The full list of teams participating in the 2026 Dota 2 International 15 Shanghai tournament has been released.

The 2026 Dota 2 International (TI15) qualifiers have concluded, and the list of 16 teams advancing to the main event in Shanghai has been officially confirmed.

This year, a total of 7 teams received direct invitations from Valve. Among them, 1win, Falcons, Liquid, BetBoom, and Yandex have all won S-level tournaments this year, making them the favorites to win this competition.

Aurora has secured a direct invitation thanks to its consistent runner-up finishes in multiple international competitions. Last year's runner-up, Xtreme Gaming, while experiencing some fluctuations in form this season, will also be playing at their home stadium in Shanghai.

The remaining nine spots were determined through regional qualifiers. This year, the Eastern and Western European regions merged, resulting in four spots, which were ultimately won by PARIVISION, Spirit, Nigma, and L1GA, who fought their way through the open qualifiers.

The Chinese region had two slots, and Vici Gaming, which boasts legendary players such as Faith_bian, XinQ, and y`, and Team Resilience successfully advanced.

In other regions, OG moved to Southeast Asia with an all-Filipino roster, returning to TI after four years; veteran club LGD acquired the former HEROIC roster and made it through the South American region; and GamerLegion secured the North American spot. Sixteen top teams will gather in Shanghai to compete for this year's Aegis of Champions.
