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.Hoodwink leads the market at 59.5% implied probability as the most-picked hero at The International 2026, driven by its dominant performance in regional qualifiers where it recorded the highest overall pick count (around 60-67 appearances). As a versatile soft support, Hoodwink benefits from strong pro-meta positioning in the current patch, offering high contest rates, evasion tools, damage amplification, and flexible laning that teams favor in draft stages. Recent qualifier data shows it outpacing options like Mirana or Windranger in volume, reinforcing trader consensus on its sustained popularity heading into the main event. Lower probabilities for heroes such as Bane (33.5%), Io (33%), and Centaur Warrunner (31.5%) reflect more limited roles or situational appeal, while broader fields remain fragmented pending further balance adjustments or group-stage trends.
