About /r/Dota2

Not only are we the official server of the r/dota2 subreddit, we are also the largest English speaking DotA server. We have dedicated esports and new player sections alongside looking for group channels and much more. Additionally, we run a tournament every month! We also have a thriving community of regulars, and we play (and discuss) a HUGE amount of other games, share music, and also offer life advice. For many people, this is their 'home' server, and lifelong friendships have been (and continue to be!) formed on here.
