The resolution source for this market will be official information from https://www.dotabuff.com. However, if https://www.dotabuff.com has not published final results within 2 hours after the event’s conclusion, a consensus of credible reporting may be used instead including video evidence. In cases where a team’s listed name includes minor discrepancies from the resolution source, this market will resolve based on the underlying real-world match rather than exact name matching. Recognizable abbreviations, alternate or erroneous spellings, sponsor tags, affiliate or academy designations, regional identifiers, and minor formatting differences will be treated as referring to the same team, provided the intended team can be clearly and uniquely identified within the relevant competition. If a listed team name has no reasonable connection to any participating team, or if it matches or could reasonably refer to another team in the same competition such that the intended team cannot be unambiguously determined, this market will resolve 50-50.
Team Yandex enters The International 2026 with a stable, high-caliber roster featuring watson, CHIRA_JUNIOR, DM, Saksa, and Malady, riding strong recent form that elevated them to world number one after a third-place EWC 2026 finish. Team Liquid counters with deep TI experience as two-time champions and consistent playoff pedigree, though their current ranking sits lower amid roster transitions. In their recent group-stage BO3, Liquid secured a 2-1 victory through superior execution and draft adaptation against Yandex's aggressive style. Playoff advancement hinges on map pool comfort, individual carry performances, and recovery from short turnarounds in Shanghai, where both sides hold realistic paths based on historical head-to-head trends and current momentum.
