Dota2ProTips is a personal prediction log. I — Greg Spencer — watch Dota, and before each series starts I put a pick on the line: who I think is going to win, and why. Every pick is public, every result is tracked, and nothing is edited after the fact.

How the picks are made, how the ELO ratings work, and where every hero, item and player number comes from is explained in How it works.

Picks, ratings and stats are my opinion and analysis, built from public data that can be late, incomplete or wrong. I do my best to keep everything accurate, but I can't guarantee it, and I'm not responsible for any decision you make based on what you read here.

Dota2ProTips is free, and stays free, in part through advertising and affiliate partnerships. Upcoming and live matches show “View odds” links, and some pages show a “Partners” box, linking to our betting partners. These are paid affiliate links: if you sign up or place a bet through one, we may earn a commission — at no extra cost to you. Which partners you see depends on the country you visit from.

To be clear: we are not a bookmaker, and a link is not a recommendation to bet or a prediction of any outcome. Our picks and analysis are editorial and independent — a partner paying us does not change who we tip or what we write. Betting links only ever appear on matches that haven't finished; they never sit on completed results.

Gamble responsibly. Betting is for adults aged 18 or over (or the legal age where you live) and it is your responsibility to check that betting is legal in your jurisdiction. Gambling can be addictive. If it stops being fun, stop. Betting should only ever be for fun — a way to make a match more exciting to watch. Never bet expecting to get rich or to solve money problems, and only ever stake what you can comfortably afford to lose.
