The 2026 Dota 2 season is in full swing, with qualifiers for major tournaments already being played as we speak. Different regions have started adapting to the meta in various ways in the Dota 2 pro scene, with some already performing better than others in 2026, with younger players outperforming veterans.
The Dota 2 competitive landscape is poised to shift in 2026, and some of the strongest teams from every region could lead the charge. Unfortunately, momentum does not last forever, despite the major successes regions have had in 2025; some of them are currently faltering and need to step up in 2026.
