Best Dota 2 Matches to Watch

Every Tier 1 professional Dota 2 game is scored on how good it was to watch, on a 0-10 scale, from its full post-game net-worth graph. The largest share of the score comes from how long the game stayed genuinely in doubt, weighted towards the later minutes: a game still undecided at minute 50 counts for far more than one close at minute 10, but a game earns nothing just for running long. The remainder comes from how close the eventual winner came to losing once the laning stage was over, how many times the lead genuinely turned over, the biggest late swing, how many kills both teams were getting (a one-sided kill fest is not action), and how far the winner's own base fell before they held. A net-worth lead is always judged against what that lead is worth at that point in the game, so a 15,000 gold deficit at minute 20 and the same deficit at minute 60 are not treated as the same event.

This page lists no winners and no scores. It is designed to be read before watching. Every game links to a Twitch VOD timestamped to the start of that game.
