Dota 2 at ENC 26 in Riyadh

Dota 2 is Valve’s 5v5 multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) in which two teams compete to destroy the opposing Ancient, a fortified structure at the center of each base. The game features a roster of 128 playable heroes divided into Core and Support roles, with the outcome of each match determined by strategy and execution.

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.
