Teamfight

A multi-hero engagement where three or more heroes from each team clash over objectives.

Teamfights are the climactic moments of Dota 2 — they determine map control, Roshan, and barracks. Professional teams build entire strategies around forcing or avoiding fights under specific conditions: BKBs active vs. on cooldown, after key ultimates are ready, or from smoke-ambush positions. Gold swings of 15,000–25,000 are common after decisive teamfights.
