This market will resolve to the listed hero banned the most times during The International 2026 (TI 2026), originally scheduled for August 13 – August 23, 2026. Only completed games will be considered for the purposes of this market, including forfeits in games that start. A ban does not count if the game does not start. In the case of a tie, this market will resolve to the hero with the higher win percentage. In case a tie persists, this market will resolve to the hero with the higher pick rate. In case a tie still persists, this market will resolve to the hero whose name comes first alphabetically. If a game does not complete for any reason, it will not be considered for the purposes of this market. If the competition is cancelled, postponed after September 6, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or the results of The International 2026 are not determined within that timeframe, this market will resolve to "Other." The resolution source for this market will be official information from Liquipedia. However, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Treant Protector's unprecedented contest rate at The International 2026 drives the market's near-certain pricing, with the hero appearing in every group-stage draft and earning bans in 101 of 109 matches. Post-Patch 7.41e adjustments diminished alternatives like Lone Druid, leaving the hard support's Living Armor and Leech Seed kit as the dominant force in pro drafts, reflected in its 88% win rate on the rare occasions it slipped through. Trader consensus reflects this established meta dominance across recent form and head-to-head patterns, though later playoff stages or further balance tweaks could theoretically elevate secondary options like Keeper of the Light or Earth Spirit if ban priorities shift.
