Batru's coverage of pro Dota is data, not commentary: pick/ban statistics and calibrated draft analysis from the same model that powers our predictor. Draft-level receipts for EWC series — what the model said about each draft next to what actually happened — are in the works for this hub; in the meantime the tools below run on the full current meta.
Group stage (July 7–12): 24 teams split into four round-robin groups of six, playing two-game series. Group winners advanced straight to the playoffs; second through fourth place dropped into the Survival stage.
Survival stage (July 14–15): a gauntlet for the twelve second-to-fourth-place teams, deciding the remaining playoff slots.
Playoffs (July 16–19): single elimination at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles, capped by a best-of-five grand final on July 19.
The event carried a $2,000,000 prize pool as part of the Esports World Cup's $75 million total, and stands as the successor to the Riyadh Masters series — played in Paris in 2026 while the rest of the festival ran in Riyadh.
