This market will resolve to the team that uses the most unique heroes across The International 2026 (TI 2026) Dota 2 tournament, held August 13–23, 2026 in Shanghai, China. A team's "hero pool" is the set of distinct heroes that team drafts and plays across all of its completed official games at TI 2026. A hero counts once toward a team's pool no matter how many times that team picks it, and regardless of which player on the team plays it. Only completed official games count (group stage, playoff/main event, and any tiebreaker games). Heroes picked in a game that is remade or not completed do not count from that game, but count if picked by the team in any other completed game. Regional and open qualifier games played prior to the main tournament do not count. If two or more teams are tied for the most unique heroes, the market resolves to the tied team that played the fewer number of total games at the tournament. If teams remain tied on both unique heroes and total games played, the market resolves to the tied team with the higher final tournament placement. If a tie still persists, the market will resolve to the team that comes first alphabetically. If the tournament is cancelled, postponed past September 6, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or the results are not determined within that timeframe, this market will also resolve to "Other." The primary resolution source for this market will be Datdota (https://www.datdota.com). A consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Several Dota 2 squads enter TI 2026 in Shanghai with comparably broad hero pools that support flexible drafting in the post-7.41e meta. LGD Gaming’s TaiLung stands out for recent experimentation across Puck, Viper, Ember Spirit, Pangolier, and Storm Spirit, delivering the widest individual pool at BLAST Slam VII. Team Spirit has expanded Larl’s mid-lane options with Earth Spirit and Primal Beast alongside core comfort picks, while teams such as Team Vision, Yandex, and Aurora show similar adaptability in qualifiers. This parity, combined with limited pre-tournament data and rapid patch-driven shifts, keeps implied probabilities tightly clustered around 24–25% across most contenders and sustains the competitive equilibrium reflected in current trader consensus.
