This market tracks which organization, Team Heretics or Gentle Mates, secures victory on the first map of their VALORANT competitive match. It serves as a focused indicator of early-series momentum and tactical preparation between these two rosters.
Team Heretics and Gentle Mates are prominent participants in the EMEA VALORANT circuit, frequently competing at the highest level of professional play. Map 1 results are often heavily influenced by the teams' respective map pools, veto strategies, and the ability to execute prepared set-plays immediately following the draft phase.
The market prices reflect the collective assessment of each team's likelihood to win the opening map based on their current form and map-specific efficiency.
The market resolves based on the official final score of the first map played during the scheduled series between Team Heretics and Gentle Mates.
Winning the first map provides significant momentum and a psychological advantage, which can often dictate the pace of the subsequent maps in a best-of-three or best-of-five format.
Map vetoes are critical; if a team is forced to play a map where they historically struggle, their chances of winning Map 1 decrease significantly.
Market resolution typically follows the official completion of the match; delays generally shift the event window rather than nullifying the market unless the match is officially cancelled.
The official map selection is announced by the tournament organizers immediately following the veto phase, just before the match begins.
