PakAibo is a platform for competitive Dota 2 matches and online tournaments. You pick the mode and the entry fee, the platform finds an opponent of a comparable level, and the result of the match changes your rating in that game.
One-off games against a found opponent: Mid 1v1, Duo 2v2, All Pick, Turbo and other Dota 2 modes. Both sides agree on the terms before the lobby is created.
Single-elimination brackets with an entry fee and a shared prize pool. The pot is split between the top places right after the final.
Each game has its own rating. Wins and losses move it, a win streak adds on top, and rating unlocks higher ranks and larger entry fees.
Dota 2, then the mode you want to play — the list shows what is available right now.
The entry fee is held on your game balance while the match is on. Your rank sets the ceiling: the higher the rating, the larger the entry fee allowed.
Quick search looks for players within a comparable entry fee and rating window, so a match is a contest rather than a walkover. You can also open a lobby and wait for someone.
The match result is verified, the winner receives the entry fee, and the rating in Dota 2 changes for both players.
Rating is counted separately for every game: what you earn in Dota 2 stays in Dota 2. New players go through a calibration period where the steps are larger, and after it the rating settles into the regular ladder. Seven ranks named after Norse figures — from Grísnir to Jörmungandr — mark the way up, and each of them raises the entry-fee ceiling.
