Commentator and analyst Khaled “sQreen” El-Habbash named the top contenders for victory at The International 2026 on the FONBET Telegram channel, highlighted the team he considers the tournament’s “dark horse,” and revealed which team he would agree to play for as a substitute.
Unless there are major changes, the most consistent teams in this patch are Pvision and Team Yandex. I think one of them has a real shot, especially PV, because Satanic is playing at an unreal level.
I think it’ll be OG. They’re hardworking guys who can prepare well for the tournament and stick to their meta and playstyle.
If I were still playing at the pro level, I’d join Team Spirit because I have a lot of respect for Yatoro and Collapse as players.
Earlier, Khaled commented on the Esports World Cup 2026 Dota 2 playoff bracket on his personal Telegram channel, calling the organizers’ decision to match PARIVISION and Team Yandex in the upper bracket semifinals a poor one.
