Dota 2 Matches & Series Analysis

Every Dota 2 series on the board — tournament, start time, best-of format, live map score and the public line where a book prices it — with a page per match. Open any series for the public line where a book prices it, the market-implied win chance for both sides, the series format and a preview of what the members-only AI breakdown covers. Dota 2 group stages are often best-of-two; playoffs are best-of-three with best-of-five finals. Refreshed from the public feed through the day; times are UTC.

Data note. Schedules, live scores, results, rosters and tournaments come from public esports feeds (bo3.gg, with OpenDota and Leaguepedia as reserves); real lines come from a free public bookmaker feed where it covers the match, otherwise the price is a model estimate marked “est.”. Times on this page are UTC.

Now

Live Dota 2 Series

Dota 2 series in progress as of the last refresh, with the running map score from the public feed. A score here can lag the broadcast by a few minutes; the page does not stream and updates when the slate is refreshed.

Schedule

Upcoming Dota 2 Series

Scheduled Dota 2 series as the public feed publishes them, grouped by UTC date. The bookmaker line usually appears a day or less before the start and can move a good deal before the first map, so the numbers here are a snapshot, not a closing line; a series without a line has not been priced by the book and carries no public percentage.

Game-specific

The Dota 2 Calendar: Schedule and Line Movement

What is particular about Dota 2 on this board — how the calendar fills in, how it maps to UTC, and what tends to move the series line before the start. How the estimate itself is built and graded is explained on the Dota 2 predictions page.

Dota 2 runs on a circuit of regional leagues, majors and qualifiers with distinct rhythms: league play spreads series across weekdays in blocks by region, while a major or a large LAN compresses a dozen series into a few days. Group stages are often best-of-two, which means a series on this page can end 1–1 with no winner, and playoff days switch to best-of-three with a best-of-five final. Regional blocks map onto UTC in a predictable way — Southeast Asia and China in the UTC morning, Europe and the CIS through the afternoon, the Americas late — so one event can put series on both sides of a UTC midnight.

Series lines in Dota 2 move with stand-ins and roster announcements more than with form: a team playing an event with a substitute is priced differently the moment the organiser publishes the lineup. The free bookmaker feed prices the top divisions — the series moneyline, a ±1.5 map handicap and a total-maps line — and leaves most qualifiers and lower divisions unpriced, where the product falls back to a model estimate marked “est.” that is not shown here. OpenDota is a reserve source for live and recent series, so a score on this page can arrive from either feed, and the market-implied percentage is re-derived from the moneyline pair at every refresh.

Page structure

What Each Dota 2 Match Page Includes

Every Dota 2 series page follows the same structure, so you always know where to look. The public sections are built from the schedule feed and the bookmaker line; the written breakdown itself is reserved for members.

Match overview

Tournament, date, start time in UTC, the best-of format, the current status or final map score, and the public series moneyline, map handicap and total maps exactly as the bookmaker feed posts them.

Market-implied win chance

The two series moneylines de-vigged into a fair two-way probability for both teams. It is the market’s estimate, labelled as such — not a Sportslyx pick — and it appears only where the book prices the series.

Series format and map pool

How many maps are played and how many win the series, what that means for Dota 2 in particular, and how the format sets the one-map push rule for grading.

Form and head-to-head, honestly

What recent form and previous meetings mean in Dota 2 and what the members-only breakdown reads from the results feed — stated plainly, since the public page shows the schedule feed only.

AI breakdown preview

A description of what the members-only series analysis weighs for Dota 2 — schedule, live scores and results, rosters and team crests, tournament and best-of format, recent series form, bookmaker lines where covered and OpenDota as a reserve for live and recent series — with the written read itself behind the 7-day trial.

Grading rules

How a read on the series is settled from the final map score, why a loss by exactly one map is a push, why a best-of-one has no push, and where the calendar-month record is published.

Dota 2 Matches FAQ

Why do some Dota 2 series on this page end 1–1?

Because many Dota 2 group stages are played as best-of-two, and a best-of-two can end tied. The feed carries the format with the pairing, so a 1–1 in the results list is a complete series, not a missing map. Playoff series are best-of-three with best-of-five finals. The slate is refreshed several times an hour from the public feed, with OpenDota as a reserve for live and recent series, and this page reads the cached copy.

What moves a Dota 2 series line?

Lineup announcements and stand-ins more than results: a team fielding a substitute for an event is repriced as soon as the organiser publishes it, and a patch released between events unsettles prices because recent form was played on different balance. The free bookmaker feed prices the top divisions — series moneyline, ±1.5 map handicap, total maps — and leaves most qualifiers unpriced, where the product uses a model estimate marked “est.” inside the members’ area.

What does the market-implied percentage mean?

It is the series moneyline pair converted into a fair probability by removing the bookmaker margin — a two-way de-vig. It reflects what the market is pricing, and it is the same anchor the Sportslyx board uses where a book prices the series. It is not a Sportslyx prediction, it does not reveal which side the members-only breakdown favours, and it exists only where the free bookmaker feed carries both prices — a series priced by a model estimate shows no percentage on the public page.

Is the AI analysis for each Dota 2 series shown on this page?

No. Each series page describes what the breakdown covers — schedule, live scores and results, rosters and team crests, tournament and best-of format, recent series form, bookmaker lines where covered and OpenDota as a reserve for live and recent series — but the written analysis, the model estimate marked “est.” and the board read are members-only. A 7-day Pro trial opens them, and every read is graded afterwards from the final map score and published by month on the Dota 2 predictions page, where a one-map loss counts as a push.

Honest limits

Data Freshness and Limitations

Schedules, scores and lines come from public feeds and can lag the broadcast by minutes. The free bookmaker feed prices the top Dota 2 divisions only, so many qualifiers and smaller events carry no public line; a series without a moneyline pair has no market-implied percentage, and its page carries a noindex tag until there is a line or a final score to show. Where the book is silent the product uses a model estimate marked “est.” for members — that estimate never appears on this page, and the published record is labelled “partly est. prices” for the same reason.

The market-implied percentage is only as good as the moneyline it is derived from, and the members-only breakdown is a language-model read of the data that can be wrong. A series read that loses by exactly one map — 1–2 in a best-of-three, 2–3 in a best-of-five — is graded as a push, not a loss. The rule is stated on every esports page because it changes how the published hit rate should be read. Nothing on these pages is advice, and past graded results do not predict future ones; the rules behind every number are on the Methodology and Data Sources pages.
