News outlet Dot Esports and betting brand GG.BET have created a virtual hall of fame to celebrate 50 Dota 2 World Records. Check it out to discover the stories behind the most impressive feats in the game’s competitive history and watch videos of when they happened.
According to a press release, the Dot Esports team have painstakingly selected and presented Dota 2 records in five categories: players, teams, tournaments, content creators and talent.
You can find a list of extraordinary individuals and organisations in each one, as well as dive into the events that have made Dota 2 a tier one esports discipline on the world stage.
The GG.BET press office sent the following statement: “Although Dota 2 was released over 11 years ago, it continues to rank among the top games in the esports community. As we wait for the biggest tournament of the year, The International 13, to kick off, we’ve decided to look back and reflect on the most remarkable milestones throughout the competitive history of Dota 2.
“Did you know that the fastest time a match was won was in less than eight minutes? Or that there’s a team that’s played 2,813 professional matches? The experts at Dot Esports will tell you all about this and much more in our joint project. We’re delighted to support the creation of such insightful content.”

Jody Rones, CRO at Dot Esports, added: “From its humble beginning as a fan made mod to one of the largest games in the world, Dot Esports is thrilled to partner with GG.BET to shine a light on Dota and its community as it passes its 11-year mark.
“From the content creators, to the team, players, tournament organisers, shoutcasters and more, they’re a key part of what makes this esport great, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to give them the recognition they deserve with the launch of the collaborative Dota 2 World Records.”
50 Dota 2 World Records is already available on the Dot Esports website in English and Ukrainian.
Before the end of the Counter-Strike: Global Offensive era and the transition to CS2, Dot Esports also put a spotlight on 50 CS:GO World Records in collaboration with GG.BET. This project got a great reaction not just from the esports community, but from the players and teams themselves.
Last month, Tundra Esports qualified for The International 2024, and earlier this year, Esports News UK ran a piece on the history of UK Dota 2 esports.

Note: Dom still produces the British Esports newsletter on a freelance basis, so our coverage of British Esports is always kept simple – usually just covering the occasional press release – because of this conflict of interest.
