THIS IS THE INTERNATIONAL 2026!
Every year, millions of Dota 2 players queue for another match. Another draft. Another comeback. Another late-night grind with teammates spread across the world. Hours become days. Days become seasons. Seasons become years. For many, it all leads to this single destination.
While it once became synonymous with record-breaking prize pools, today’s pursuit has evolved into something even greater – Legacy. Because long after the prize money has been spent, history remembers those who lifted the Aegis. For 2026, it’s going to be in Shanghai, China.
Built for The International. Designed Beyond the Arena.
It is within this spirit that LOVE ARMY® proudly introduces the official The International 2026 x LOVE ARMY Capsule Collection, marking the beginning of an exciting collaboration with Valve through its legendary Dota 2 franchise.
For us, this collection represents far more than official Dota 2 merchandise. It is our tribute to the culture that has inspired us for years.
Designed around this year’s host city of Shanghai, the capsule brings together premium esports streetwear, elevated gaming apparel, and thoughtful craftsmanship through four signature pieces: the TI2026 Aegis Hoodie, TI2026 Varsity Jacket, the Wave of the Tidehunter Hawaiian Shirt, and the Red Heroes Letterfield Shirt. Each piece reflects the identity of The International while remaining true to LOVE ARMY’s philosophy of creating apparel meant to be worn beyond the arena. Photos to be posted up really soon!
Available in Shanghai and Worldwide
The collection will debut during The International 2026 in Shanghai through Perfect World, making it available to fans attending the event across China. Worldwide pre-orders will begin on August 15, with international deliveries starting in the second half of September 2026, allowing the global Dota 2 community to be part of this historic release.
As designers, this collaboration represents one of the proudest moments in our journey. As gamers, it means even more.
More Than Dota 2
Many of us at LOVE ARMY have spent years playing Dota 2 ourselves, since Dota (1) and Closed Beta. We’ve celebrated impossible comebacks, endured heartbreaking defeats, argued over roles and drafts, and stayed up far later than we should have for “just one more game” to cover the pain of a losing streak. Like millions around the world, we’ve grown up with this game and watched The International become one of esports’ most iconic stages.
Our mission has always been to build meaningful products for passionate communities. Esports simply feels like one of those homes. To now contribute to that story through official wearables and merchandise is something we don’t take lightly, and truly honored for. This TI collection is about celebrating the game, the players, and the community that made moments like this possible.
Here’s to another chapter in Dota history.
See you in Shanghai!
