This market will resolve according to the team winning 1st place at The International 2026 tournament, scheduled for August 13, 2026 - August 23, 2026. In the event of a tie, this market will resolve to the team whose listed name comes first alphabetically. If the winner of The International 2026 is not determined by September 6, 2026 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other". The resolution source for this market will be official information from Dotabuff (https://www.dotabuff.com). However, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
Multiple strong Dota 2 squads enter The International 2026 group stage in Shanghai with comparable recent form and roster stability, keeping implied probabilities tightly clustered around Team Vision, Team Yandex, BoomBoys, and defending champions Team Falcons. Vision and Yandex have posted dominant regular-season results in EEU competition, while BoomBoys and Falcons demonstrated momentum through late qualifiers and showings at prior majors. Depth from Aurora, 1w, and Team Spirit adds further parity, as historical TI volatility and patch adjustments reward adaptable lineups over any single favorite. Trader consensus reflects this balanced field rather than one standout side.
