Frequently asked questions about Dota 2

What is The International (TI)?

The International is Dota 2's annual world championship, organised by Valve. Sixteen to twenty teams qualify through direct invitations (top regional finishers) and regional qualifiers. The winning team takes home the Aegis of Champions and historically the largest single-tournament prize pool in esports.

Where can I watch Dota 2 matches live?

Most major events stream on the organiser's official Twitch and YouTube channels — ESL (twitch.tv/esl_dota2), BLAST, BeyondTheSummit, and PGL each run their own broadcasts. The official Dota 2 client also exposes free in-game DotaTV with multiple language casts and replay viewing for any match.

How are Dota 2 tournaments structured?

Most tier-1 events use a group stage (round-robin or GSL-style Bo3) followed by double-elimination playoffs. Playoff series are Bo3 with Bo5 grand finals. The double-elimination format (Upper and Lower Bracket) gives teams a second chance after one loss before they're knocked out.

Which organisers run the biggest Dota 2 events?

ESL (ESL One, DreamLeague), BLAST (BLAST Slam), PGL, and the Saudi-backed Riyadh Masters run the bulk of S-tier events. Valve runs The International directly. Regional organisers handle qualifiers across Western and Eastern Europe, China, Southeast Asia, North America, and South America.

What is a Major in Dota 2?

A Major is a Valve-sponsored or Valve-recognised premier tournament with a substantial prize pool (typically $1M+) and multi-region attendance. Historically Majors awarded DPC points used for Internationally qualification; with the Dota Pro Circuit paused, "Major" today generally refers to top-tier multi-region events.

How does Bo5 work in Dota 2?

A Best-of-5 series is played until one team wins three games. Each game starts with a fresh draft (heroes are picked and banned per match), so a Bo5 grand final can showcase distinct team compositions across all five games. Bo5 is reserved for grand finals and select major bracket matches.

Dota 2 terminology

Position 1–5
The five player roles: carry (1), mid (2), offlane (3), soft support (4), hard support (5).

DPC
Dota Pro Circuit — Valve's now-paused points-based qualifier system that historically decided TI invitations.

How to watch Dota 2 live

Every match page on this site lists direct stream URLs so you can jump to the official cast or a regional broadcast without searching.
