DM vs PARIVISION: Bookmakers name the top favorites for Esports World Cup 2026

Today

5 min.

Bookmakers have released the outright winner odds for the upcoming Esports World Cup 2026, with Team Yandex and PARIVISION emerging as the tournament favorites after winning several recent championships.

Former PARIVISION offlaner Dmitry DM Dorokhin officially joined Yandex just a month and a half ago, despite already playing with the team at several events, including title-winning runs at BLAST SLAM VII and PGL Wallachia Season 7.

Rounding out the top three are the reigning Esports World Cup 2025 champions Team Spirit, who recently welcomed Yaroslav Miposhka Naydenov back as their assistant coach. With his help, the team comfortably qualified for The International 2026.

The former Tundra Esports roster, which was sold to 1Win after the organization exited the professional Dota 2 scene, received a mid-tier rating.

One of the biggest surprises was Team Liquid, which was placed only 8th-9th despite consistently finishing in the top four at recent tournaments and winning BLAST SLAM VI.

The biggest outsiders are L1GA Team, Inner Circle, Team Nemesis, MOUZ and Rune Eaters. All of them, except MOUZ, qualified for the tournament through regional qualifiers.

Bookmakers also assigned relatively low odds to OG, for whom this tournament will be the first with their updated roster. Following the departure of Alexander TORONTOTOKYO Khertek, Mark Polo Raven Luis Fausto became the team's new offlaner, helping OG qualify for TI15 after defeating every opponent in the Southeast Asian qualifiers.
