Browse Dota 2 Match Formats
Dota 2 is a five-versus-five strategy game where teams choose heroes, defend their Ancient and control objectives across one map. We organise available selections around familiar formats such as single maps and multi-map series, so you can read the match structure before opening a market. Hero drafts, Roshan fights, towers and late-game team battles make each Dota 2 contest different from a
football or badminton fixture.
