Radiant maintains a consistent structural edge on the Dota 2 map through superior hill vision control, faster access to neutral camps and the river for movement speed, and easier contesting of key objectives such as the Tormentor. This has translated into higher win rates across professional play, including multiple prior editions of The International where Radiant exceeded 55 percent in group stages and playoffs. Recent patches like 7.38 have widened the gap further to around 54 percent overall, reinforcing trader consensus around the 96.5 percent implied probability for Radiant posting the superior tournament win rate. A major pre-event balance update that symmetrizes terrain, camp pulls, or objective timing could narrow or reverse the disparity, though historical patterns suggest such shifts rarely eliminate the advantage entirely.
