Earn Trophies To Level Up

There are several ways to earn trophies in Dota 2, from playing matches, to performing various feats, participating in events, and more. All of your trophies now contribute toward increasing your Dota Level, which is the culmination of your accomplishments in Dota.

How It Works

Each trophy contributes a different amount of Trophy Points toward your next Dota level. The conversion is simple: 100 Trophy Points = 1 Dota Level. Trophy Points are awarded whenever a trophy is earned, or is upgraded to a new tier.

Every Trophy Counts

You've likely already earned a trophy or two, and each of these will count toward your Dota Level. To see your trophy collection, including the point totals that each provides, head to your profile and select "Trophies". Expect us to release more trophies in the future.

Experience Trophy

The new Experience Trophy rewards you just for playing Dota.
Every match you play contributes toward this trophy, and unlike other trophies it will provide additional Trophy Points each time it gains a level.

There is no limit to how many points you can earn from this trophy.

Battle Veteran Trophy

All players who earned Battle Points in Dota 2 will receive a commemorative trophy that awards Trophy Points based on their final Battle Point Level.

Team Secret to attend ESL One at New York Super Week!


Team Secret to attend ESL One at New York Super Week!
We’re excited happy to be able to announce the first team who’ll be attending the biggest Dota 2 event on the East Coast.
ESL One at New York Super Week is going to be the biggest Dota 2 event on the East Coast and a true festival for gamers that will see world's best teams gather at the Madison Square Garden Theater to battle it out for the ESL One championship and their share of the US$250,000 prize pool.
We are thrilled to announce that one of the teams competing on the big stage will be none other than Team Secret. Although the team was only officially revealed a year ago, the roster is made up of a number of experienced players, and they instantly became the team to watch out for.
Widely considered a favorite, Team Secret did not let their fans down at ESL One Frankfurt. They breezed through the playoffs without dropping a single a match, defeating Fnatic and Invictus Gaming along the way. In the grand final, they faced fellow favorite Evil Geniuses, who they defeated 3-1 to claim the ESL One trophy and championship title.
After an amazing performance at ESL One Frankfurt the team headed to The International, where they were once again considered to be among the ranks of the favorites. However, this time they did not live up to expectations, losing to EHOME in the upper bracket and then falling to Virtus.pro in the lower one.
Now Team Secret heads to ESL One at New York Super Week with a new roster and the goal of proving that they are capable of winning the ESL One trophy for the second time in a row.
The team's new lineup is as follows:
  • Jacky "EternalEnVy" Mao
  • Aliwi "w33" Omar
  • Rasmus "MISERY" Filipsen
  • Clement "Puppey" Ivanov
  • Johan "pieliedie" Åström

Reigning TI champions Evil Geniuses are coming to ESL One at New York Super Week!


Reigning TI champions Evil Geniuses are coming to ESL One at New York Super Week!

Evil Geniuses join the lineup of teams heading to New York’s Madison Square Garden Theater.
We are pleased to announce that International champions and ESL One veterans Evil Geniuses are joining the lineup of teams who will be attending ESL One at New York Super Week. The Dota 2 colossus is one of the top favorites to claim the ESL One championship title - will they finally break the ESL One second place curse? 

Evil Geniuses came into ESL One Frankfurt 2015 as one of the favorites along with Team Secret, knocking about reigning ESL One New York champions Vici Gaming in the quarterfinals and continuing their journey to the finals by defeating Virtus.pro. Evil Geniuses clashed with Team Secret in the grand final but did not manage to break the curse, getting second place yet again.
Then came The International, and the team's greatest achievement yet. The road to The International championship was not an easy one, with Evil Geniuses losing to the tournament's greatest surprise, Chinese team CDEC, and having to fight for the grand final from the lower bracket against LGD. In the end, the American team prevailed and faced CDEC once again in the final, this time taking the victory and the grand prize.
It's now Evil Geniuses against the world. Can they finally break the ESL One second place curse? Can the other teams stop the TI champions?
