BLAST Open Porto 2026: Winner

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Mathieu "ZywOo" Herbaut's Total HLTV MVP award count reaches 36 or more at any point on or before December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, as shown in the MVP overview table within the Trophies section of his HLTV.org player page. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

Note: as of market creation (May 22, 2026), ZywOo's HLTV profile lists 32 Total MVPs.

This market may resolve to "No" when it becomes impossible for ZywOo to reach 36 Total MVPs by the deadline (e.g., if no remaining tournaments in 2026 could bring his count to 36).

This market will resolve to "No" if ZywOo's Total MVP count has not reached 36 by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. 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.

Will ZywOo reach 36 HLTV MVP awards by December 31, 2026?

This market will resolve "Yes" if the listed team qualifies for the Counter-Strike 2 main event at the Esports World Cup 2026. Otherwise, this market will resolve "No".

A team that is officially placed into the 32-team main-event field by any recognized qualification pathway resolves "Yes". A team that fails to secure a main-event berth, or that is eliminated in a qualifier without earning a spot, resolves "No". If a qualified team withdraws and is replaced, the team actually included in the main-event field is the one that counts.

If the EWC 2026 CS2 main event is canceled or the field is not finalized, this market will resolve "No".

The primary resolution source will be official information from the Esports World Cup Foundation (https://esportsworldcup.com) and the tournament organizer, supported by Liquipedia (https://liquipedia.net/counterstrike); however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.

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.
