# XI Esport vs Sangal ALTERS: an old quote and a precise counting rule The old scheduled date has passed. The remaining contract concerns a specific map statistic and its exceptions. Canonical article: https://www.homeincomelab.com/stories/cs2-xi-sng-2026-04-17 Publisher: The Outlook By: [The Outlook editorial desk](https://www.homeincomelab.com/editorial) Category: Sports Analysis as of: 2026-10-04T10:30:51.735578Z Decision guide market prices observed: 2026-10-04T09:57:48.323Z Published: 2026-10-04T10:30:51.735578Z ## Quick answer The Counter-Strike: XI Esport vs Sangal ALTERS (BO3) fixture was dated April 17, 2026. An eligible Map 1 odd/even kills contract remains open in the October 4 data at 50% on each side. This is an outstanding-settlement explainer, not a preview of a future match. [1](https://polymarket.com/event/cs2-xi-sng-2026-04-17) ## Key takeaways - The surviving Map 1 price is evenly split, but that does not demonstrate a newly uncertain contest. Its original April fixture is long past, so the useful task is matching the historical map record to the outstanding contract. - Odd is supported only if the recognised combined kill count for Map 1 is an odd integer. For example, a hypothetical total of 101 would be odd and 102 would be even; these are illustrations, not reported match statistics. - A round score, winning team or combined deaths figure cannot safely substitute for the required count. Friendly-fire kills and self-inflicted deaths are excluded, while qualifying overtime kills are included.

An eligible Map 1 odd/even kills contract remains open in the October 4 data at 50% on each side. This is an outstanding-settlement explainer, not a preview of a future match. [1](https://polymarket.com/event/cs2-xi-sng-2026-04-17) For the exact contract “Map 1: Odd/Even Total Kills?”, our October 4 observation was Odd 50%; Even 50%. These are recorded contract prices, not an official result. The parent event’s cumulative volume was $140,390; that turnover includes other constituent contracts and is not the volume of this selection alone. [1](https://polymarket.com/event/cs2-xi-sng-2026-04-17) ## The detail that changes the question The surviving Map 1 price is evenly split, but that does not demonstrate a newly uncertain contest. Its original April fixture is long past, so the useful task is matching the historical map record to the outstanding contract. ## What would strengthen or weaken the case Odd is supported only if the recognised combined kill count for Map 1 is an odd integer. For example, a hypothetical total of 101 would be odd and 102 would be even; these are illustrations, not reported match statistics. A round score, winning team or combined deaths figure cannot safely substitute for the required count. Friendly-fire kills and self-inflicted deaths are excluded, while qualifying overtime kills are included. [1](https://polymarket.com/event/cs2-xi-sng-2026-04-17) ## The evidence that will settle it The contract counts both teams’ qualifying kills in Map 1, including overtime, then settles Odd or Even. If the map is remade, only the remade game counts. The designated record is HLTV; credible reporting can be used if it has no final result within two hours.

Cancellation, no kills, an unplayed map or delay beyond that window produces 50–50 under the rules. No settlement cause is inferred from the open API status.
