During a match players collect experience points and items for their heroes to successfully defeat the opposing team's heroes in player versus player combat. Each of the ten players independently controls a powerful character known as a "hero" that all have unique abilities and differing styles of play. Dota 2 is played in matches between two teams of five players, with each team occupying and defending their own separate base on the map.
