About Dota 2

Dota 2 is a five-on-five multiplayer online battle arena where teams select from 128 heroes across Core and Support roles. Each hero brings a distinct set of abilities that defines their impact on the map, as players coordinate to control lanes, secure objectives, and ultimately destroy the opposing Ancient. Experience, gold, and item progression allow teams to scale into powerful late-game threats, where a single fight can decide the outcome. Dota 2’s competitive landscape has been shaped by nations with deep esports legacies, including Sweden, Denmark, Ukraine, Russia, China, Peru, and others. Each produces players who have claimed victories at the highest level of international play. At the Esports Nations Cup, national lineups face off as established powers and emerging challengers collide, creating new rivalries on a global stage where national pride, preparation, and execution define success.
