This market will resolve to the listed hero picked the most times during The International 2026 (TI 15), scheduled for August 13 – August 23, 2026 in Shanghai, China. Only completed games will be considered for the purposes of this market, including forfeits in games that start. In the case of a tie, this market will resolve to the hero with the higher win percentage. In case a tie persists, this market will resolve to the hero with higher ban rate. In case a tie still persists, the market will resolve to the hero whose name comes first alphabetically. If a match does not complete for any reason, it will not be considered for the purposes of this market. If the competition is cancelled, postponed after September 6, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or the results of The International 2026 are not determined within that timeframe, this market will resolve to "Other". The resolution source for this market will be official information from Dotabuff. However, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Recent Dota 2 balance patches ahead of The International 2026 have reshaped hero viability, with targeted nerfs to previously dominant carries like Tiny and Kez alongside adjustments to others, preventing any single hero from establishing clear dominance in pro play. Qualifier data and regional trends show distributed pick rates across roles, while the large viable pool and evolving team strategies keep outcomes competitive. Trader consensus reflects this uncertainty through bunched probabilities near 50% for leading options and lower for specialists, as no hero has pulled away based on recent form or patch impact. The fluid pre-tournament meta, combined with roster experimentation, sustains the tight race among dozens of contenders.
