We are happy to introduce the Dota 2 Custom Games to the esports scene. It all started with a poll that we made on the Dota 2 Twitter, which got a total of 872 votes in 2 days. You can see the poll here . We promoted this poll in other social media channels like Reddit and Facebook , and we found more popular games missing the poll. We chose the ones that we think were the most interesting and fun and we created 3 ladders!

5on5 DOTA IMBA Europe Ladder

1on1 Crumbling Island Europe Ladder

2on2 Hardcore Ninja Europe Ladder
