Dota 2 update for 28 April 2021
Introducing DPC Team Profiles
Season 2 of this year's DPC slate is up and running, and today's update includes new Team Profiles, the next piece in an evolving platform of features designed to help you track all the action in Dota competitive play.
You can check out profiles for all Division I and Division II teams by heading to the Watch section of the game. Click on any team to visit their hub which contains team and player stats plus top heroes. You'll also find each team's season schedule which provides an easy way to view upcoming opponents or watch past replays. Stay tuned for more updates as we move through the season of play.
We've also added a spoiler-free mode for all DPC content in the client. To use it, just click the Live option in the upper-right of the Watch section and you’ll be opted out of live updates. In this mode you'll have manual controls for revealing match results and current standings.
Team profiles will not only provide a way for you to stay connected to your favorite teams, but they will also be an integral part of the upcoming fan content system that’s currently in the works.

The best Dota 2 heroes to play in ranked in 2021
Want to know the best Dota 2 heroes you should be picking in ranked mode? The wilds of Dota 2's ranked mode is a tough place to spend your time, and nothing feels worse than sinking hours of your valuable time only to emerge with less MMR than you started off with.
There are several factors that contribute to the result of each ranked game - one of the most crucial is the draft. Games can be won and lost on draft alone, and so to give yourself the best chance of winning, you should carefully consider your hero pick. There are certain heroes that are particularly strong in the current meta, but it's not enough just to pick meta heroes; you have to know when and why these heroes are good.
That's where we come in. We've put together a list of the best Dota 2 heroes for each position, alongside a few alternatives. These are heroes that are particularly strong, and effective in a wide variety of scenarios, but we recommend learning three or four heroes for your chosen role.
