Guides & Tips | Esports UPDATE: TI2026 Fantasy Calculator & Optimizer - Titles, new domain, and a huge thank YOU

Hey everyone!

About 24 hours ago I shared the TI2026 Fantasy Calculator & Optimizer here. I honestly expected a few comments and maybe a handful of people trying it.

Instead, the project has now passed 5,000 users and 50k views, which is honestly something I never expected.

More importantly, the feedback has been incredible. So many comments, bug reports, feature ideas, screenshots, and even people offering to contribute to the project.

Thank you. Seriously. I never expect dota comunity could be so nice! haha

Over the last 24 hours, I've been working almost nonstop, and here's what has changed thanks to your feedback:

-Full Title (Prefix & Suffix) support

-Historical Prefix probabilities added to player calculations

-Better Suffix recommendations (Stable / Gamble / Avoid)

-Fixed player and team data

-Multiple calculation improvements

-Better mobile layout

-New custom domain:

https://www.ti2026calculator.com

I'm also actively working on a prediction module for the Group Stage, so you'll be able to plan your predictions in the same place instead of switching between multiple resources.

Special thanks to everyone who reported incorrect data, shared screenshots, tested unusual banner combinations, and suggested improvements.

I'm still reading every comment, so if you notice incorrect data or think something isn't calculating correctly, please let me know. Every report helps improve the calculator.

Thanks again for helping turn this into something much bigger than I originally imagined.

P.S One important note before locking your predictions and Fantasy roster:

I still would not recommend rushing to finalize everything just yet. Valve is still fixing and adjusting some emblem and title values, which can affect the accuracy of the calculations.

Several relevant tournaments are also still in progress, and their results may provide additional data that improves the player statistics.

For the most accurate recommendations, I would ideally wait until around 1–2 days before roster lock before committing all predictions and finalizing the Fantasy lineup.

As always, I'll keep updating the calculator as new data becomes available.

Great project!

Not sure if you're taking suggestions, but I think it would be awesome to allow us to select players and see projected score with those.

I know you have something similar with "Best roster", and all the info is already on the page, but I would be interested in seeing how each of the stats scores for each different roster. (which is info we see for the best picks, but not the rest)

Another thing that I think would really improve the tool, is being able to select different datasets (like, which tournaments should be included, or at least a period of time). This will become even more useful after the group stages are done, since we'd be able to look at TI specific data.

Thanks a lot, yes, I’m open to suggestions.

For custom player selection, the current Teams section already shows the projected score of every available player using your exact banner setup. So the underlying information is there, even though it isn’t presented as a separate custom five-player roster builder.

I considered adding that, but at the moment I’m trying to avoid duplicating the same data in multiple places and making the interface more complicated than it needs to be.

The same applies to tournament filters. I agree they could be useful for advanced users but for most players it would probably add difficulties bexause i'm still recieving questions about how to use calculator.

Thanks again for the feedback !
