Stake Pulse Beat I: 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 to "Yes" if Justinas "jL" Lekavičius is listed or announced as an official analyst (Analyst / Desk Analyst / Pundit or equivalent) for any Counter-Strike tournament classified as S-Tier, at any time on or before December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

The analyst role must be verified through at least one of the following sources: Liquipedia tournament page, HLTV.org tournament page, or an official announcement from the tournament organizer.

S-Tier tournament definition: A tournament is considered S-Tier if it appears on Liquipedia (https://liquipedia.net/counterstrike/Valve_Tier_1_Events) and is marked as S-Tier at the time of verification. Cancelled events do not count.

Note: Being listed/announced in other roles (host/interviewer/caster) or as a guest does not qualify. An announcement/listing as an analyst is sufficient for "Yes"; on-broadcast appearance is not required.

If none of the above sources list or announce jL as an analyst for an S-Tier CS tournament by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "No".

The primary resolution source for this market will be Liquipedia's Valve Tier 1 Events page (https://liquipedia.net/counterstrike/Valve_Tier_1_Events).

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.

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.).
