So the determination of your bet is entirely hinged on the correct intepretation of "If a player or team receives a walkover, win by admin decision, or forfeits on at least one map, all wagers on the map and on the series (moneyline, spread, and total) will be canceled and wagers refunded."
I agree with the others posted above that the correct interpretation is that a player here refers a player in a solo or 1v1 event. It does not apply for a player in a team event.
I will now give my reasoining on why that is the correct interpretation.
"If a player or team receives a walkover, win by admin decision, or forfeits on at least one map, all wagers on the map and on the series (moneyline, spread, and total) will be canceled and wagers refunded." is equivalent to saying that
All wagers on the map and on the series (moneyline, spread, and total) will be canceled and wagers refunded if either
a) a player receives a walkover, win by admin decision, or forfeits on at least one map, or
b) a team receives a walkover, win by admin decision, or forfeits on at least one map
A player in a team event cannot receive a walkover or win by admin decision so clause (a) does not make sense in that scenario. Clause (a) makes sense in the context of a player playing in a 1v1 event so "a player" refers to a player in a 1v1 event and does not apply to a player in a team event. In your case, it is a team event (5v5) and not a 1v1 event, so clause (a) does not apply and only clause (b) applies and as a team did not receive a walkover, win by admin decision or forfeits on at least one map, this rule is not applicable.
