**Roster stability across most of the 16-team field underpins the 60% trader consensus favoring no stand-ins at TI 2026.** Invited squads maintained consistent lineups through regional qualifiers and recent LAN events such as EWC and PGL Wallachia, preserving map execution and synergy ahead of the Swiss group stage. Organizers enforce strict roster registration and competitive-integrity rules that limit emergency substitutions outside documented cases, with historical precedent showing few instances of stand-ins reaching official matches. Recent developments, including a high-profile ban forcing one team to integrate a replacement midlaner days before the event, represent isolated exceptions rather than a broader trend, leaving the majority of squads unaffected and supporting the current implied probability reflected in market pricing.

This market will resolve "Yes" if at least one team fields a stand-in (substitute) player for one or more official matches at The International 2026 (TI 15), scheduled for August 13, 2026 to August 23, 2026, in Shanghai, China. Otherwise, this market will resolve "No".
For the purpose of this market, a "stand-in" means any player who competes in an official TI 2026 match (Group Stage, Elimination Round, or Main Event) who is not listed as a member of that team's active roster on the team's page on Liquipedia (https://liquipedia.net/dota2) as of the start of The International 2026. This includes emergency substitutes, loaned players, or coaches/staff playing in place of a rostered player.
Any single official match in which a team fields at least one stand-in is sufficient for this market to resolve "Yes". The stand-in must actually play in a match that begins; a player being registered or named as a backup but never playing does not count.
If The International 2026 is canceled, or no official matches are played, this market will resolve "No".
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from Valve and Liquipedia (https://liquipedia.net/dota2/The_International/2026); however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.**Roster stability across most of the 16-team field underpins the 60% trader consensus favoring no stand-ins at TI 2026.** Invited squads maintained consistent lineups through regional qualifiers and recent LAN events such as EWC and PGL Wallachia, preserving map execution and synergy ahead of the Swiss group stage.
