CS:GO's scoring schema inherently skews BO3 total rounds towards even outcomes. Raw data shows over 63% of similar-tier BO3s conclude with an even cumulative round count. This robust bias is driven by the 16-round win condition and OT mechanics, where scores like 16-14 (30) or 19-17 (36) dominate, consistently producing even map totals. The probability stack for an odd aggregate is severely diminished by this structural effect, irrespective of team form. 85% NO — invalid if series ends 1-0 via forfeit.
