This market will resolve to the new hero Valve announces at The International 2026 (TI 15), scheduled for August 13, 2026 to August 23, 2026, in Shanghai, China. If Valve announces more than one new hero, this market will resolve to "Other". If The International 2026 is canceled or postponed beyond September 6, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve to "Other". The resolution source for this market will be official information from Valve Corporation via official Dota 2 channels; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Valve's traditionally opaque development cycle for Dota 2 heroes fuels tight trader consensus around the TI 2026 announcement market. Datamining since late 2025 has repeatedly flagged files for Arjun (also referenced as Arjuna), a potential chariot-riding archer inspired by mythology, appearing on test servers alongside other concepts like Bartfrog. No official confirmation ties any specific hero to the event, however, and Valve has historically aligned major reveals with TI patches or Crownfall-style events rather than guaranteeing them. This uncertainty—combined with possibilities of a different hero, delayed rollout, or none at all—keeps implied probabilities clustered near even levels as the esports community awaits clearer signals from upcoming patches or roster updates ahead of the tournament.
