Dota 2 has seen some of the most dominant and enduring esports organizations in competitive gaming. Powerhouse teams have set records that reflect both short-term dominance and years of consistency. This page covers the biggest all-time Dota 2 team records, including tournament achievements, prize earnings, professional match totals, winning streaks, and statistical averages.
OG stands out across several categories, holding records for total prize earnings in Dota 2, The International earnings, and sharing the mark for most Major tournament wins. Team Liquid leads several longevity-based categories, including professional games played, games won, games lost, and Major finals appearances.
Other orgs also hold specialized records, such as Newbee’s winning streak and Tundra Esports’ highest average kills and assists. These records can change as teams continue competing, while some marks may remain difficult or impossible to surpass because of changes to Dota 2‘s tournament structure. The list is updated as new records are established or existing marks are broken.
Quick Summary
- The Dota 2 team records here cover tournament earnings, TI performances, and various statistics in professional matches.
- Noteworthy records include highest earnings held by OG, most appearances at TI, and most games played.
- Apart from OG, other established teams listed are Team Liquid, LGD Gaming, and Team Secret.
Most successful team (earnings)
OG
OG is the most successful Dota 2 organization by total prize earnings, having accumulated more than $37.7 million across its tournament history. The European powerhouse cemented its financial and competitive legacy with its historic back-to-back The International championships at TI8 in 2018 and TI9 in 2019.
At TI8, OG defeated PSG.LGD 3-2 in the grand final, while at TI9 it beat Team Liquid 3-1 to become the first team to win The International twice. Those victories generated exceptionally large prize payouts and account for a substantial portion of OG’s overall earnings. OG co-founder and former captain Johan “N0tail” Sundstein also holds the record for the highest career prize earnings by an individual Dota 2 player, with more than $7 million.
This achievement by OG is difficult to match because it combines sustained participation at elite tournaments with success at events offering some of the largest prize pools in esports.
Team Liquid is the closest organizational competitor, with approximately $33.9 million in Dota 2 prize earnings. While Liquid has accumulated more than $56 million across multiple esports titles, OG remains ahead when measuring Dota 2 earnings specifically.
Most TI wins
OG, Team Spirit, and Team Liquid
OG, Team Spirit, and Team Liquid are tied at two The International titles each, making them the most successful organizations in the tournament’s history. OG were the first to lift the Aegis of Champions twice, winning TI8 in 2018 and TI9 in 2019 with the same core roster of Johan “N0tail” Sundstein, Sébastien “Ceb” Debs, Anathan “Ana” Pham, Jesse “JerAx” Vainikka, and Topias “Topson” Taavitsainen.
Team Spirit matched the record by winning TI10 in 2021 and TI12 in 2023, while Team Liquid joined them after claiming TI7 in 2017 and TI13 in 2024. The record is particularly difficult to break because TI has been held only once per year, meaning organizations have limited opportunities to add another championship.
OG’s back-to-back victories remain especially notable, as no other organization has repeated that feat. Eight organizations with one TI title each: Natus Vincere (TI1), Invictus Gaming (TI2), Alliance (TI3), Newbee (TI4), Evil Geniuses (TI5), Wings Gaming (TI6), Tundra Esports (TI11), and Team Falcons (TI14).
Most appearances at TI
LGD Gaming
LGD Gaming holds the record for the most appearances at The International, with 12 TI appearances since making its debut at TI2 in 2012. The Chinese organization has remained one of the most consistent teams in the competitive scene, regularly qualifying for Dota 2‘s world championship across different competitive eras and roster changes.
LGD marks its 12th appearance at TI 2026, where it qualified through South America regional qualifier with SA-based core after its acquisition of HEROIC, along with two-time TI champion Topias “Topson” Taavitsainen.
LGD’s record is pretty notable because maintaining a presence at TI for more than a decade requires sustained competitive results despite frequent roster changes, evolving qualification systems, and increasingly strong international competition.
LGD has also finished runner-up twice and top three seven times, although it has yet to lift the Aegis of Champions. Team Liquid is the closest contender, with 11 TI appearances, including its 11th at TI 2026. With only one appearance separating the two organizations, Liquid could potentially match LGD’s record in a future edition, but LGD remains the all-time leader in TI participation for now.
Most Major tournament wins
OG, Virtus.pro, and Team Secret
OG, Virtus.pro, and Team Secret share the record for the most Dota 2 Major tournament wins, with five titles each across the official Valve Major Championships and Dota Pro Circuit eras. OG won the Frankfurt Major in 2015, the Manila and Boston Majors in 2016, the Kiev Major in 2017, and the ESL One Stockholm Major in 2022.
