Knockout matches:
GL vs. OG—I see GL
as the clear favorite here; TR vs. Xtreme—based on all their previous matches, TR has looked more interesting, but anything can happen in a Chinese derby
Another match features two 2-2
teams: VG vs. LGD. I really don’t like how passively VG is playing. LGD will have the initiative on the maps, but they might make a lot of mistakes. I’m backing LGD here <...>
The group stage of The International 2026 will run through August 16. According to the format, teams with four losses are eliminated from the competition, while those with four wins advance directly to the playoffs. The remaining teams will play decisive matches to determine their standings.
