Anyone in the crowd to get a knife from a case during playoffs?

This market will resolve to "YES" if at least one physically present audience member opens a CS2 weapon case and receives a knife during IEM Cologne Major 2026 playoffs, and the qualifying case opening is shown on the official ESL CS live broadcast or VOD. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "NO."

For the purposes of this market, the qualifying person must be physically present in the audience area at the playoff venue and must be the person participating in the case opening from which the knife is obtained.

Case openings involving online or remote viewers, professional players, casters, hosts, or other on-stage participants will not qualify. A case opening performed by an on-stage participant will not qualify even if the resulting knife is subsequently given to a physically present audience member.

Items received through giveaways, direct transfers, trades, or any other method that does not involve opening a CS2 weapon case will not qualify. Pre-recorded videos, YouTube clips, social media content, or other footage of a case opening that did not occur live at the playoff venue during the qualifying period will not count, even if shown on the official ESL CS broadcast or VOD.

IEM Cologne Major 2026 playoffs are currently scheduled for June 18–21, 2026.

A qualifying case opening must be publicly visible on the official ESL CS broadcast or VOD. Social media claims, audience recordings, or other anecdotal reports that are not shown on the official broadcast or VOD will not qualify.

If IEM Cologne Major 2026 playoffs are canceled before they start, this market will resolve to "NO."

If the official ESL CS broadcast and VODs are unavailable or insufficient to verify whether a qualifying case opening occurred by June 30, 2026, 23:59 UTC, this market will resolve to "NO."

If IEM Cologne Major 2026 playoffs are canceled after they start, or postponed/rescheduled to a restart date later than June 30, 2026, this market will resolve based on qualifying case openings shown on the official ESL CS broadcast or VODs before the cancellation/postponement.
