Dota 2 Live Highlights
Watch all the most extraordinary Dota 2 events as they happen
More Dota 2 matches are played every hour than you can realistically expect to play in your lifetime. Rare events like Aegis snatches and rampages are happening dozens of times every minute, but for most active players, a week can easily go by without witnessing something really uncommon. But what about ultra rare, or even cosmically rare events? Double rampages, smurf-free 25 game ranked win streaks, legitimate 50 kill games, or earning an Immortal rank for the first time? Most players will never witness such an epic happening. Until today.
STRATZ.com provides free access to something that can be found nowhere else — stats from every Dota 2 match ever played. Now we’re using that power to fuel a stream of all of the craziest things that players around the world are achieving in their matches. Things like…
And the list goes on and on, because when you see everything that’s happening in the world of Dota, you see just how alive the game really is. We’re striving to make your Global Highlights show the heartbeat of Dota in real time; the greatest triumphs that are taking place from real players in real matches.
As we continue to build out this feature, along with user controls and new event types, it will also serve as an interactive form of navigation around STRATZ.com. With millions of player profiles, billions of match pages, and new pages coming out every week, it’s impossible to pick and choose what our users might want to explore next. So we’re introducing the new Highlights Bar, with access all across STRATZ.
The new Highlights Bar can be found on the top of just about every page on STRATZ.com, ensuring that you never have to miss out on something truly epic. With quick links to learn more about each awesome event, smooth update animations, and the ability to toggle the bar on and off, we hope you’ll find this first-of-it’s-kind way to experience Dota outside of the game a real pleasure. While we’ll be continuing to add new content and features moving forward, if you’ve got an idea for an event type you’d like to see, or a new way to interact with this content, let us know on Discord!
In other news, this week also marks the public beta release of the 0.9.x builds of our neural net-powered Draft Assist, STRATZ Plus! We’ve been investing a lot of resources into making this major new update fast, stable, and full of draft-dominating insights, so join us in testing out the latest build in our beta channel. For existing STRATZ Plus users, you can opt into the beta release cycle by going to your settings in-app and expanding the internals settings area, and changing your Updater Channel. From there, the latest beta build should begin to download.
If you haven’t tried STRATZ Plus yet, it’s totally free and offers AI-powered real-time draft analysis for both the matches you play, and those you spectate! You get access to important player data, top hero picks or every player that update as picks are made, and much more. Check out more details here.
