Dota 2's top tier is a circuit of third-party tournaments rather than one franchised league. ESL One, DreamLeague, PGL and similar organizers fill the year, and The International, Valve's own world championship, closes the season. Most series are best-of-three. Grand finals are often best-of-five. A game is 5v5 on one map, with a captain's mode draft before the creeps spawn. Regional leagues and open qualifiers feed the larger events, so a team's year is a run of LAN stops and online stages, not a single table. Prize pools and invites are set by each organizer. The International is the one event Valve runs itself.
