their representatives, however a consensus of credible reporting may be considered.

Will any FaZe member come out as a furry by July 31?

Fnatic ceasing to exist as an independent entity through merger, consolidation, or similar transaction will qualify.

An announcement by Fnatic or its acquiring entity within this market's timeframe will qualify for a "Yes" resolution, regardless of whether or when the announced acquisition/merger actually occurs.

Announcements of partial sales may count, as long as the acquiring company acquires a controlling interest in Fnatic. A "controlling interest" refers to a change in ownership sufficient to control the company's strategic decisions (typically more than 50% of equity, or equivalent control via voting and governance rights). Transactions or investments that do not result in a transfer of controlling interest will not count.

The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from Fnatic and the acquiring entity; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
