Ranks in Dota 2

The primary objective of any esports discipline is to showcase the best talent, and Dota 2 has established a ranking system that accurately reflects players’ individual skills. Organizations strive to recruit top-ranked players, as the best teams in the world are often comprised of representatives from the upper echelon of the global rankings.

A player’s rating serves as a crucial metric for anyone involved in the Dota 2 esports scene. To start, players should invest around 100 hours in regular matches to learn various tricks and nuances, gaining essential experience and skill. Following that, they must complete 10 calibration matches, where they need to demonstrate their abilities to the fullest. Based on their performance, players receive a matchmaking rating (MMR) and a corresponding rank, which serves as a visual representation of their skills.

Here’s how the ranks in Dota 2 are categorized:

• Herald: 0 to 610 MMR
• Guardian: 610 to 1400 MMR
• Crusader: 1400 to 2150 MMR
• Archon: 2150 to 2930 MMR
• Legend: 2930 to 3700 MMR
• Ancient: 3700 to 4460 MMR
• Divine: 4620 to 5420 MMR
• Immortal: 6000 MMR and above

Notably, Immortal badges are unique, as they indicate a player’s position in the world rankings. This distinction is why every competitor aspires to reach the top of this rank.
