The International 2026: Team With the Widest Hero Pool

Polymarket

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.
