The International 2026 Group Stage

The International 2025 is the biggest and most prestigious Dota 2 tournament of the year, and Team Falcons comes in as last year’s winner. Ammar “ATF” Al-Assaf and his teammates will be looking to become the 2nd back-to-back champion, but it won’t be easy. Falcons have to go up against the likes of Team Yandex, PARIVISION and BetBoom Team, all of which come from the strongest Dota 2 region and are eager to lift this year’s Aegis.

People looking to bet on Dota 2 should pay close attention to all Group Stage matches. The first two days will give people an overall idea of what they can expect from the participating teams. Pay special attention to major clashes between the European giants, as they are the main favorites to win The International 2026. We have one Swiss-system group for all teams, with Bo3 games, so expect comebacks and new tactics we have not seen before.
