How Dota 2 Matches Work
Dota 2 is a multiplayer online battle arena game built around two teams of five, each defending an Ancient while trying to destroy the opposing base. Heroes fill carry, support, mid, offlane, and roaming roles, so drafts and early lane decisions shape the match before major team fights begin.
