This market will resolve according to the region of the team that wins The International 2026 (TI 15), scheduled for August 13, 2026 to August 23, 2026, in Shanghai, China. Each team's region is determined by the region under which it is listed on Liquipedia's Dota 2 Teams Portal (https://liquipedia.net/dota2/Portal:Teams) as of the conclusion of the event. The recognized regions are those used on that page: Europe, CIS, China, Southeast Asia, North America, and South America. This market resolves to the region under which the team that wins the Grand Final is listed on the Teams Portal. If the winning team is not listed on the Teams Portal, its region will be determined by the regional affiliation on the team's own Liquipedia page. If The International 2026 is canceled or no champion is crowned by September 6, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other." The primary resolution source will be Liquipedia's Dota 2 Teams Portal (https://liquipedia.net/dota2/Portal:Teams); a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
Eastern Europe & CIS teams hold the strongest implied probability at 75.5% for The International 2026 title, driven by multiple high-caliber squads including PARIVISION (competing as Team Vision), Team Yandex, and Team Spirit. These squads have posted dominant recent form in DreamLeague Season 29 and the Esports World Cup, securing early playoff qualification and top seeding in the Shanghai group stage. Western Europe sits at 21.5% amid thinner depth, while China (2.9%) and other regions trail due to inconsistent results against European opposition. Trader consensus reflects the region's historical edge in major Dota 2 events and current roster stability heading into playoffs.