Virtus.pro matched the mark through victories at ESL One Hamburg 2017, ESL One Katowice 2018, the Bucharest Major 2018, ESL One Birmingham 2018, and the Kuala Lumpur Major 2018. Team Secret completed its five-title haul at the Shanghai Major in 2016, DreamLeague Season 8 in 2017, the Chongqing Major and MDL Disneyland Paris Major in 2019, and DreamLeague Season 13 in 2020.
The shared record is notable because these teams racked up their Major trophies across multiple competitive eras. It might not also be broken anymore because Valve already ended the DPC and Major Championships after the 2023 season, leaving the TI as its only sanctioned tournament each year.
Gaimin Gladiators and PSG.LGD are behind the record holders with three Major-level titles each. Gaimin Gladiators dominated all three Valve Majors against Team Liquid during the 2023 DPC season, while PSG.LGD ruled the Epicenter XL and the Changsha Major in 2018 before claiming the WePlay AniMajor in 2021.
Most Major tournament finalists
Team Liquid
Team Liquid holds the record for the most Major tournament finals appearances in Dota 2 history, reaching 10 Major finals across the Valve Major Championship and Dota Pro Circuit eras. While it boasts the most participations, the organization’s only has one Major crown, which came at the China Supermajor in 2018 where Liquid defeated Virtus.pro in the grand final.
Although Liquid fell short eight times, the team’s record remains remarkable for its consistency, as reaching 10 finals required the org to remain among the world’s elite across multiple competitive seasons and roster eras. Its rivalry with Gaimin Gladiators was especially prominent during the 2023 DPC season, when Liquid reached three Major finals against the same opponent but finished as runner-up each time.
Similar to the previous record, Liquid’s mark is hard to break because the Valve Major system ended after the 2023 season, meaning teams no longer have the same recurring Major circuit through which to accumulate finals appearances.
Liquid surpassed Virtus.pro for this record, with the CIS organization reaching nine finals. VP won five of those Majors, as mentioned in the previous record, and finished runner-up in four editions.
Most TI earnings
OG
OG holds the record for the highest total prize earnings from The International, with approximately $26.85 million earned from its victories alone. The organization won historic back-to-back championships at TI8 in 2018 and TI9 in 2019.
At TI8, OG defeated PSG.LGD in the grand final to claim the Aegis, then successfully defended its title the following year by beating Team Liquid in the TI9 grand final. Winning consecutive editions was unprecedented and gave OG a substantial share of two of TI’s largest prize pools, making its earnings record difficult to surpass.
Apart from that, TI’s prize pools have fallen sharply since 2023 after Valve discontinued the Battle Pass and its direct contribution to the prize pool. As a result, future champions now have fewer opportunities to earn prize money on the scale that helped OG establish its record.
Team Spirit ranks second with most of its total coming from its championship at TI10 in 2021 and another victory at TI12 in 2023 for a combined $19.72 million. TI10 accounted for the largest portion of Spirit’s earnings because the 2021 tournament featured a record $40 million-plus prize pool, which was the largest prize pool for a single tournament in esports history.
Dream GreenOG’s dominance is largely rooted in its historic 2018-2019 peak. The team won TI8 and TI9 back-to-back, becoming the first organization to win The International twice. Until now, OG is still the only team to win two consecutive TIs.
Most professional games played
Team Liquid
Team Liquid holds the record for the most professional Dota 2 games played, with 3,202 recorded games, according to DatDota, at the time of writing. The organization has been a mainstay in the professional scene for more than a decade, competing through multiple competitive eras, roster changes, and tournament formats.
Liquid’s record reflects both longevity and consistency, as accumulating more than 3,000 professional games requires sustained participation at the highest level rather than success at a single tournament. Liquid’s extensive match history includes domestic and international events across the Valve Major and Dota Pro Circuit eras, as well as The International.
The established esports org’s record is hard to surpass because it requires organizations to remain active for years while continuously qualifying for and participating in professional tournaments.
LGD Gaming is the closest competitor, ranking second with 2,919 professional games. With both orgs remaining prominent in the modern Dota 2 scene, Liquid’s lead could continue to grow as it adds more pro matches under its legendary banner.
Most professional games won
Team Liquid
Not only Team Liquid has the most pro games played, it also has the record for the most games won, with 1,900 victories built on a 59.34% win rate. The organization has been a fixture in competitive Dota 2 for more than a decade, competing across multiple eras, tournament formats, and roster iterations.
Reaching that milestone just shows Liquid’s exceptional consistency despite having numerous rosters in its storied history. The record is difficult to break because it needs an org to remain active at the highest level for many years while consistently accumulating wins against elite opposition.
