About
Dota 2 is a five‑on‑five multiplayer online battle arena where teams choose from 126 heroes across two roles: Core and Support. Each hero has a unique set of abilities that shapes their playstyle, and players work together to push lanes, defeat enemy heroes, and ultimately destroy the opposing team’s Ancient. Teams earn experience and gold to level up and purchase items, gaining powerful advantages that can turn the tide in late-game battles.
Dota 2 has one of the most passionate and competitive esports communities in the world, built on long-standing teams, rivalries, and massive prize pools. At EWC, the top squads face off on a global stage, with strategy, coordination, and individual skill on full display as they compete for championship glory.
