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.

If Vitality is tied in points with the 1st-place team, resolution follows HLTV's displayed ranking position. If HLTV displays Vitality at position 2 despite the tie, this resolves "Yes".

If no such appearance is observed by June 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, the market will resolve to "No" based on HLTV's Valve Ranking page. If the page is unavailable at that time and remains unavailable until July 10, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "No".

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.

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.
