Welcome To The World of eSports!
Dota 2 is a free-to-play multiplayer online battle arena video game developed and published by Valve Corporation. The game is the stand-alone sequel to Defense of the Ancients (DotA), which was a community-created mod for Blizzard Entertainment’s Warcraft III.
Dota 2 is played in matches between two teams of five players, with each team occupying and defending their own separate base on the map. Each of the ten players independently controls a powerful character, known as a “hero”, who all have unique abilities.
Our History
During a match, players collect experience points and items for their heroes to successfully battle the opposing team’s heroes, who attempt to do the same to them. A team wins by being the first to destroy a large structure located in the opposing team’s base, called the “Ancient”.
Dota 2 was officially released for Microsoft Windows, OS X, and Linux-based personal computers via the digital distribution platform Steam in July 2013, following a Windows-only public beta phase that began two years prior. The game was praised for its rewarding gameplay.
