This market will resolve to the player with the highest total number of deaths across the 2026 Esports World Cup (EWC) Dota 2 tournament, held July 7–19, 2026 in Paris, France, summed across all of their completed official games (group stage, survival/gauntlet stage, and playoffs). If two or more players are tied on total deaths, the market resolves to the tied player who accumulated those deaths in fewer games; if still tied, the player whose team achieved the worse final tournament placement. If a player not individually listed as an outcome finishes with the highest death total, or if the tournament is cancelled, postponed past August 2, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or not determined within that timeframe, this market will resolve to "Other." The primary resolution source for this market will be Dotabuff (https://www.dotabuff.com). A consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
