Gameplay The game involves two teams of five people.
One team plays for the bright side (eng. The Radiant), the other for the dark (Eng. The Dire).
Each player controls one unit, which is called a hero.
The hero can gain experience to increase his level, earn gold, buy and collect items that strengthen him or give additional abilities.
Each player constantly receives a small amount of gold from his base, and also earns small portions of gold for killing enemy creatures and large ones for killing heroes.
The teams are dispersed along the lines where there is a fight with enemy heroes and creeps squads under computer control, which appear at the team bases every half a minute.
The goal of the game is to destroy the main building on the enemy base.
The game developers have made a number of innovations and improvements to the gameplay compared to the original game[7][8]: Reconnection support (if the connection is broken, you can return within 5 minutes, if this is not done — the player receives a low priority for searching for the game).
The ability to pause the game by pressing one button.
The game has a division of players by territorial zones (at the moment there are fourteen of them: western and eastern Europe, East and west of the United States, South America, Russia, India, South Korea, Southeast Asia, Australia, Chile, Peru, Dubai and South Africa), but if desired, players can play in any of these zones.
The problem with delays and lags is solved by minimizing the latency between servers and optimizing the network code.
A colorful, clean and clear visual representation of the actions.
Computer bots with a customizable behavior model in the form of difficulty are available, which can play together and / or against players; An advanced replay system, there are both the usual features, in the form of rewinding and cameras from different characters, as well as the ability to bookmark, view graphs, collective viewing and much more.
Also, the replays will be stored in the Steam Cloud, which will allow players not to worry about losing replays and transferring them between different computers.
The ability to join any unclosed game as a spectator.
The ability to quickly and easily configure hotkeys.
The presence of training tasks that explain the basics of the game to beginners.
The ability to view information about the damage done to the killed player.

As part of GamesCom 2011, which was held in Cologne from August 17 to 21, 2011, Valve held a five day Dota 2 tournament called The International, at which the game was publicly presented for the first time[50].
The prize fund was $ 1.6 million[51].
The 16 strongest teams from Europe and Asia were invited.
The champion of The International 2011 was the team Natus Vincere.
The International 2012 was held in Seattle from August 26 to September 2, 2012.

The list includes such heroes as: Dragon Knight, Invoker, Legion Commander, Orge Magi, Pudge, Queen of Pain, Shadow Fiend, Shadow Shaman and Sniper.