LGD Gaming is the closest competitor, with 1,815 professional wins and a higher 62.18% win rate. The two orgs have maintained long-standing presences in the professional scene, making them two of the most successful teams by cumulative match results.
Liquid’s record could remain hard to surpass unless another established org maintains a similarly long competitive lifespan while keeping a high win rate.
Most professional games lost
Team Liquid
Well, Team Liquid also holds the mark for the most professional Dota 2 games lost, with 1,302 defeats. As mentioned before, the org has been active in competitive Dota for more than a decade, making its high loss total a reflection of its longevity and the sheer volume of matches it has played across different eras.
Similar to Liquid’s last two records, this tally is tough to eclipse because newer organizations would need to remain active for many years and accumulate a similarly large number of matches.
Running second is Natus Vincere with 1,238 professional losses. Like Liquid, NAVI is one of Dota 2’s longest-running orgs and has competed across multiple generations of players and tournament formats, even winning the inaugural TI in 2011. The gap between the two orgs highlights Liquid’s greater match volume, while both organizations’ totals demonstrate their remarkable longevity in the pro scene.
Longest competitive winning streak
Newbee
Newbee has the record for the longest competitive winning streak in Dota 2, winning 28 consecutive maps between April 22 and May 12, 2016. The Chinese organization was one of the leading teams of the mid-2010s and had already established itself as a major force after winning The International 2014.
The org’s 2016 streak stands out because it was sustained across multiple competitive matches and opponents rather than being confined to a single tournament. A 28-map run requires a team to maintain exceptional form while avoiding a single series loss, making the record particularly difficult to match in a scene where top teams regularly face one another.
NAVI holds the closest known record, winning 24 consecutive maps from June 2 to June 17, 2013. NAVI was one of Dota 2’s dominant early organizations, having won the inaugural The International in 2011 and reached the TI grand final in the following two editions. Breaking the record would require another organization to combine sustained dominance with enough matches in a short period to surpass Newbee’s 2016 run.
Highest average kills in pro games (1000+ games)
Tundra Esports
Tundra Esports holds the record for the highest average kills per professional game among teams with at least 1,000 games played, averaging 25.9 kills across 1,336 games. The European organization rose to prominence after entering the Dota 2 scene in the early 2020s and winning The International 2022, where it swept Team Secret 3-0 in the grand final and did not drop a single series in the entire tournament.
Tundra’s high average shows its consistently aggressive approach behind its standout offlaner Neta “33” Shapira. Maintaining an average above 25 kills over more than 1,300 games is particularly notable because the statistic covers multiple competitive eras and rosters. It is also difficult to break because teams must combine a high-kill playstyle with longevity in the scene.
Behind Tundra is Team Secret, averaging 25.8 kills across 1,941 games. Nigma Galaxy, OG, or Team Liquid could snatch the record soon, as both Tundra and Secret are out of the current competitive landscape. Tundra left the Dota 2 scene last June, transferring its roster to 1win (aka Iron Wing), while Secret went on an indefinite hiatus since February.
Highest average deaths in pro games (1000+ games)
Beastcoast
Beastcoast has the record for the highest average deaths per professional game among teams with at least 1,000 games played, averaging 28.5 deaths across 1,024 games. The South American organization has been one of the region’s longest-running representatives on the international Dota 2 stage, competing across multiple tournaments with different rosters.
While the record may sound bad, beastcoast’s death average reflects the org’s long-term performance in the pro scene. Maintaining the highest average deaths after crossing the 1,000-game threshold is notable because the sample spans different opponents, metas, players, and tournaments.
OG ranks second with 25.3 average deaths across 2,102 games, giving it a substantially larger sample size but a 3.2-death gap behind beastcoast. OG’s figure is particularly notable given its extensive history and success, including two TI championships.
Highest average assists in pro games (1000+ games)
Tundra Esports
Besides the highest average kills, Tundra Esports also has the record for the highest average assists per professional game among teams with at least 1,000 games played, averaging 62.2 assists across 1,336 games. The European org established itself as a consistent presence in top-level Dota 2 starting in 2020s before leaving the scene in June 2026.
Known for its aggressive playstyle, Tundra’s high assist average shows the team’s ability to participate in kills across the map and contribute collectively to engagements rather than relying solely on individual kills. The record is difficult to break because a team must both play aggressively and coordinated to generate frequent kills and assists.
BOOM Esports ranks second with 60.8 assists across 1,023 games, 1.4 assists behind Tundra. Similar to Tundra, BOOM is fairly known for its aggression, especially in the Southeast Asian pro scene. The org though left competitive Dota last December 2025, ending its eight-year run and leaving Team Spirit as the closest active contender.
