How Dota 2 Markets Work
Five-player teams defend their Ancient across a single map or a multi-map series in Dota 2. Our lobby labels each selection by match, map, or series stage, helping you distinguish a one-map result from a longer contest. Hero drafting, lane pressure, objective control, and late-game team fights shape the match story. Before you enter a selection, we show the event label and
current status in the Dota 2 category.
