This market will resolve to "Yes" if Jake "Boaster" Howlett officially announces his retirement from professional VALORANT play by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
To resolve "Yes", the announcement must clearly state that Boaster is retiring from professional VALORANT play as a player. Professional VALORANT play includes the VCT international leagues, VCT Challengers, and any other professional VALORANT competition; an announcement that Boaster is leaving a specific team or league while continuing to compete professionally elsewhere will not qualify. The announcement must come from Boaster himself or his official representatives. Announcements of a break, hiatus, benching, or move to an inactive roster will not qualify unless they clearly state that Boaster's departure from professional play is permanent. An announcement that Boaster is moving to a coaching, content, or other non-playing role will qualify only if it clearly states that he is retiring from professional play as a player.
The retirement must be intended to take effect immediately or prior to the start of the next VCT season following the announcement. An announcement made in 2026 that is intended to take effect before the start of the 2027 VCT season will qualify.
The qualifying announcement itself must be made by December 31, 2026, 11:59 PM ET. Reporting or clarification published on or before January 14, 2027, 11:59 PM ET may be used to establish that a qualifying announcement was made within that window; a qualifying announcement first established after that time will not count.
The primary resolution source for this market will be official statements from Boaster; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
