This market refers to the Counter-Strike match between FOKUS and Acend in the Esports World Cup Open Qualifier Play-Ins, initially scheduled for August 9 at 5:00AM ET. This market is decided solely by the total number of rounds played within Map 3 of this match (the combined round score of both teams on that single map), and is independent of which team wins Map 3 or the overall match.
This market will resolve to "Over" if the combined number of rounds played by both teams on Map 3, including any overtime, is greater than 21.5. This market will resolve to "Under" if the combined number of rounds played is less than 21.5. If the combined number of rounds played is exactly 21.5, this market will resolve 50-50.
Map 3 must be played to completion, with a final round score determined by rounds actually played, for this market to resolve to "Over" or "Under". If Map 3 is completed in this way, the market resolves on that round total regardless of how the remainder of the match concludes (including any later forfeit, disqualification, walkover, or default). If Map 3 is not played at all, is not played to completion, or is decided by forfeit, disqualification, walkover, or default rather than by rounds played to a conclusion, this market will resolve 50-50. If the match is canceled, or is delayed beyond 7 days from the scheduled date without Map 3 being completed, this market will resolve 50-50.

The team posted a clean 2-0 qualifier win over Partizan but struggled against higher-tier opponents like MOUZ and HEROIC in recent BLAST and StarLadder events. Acend, ranked #39 and fielding an all-Bulgarian lineup of SPELLAN, KalubeR, REDSTAR, h4rn, and Skrimo with coach milky, arrives with stronger recent qualifier momentum including 2-0 and 2-1 victories. Both squads sit near parity in Valve and HLTV rankings, with Acend showing slightly elevated player ratings; the closely contested BO3 will hinge on map execution, recent form in open qualifiers, and any late roster adjustments ahead of the August 9 matchup.
