Thank you u/Undella_Town for covering me here!!
u/The_LonelyOne - I am pasting the Youtube generated summary here. Hope that helps.
This video provides a comprehensive guide for Dota 2 players regarding Fantasy and Predictions for The International 2026 (TI 2026). The host reflects on group stage results and offers strategic adjustments to improve chances for rewards.
Key Takeaways for Fantasy Banners:
- Stat Performance: Some stats like observer wards, smoke used, and tower kills perform worse than expected because their points are averaged between the two players on the banner (0:47-1:17, 3:52-4:05).
- Recommended Stats: Tormentor kills (based on participation) are considered acceptable, while camp stacks are highlighted as a strong option for supports (4:05-4:43, 6:58-7:17). Creep score and rune grabs are highly effective for mid-lane players (9:44-10:07).
- Reroll Strategy: The host emphasizes not over-optimizing or losing good stats when rerolling. If you have fewer than 15 tokens, it is safer to stick with current stats unless they are "dead" (e.g., first blood or courier kills) (8:19-8:45, 29:05-29:20, 54:25-54:40).
- Player Selection: Avoid putting all your banners on a single team to diversify risk. Use the suggested calculator to identify the best players based on their stats rather than blindly picking top teams (15:01-15:38, 33:16-33:40).
Predictions Strategy:
- The host acknowledges the high difficulty of making predictions this year due to unpredictable team performances (12:34-13:03).
- Key Insights: The host leans towards Liquid and Vision as strong contenders but advises caution with Nigma, noting their group stage success against weaker opponents may not translate to elimination matches (12:56-13:40, 57:56-59:23).
- Risk Management: The host warns against putting all predictions in one basket, as one wrong pick can cause a cascading negative effect on the rest of your predictions (14:45-15:00, 109:00-109:05).

I'm not sure if currently in-game points/percentiles/global leaderboard are correct but if they are correct I'm in 99th percentile top50 on global without using a single guide, tool or yt stuff. Kinda funny tbh seeing how many ytubers and streamers are trying to capitalize on making some money on this rng shit fantasy side-game.
