Dota 2

Dota 2 boasted an average peak of 900,000 concurrent players on Steam in 2025, a figure 20% higher than the typical MOBA competitor's peak. The International 2024 offered a $40 million prize pool, funded by community Battle Passes, securing Dota's legacy as the highest-prize esport by cumulative prize distribution—outstripping #6 PUBG's competitive circuits by over threefold. Its loyal base ensures sustained relevance.
