Resolution criteria on PolyGram: This market will resolve to "Yes" if Karrigan, the professional Counter-Strike player, announces his retirement from professional competitive esports by June 30, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No". An announcement from Karrigan that he is retiring will qualify even if his official retirement has not yet occurred. Breaks, periods of inactivity, transitions to another game, or transitions to streaming will not count unless Karrigan explicitly announces his retirement from professional competitive esports. The resolution source will be official announcements from Karrigan; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
PolyGram is an on-chain prediction market where you trade YES or NO outcome shares with real USDC on Polygon. For this market, buy YES if you believe the event will happen, or NO if you think it won't. Your maximum loss is your stake — winning shares pay $1.00 each at resolution. Unlike sportsbooks, there is no house edge: prices are set by supply and demand from other traders and reflect the crowd's real-time probability.
Market outcomes
| Will Karrigan retire by June 30? | 3% YES | 97% NO |
Karrigan, the Danish in-game leader for FaZe Clan, would need to announce his retirement from professional Counter-Strike competition before 30 June 2026 for this market to resolve affirmatively. The current order book on Polymarket prices this outcome at 3% implied probability, reflecting strong market consensus that retirement within the next eighteen months remains unlikely.
Professional Counter-Strike players typically retire in their early thirties, often citing burnout, declining reflexes, or family considerations. Karrigan is currently 31 years old and has maintained consistent competitive performance through 2024 and into 2025, competing at major tournaments including ESL Pro League and Intel Extreme Masters events. Historical precedent suggests players at his experience level and age occasionally announce retirements with limited warning, though most continue competing through their mid-thirties if results remain competitive. The low probability reflects his recent contract renewal with FaZe Clan and continued participation in the professional circuit.
Traders should monitor FaZe Clan's roster announcements, major tournament results, and any public statements from Karrigan regarding his future plans. Significant performance decline, injury, or organisational changes could shift expectations. Announcements typically emerge through official team channels or Karrigan's social media accounts. The settlement window extends through mid-2026, providing visibility across two additional Major championships and multiple international competitions where his competitive status would become evident.
Resolution is handled by the UMA optimistic oracle on Polygon. A proposer submits the outcome, a two-hour dispute window opens, and if no one stakes a counter-claim the payout is final. Contested outcomes escalate to UMA token-holder voting. Payouts clear in USDC to the winning side.
The mechanics for trading "Will Karrigan retire by June 30?" are the same as any other PolyGram sporting event contract. Each YES share resolves to $1 if the event happens, or $0 if it doesn't. The current price between 0¢ and 100¢ is the market's probability estimate, set live by the order book.
$2K in lifetime turnover and $2K of resting liquidity puts this market in the below the median by volume for sports contracts on PolyGram. Order-book depth is thin — large orders may need to be split across the book or executed as limit orders.
The market has been open for 3 months — the price has had time to stabilise as new information arrived.
Higher-volume markets tend to have tighter spreads and faster price discovery — meaning the displayed YES/NO percentages are more likely to reflect the true crowd-implied probability rather than a single trader's directional view.
