Fantasy Dota is a feature that lets players create their own team of professional players within a Fantasy League, and compete with other players in the league based on points earned by their team. Points are earned whenever a professional player participates in any Tournament match. It is similar to Fantasy Baseball.
Various in-game rewards can be earned by participating in Fantasy Dota. Dota Plus members may earn shards by participating in Fantasy Dota for the Dota Pro Circuit.
Each professional player will earn a score based on their in-game performance. After each match, a team's score is the total sum of all its 5 active members.
In a best-of-three series, each player earns points only for their highest-scoring games.
Winning or losing does not affect a player's score.
Stand-ins will not earn any points.
Matches played in Premium and Professional tournaments count towards players' scores.
By default, Premium tournaments count for 100% points and Professional Tournaments count for 25% points.
