Find a game from the site

Until now there were two doors into a game: the Dota client itself, and the Discord bot. There is a third one now, and it is this site.

The room

/play is the queue and a chat, on one page. You can see who is searching, say something to them, and start searching yourself — without the game running.

The green Find Match button in the right column is the queue, on every page of the site. Press it anywhere and the search starts; while it runs the button says so wherever you go, with your waiting time counting up underneath.

The match finds you

When your match forms, the ready-check appears on whatever page you are reading. Accept from there; the server address arrives in the same panel. It makes a sound — the game's own — and it works on a phone, which sounds pointless until the fifth time you accept a match from the kitchen.

Profiles and statistics are open

Every account has a profile now: rating, record, current and best streaks, per-game averages, and career statistics for every hero you have played — games, win rate, KDA, farm. Match history is paginated, and any match opens as a full scoreboard: items, gold and experience for all ten players. The ladder counts ranked All Pick only, and the note under the table says plainly what does not count.

A highlight

Our first real 5v5 was on 5 August 2026 — match 35, thirty-five minutes, Dire took it.

Playing for Dire under the nickname Spectre: Faceless Void, whose Chronosphere freezes everyone caught under the dome. Everyone. Allies included.

The plan was to drop the dome on the enemy fountain and kill Legion Commander inside it. The first half went perfectly — Legion Commander was indeed under the dome. So was our own Tinker, who happened to be passing and now stood perfectly still next to the enemy fountain.

The fountain kept firing. Legion Commander did not die. The dome wore off. Of the three players under it, exactly one survived the fountain: the one it had been aimed at.

Here are the eighteen seconds — thanks to Изучение компьютера for streaming them. He is the Tinker.
