How Dota 2 Matches Work
Dota 2 is a five-versus-five strategy game where each side protects its Ancient while fighting across three lanes. Hero selection, draft order, objectives and map control can change the direction of a series quickly. We present Dota 2 as match-focused action rather than a slot-style title, with selections arranged around series results, map results and in-game milestones when those markets are available.
