The filed Game Changers Championship terms separate match format, map threshold and official results. Those definitions determine what evidence is relevant to settlement.
What the primary record establishes
The CFTC register lists a PROPHX filing for VALORANT Game Changers Championship map-total contracts as Certified on 19 October 2026. The attached question asks whether more than a specified number of maps will be played in an identified match and year. CFTC product filing 65483 — PROPHX VALORANT map totals, 19 October 2026 ↗
The terms count completed maps and identify thresholds of 2.5 for best-of-three matches and 3.5 or 4.5 for best-of-five matches. Riot is the primary results source; Liquipedia is a secondary reference under the stated availability conditions, with the primary source governing a conflict.

What the distinction changes
A round is not a map. Overtime can extend a map without increasing the number of completed maps. For a more-than-2.5 condition, three qualifying completed maps cross the threshold; two do not. This is arithmetic applied to the wording, not a forecast of any team’s performance.
The specified match and format must therefore remain attached to the quoted contract. A result from another stage, year or fixture is not interchangeable even if the same teams appear. A live scoreboard may be useful context without being the final authoritative record.
What to check before drawing a conclusion
The filing also provides circumstances for voiding and returning collateral. Where no official result is available, a reader should consult those provisions rather than assume the last traded price becomes the settlement value. Procedures are specific to this product.
WFN’s conclusion is operational: collect the official completed-map result, then apply the exact threshold and exception rules. Registry status and market prices do not themselves establish the sporting result or remove the possibility of a contractual void.
