A favourite can lose an individual map and still win the match; the opposite distinction also matters when reading live updates. - The supporting case is Legacy completing two map wins in the listed best-of-three. The correct evidence is the final series score and any organiser ruling affecting the result. - A ShindeN series win would defeat the Legacy proposition. The underdog does not need to lead aggregate kills or every round; it needs the qualifying match result. ## The comparison behind the headline Counter-Strike: ShindeN vs Legacy (BO3) is the named best-of-three in this contract.
