How Dota 2 Matches Work
Dota 2 is a five-versus-five strategy esport where each side protects its Ancient while pushing through three lanes. Teams select heroes during drafting, farm gold from creeps, take objectives and fight around towers, Roshan and high ground. We present match and map selections with the scheduled teams and format visible first, so you can distinguish a single-map contest from a longer series
before confirming your entry.
