BUILT AROUND THE DRAFT

DotaCaptain focuses on the decisions behind Captain’s Mode: pick order, bans, team synergy, roles, tempo, risk, and item planning. It does not reproduce Dota 2’s real-time combat. Instead, it turns drafting and strategy into a competitive management experience designed for quick sessions.

Guest practice is available without an account. An account and internet connection are required for ranked play, social features, cloud progression, and purchases.

DotaCaptain is an independent, unofficial fan project. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Valve Corporation. Dota 2 and related names, artwork, and marks are the property of their respective owners.
