How a game runs

Everything happens in the real Dota 2 client. The site finds the match; the bot runs the lobby from invite to result.

  1. GO

    Search

    Press Quick play alone, or lead a party of friends. The queue looks for nine others near your rating.

  2. 0:30

    Accept

    Match found. Everyone has thirty seconds to accept; skip it and you sit out five minutes.

  3. INV

    Lobby invite

    Teams are balanced by rating and position, parties stay together, and our bot invites exactly the ten of you.

  4. GG

    Result

    The result comes straight from the game. Ratings move, no-shows go on the record, no screenshots or disputes.

Bring your chat
to the fight

Queue with your viewers as a party, or bring your five for a team match. Your Twitch link sits next to your name on every game, so chat can follow the lobby you are in.

  • Queue with viewers as a party of up to five
  • Your team page and record, for viewers to follow
  • A delayed lobby feed, so nobody stream-snipes your draft
Apply as a streamer

Bringyour five

Start a team, give it a tag and invite your friends. Five of you in a party can queue a team match against another team's five.

Every team match moves both teams on the team ladder, and your own rating moves like in any league game.
