According to insider rumors, The International 2026 could be the final tournament for the current Team Falcons roster. There has been no official confirmation yet, but if the rumors prove true, Dota 2 will lose one of the strongest lineups of recent years.
At the upcoming The International, six players have a chance to rewrite Dota 2 history. Yatoro, Collapse, Mira, skiter, Sneyking, and 33 have already won the biggest tournament of the year twice, but now each of them could become the first three-time TI champion as a player.
Team Falcons beat Xtreme Gaming 2–0 in their Esports World Cup Group Stage match, turning one of Group A’s stronger fixtures into a clean result. The series highlighted the main difference between the teams’ recent form: Falcons were able to control the tempo and convert their advantages, while Xtreme again struggled to create the stable game state they usually need.
Falcons look more stable and are better at turning advantages into wins. Xtreme can put up a fight if they slow the game down, protect Ame’s farm, and reach the late game.
