Team Spirit won The International 2026 in Shanghai as only the fifth-ranked club of the field by our season table, and it is now the only club with three TI titles, after 2021 and 2023. It went 19–10 in maps over the event and beat PARIVISION, the leader of the season table, in the final.
The $1,660,200 first prize is the richest title of the season and 42.2% of everything Spirit earned in it. The pool, $3,906,263, was 35.5% larger than in 2025, though still far below the $40,018,195 of 2021.
The defending champion, Team Falcons, finished seventh to eighth. The surprise of the top four was BoomBoys, a club outside our season table, which finished fourth and took $234,400, ahead of Nigma Galaxy and Team Liquid.
