Team Yandex enters this best-of-three playoff matchup at The International 2026 with strong recent momentum, having swept Team Liquid 2-0 in the upper bracket quarterfinals after advancing through the group stage. The CIS squad has posted a high win rate and multiple series victories over strong opposition in 2026 events, including prior 2-0 wins against Team Spirit at BLAST SLAM VI and the Esports World Cup. Team Spirit, a perennial contender with deep TI experience and an undefeated stretch in the TI group stage that included victories over Liquid and Aurora Gaming, faces the task of resetting after any bracket setbacks while leveraging its established core and consistent execution. Recent head-to-head results favor Yandex, though both teams remain capable of adapting drafts and strategies in high-stakes BO3 formats where individual map execution often decides series outcomes.

This market will resolve to "Team Yandex" if Team Yandex win the match against Team Spirit.
This market will resolve to "Team Spirit" if Team Spirit win the match against Team Yandex.
If the match is canceled (not played at all) or ends in a tie, this market will resolve to 50-50.
If the match is postponed, it must be rescheduled to a start time on or before September 5, 2026 at 11:59 PM ET (14 calendar days after the originally scheduled start of August 22, 2026 at 10:00 PM ET). If, by that deadline, the most recently announced rescheduled start time is on or before the deadline, this market resolves based on the result of the match as played. Otherwise, this market resolves 50-50, regardless of whether the match is subsequently played.
If the match begins but is not completed, and one team wins due to the opponent's forfeiture, disqualification, or walkover, this market will resolve to the team who wins.
If the match ends in a forfeit, disqualification, or walkover (team withdraws before the start and the other wins automatically), this market will resolve to 50-50.
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.
