The post-The International 2026 roster shuffle has driven extensive Dota 2 team changes, with Team Spirit (winners of their third Aegis) promoting Batyuk and Illidan in September, Team Liquid completing moves by adding Wisper and Malr1ne after Ace and Nisha departed, BetBoom shifting Save- to mid with swedenstrong incoming, PlayTime finalizing an international lineup including KJ and bottega in mid-October, and Team Tidebound returning with a veteran core under xiao8. Falcons' September disbandment released high-profile players like skiter, ATF, and Malr1ne into the market. Most Tier 1 squads have now locked rosters ahead of PARI Universe (starting October 22) and BLAST SLAM IX, though underperformance in these or DreamLeague Season 30 events before year-end could trigger further positional or coaching adjustments amid ongoing contract and form evaluations.
