Events: Epic Base Races in Dota 2

Dota 2 offers not only traditional match victories but also the thrilling spectacle of 'base races' - moments where teams decide to bypass direct confrontation with their opponents and instead target enemy bases. These instances are among the most memorable and gripping scenes witnessed in competitive Dota history.

Base races aren't confined to team deaths or significant damage dealt to the enemy base before victory is secured; they introduce an element of unpredictability, as the game's dynamics shift towards defenseless structures. Here, we look back at five of the most dramatic base races that captured our attention:

1. Alliance vs Dignitas DreamHack Dota 2 Invitational 2013

Aui_2000 played Gyrocopter for Dignitas, grabbing a Divine Rapier and an Aegis of Immortal within just thirty minutes. Despite losing middle barracks early on, Alliance saw no path forward agnst this overpowering build. They took the unconventional route instead: employing Admiral Bulldog’s empowered Lone Druid bear alongside Loda's Anti-Mage, they pushed Dignitas' base while their enemies were preoccupied with defing their own structures.

2. Secret vs CDEC DAC 2015

Secret fielded an all-star lineup at DAC including Puppey, S4, Kuroky three previous TI winners and Z and Arteezy among its young talents. The final three minutes of this game were a rollercoaster for audiences. After losing multiple barracks, CDEC attempted to force action on Secret by pushing their lane; however, with full health, they bought back all heroes. Agression’s Juggernaut initiated an unexpected ultra kill, turning the tide. Secret used multiple buybacks in response, leveraging Lycan and Visage’s summons for mega creeps dominance. The decision to utilize Boots of Travel to charge into CDEC's base proved decisive as Arteezy's Lycan's pushing power ultimately secured victory.

3. Empire vs Ninjas in Pyjamas ESL New York 2015

This match was so close that it’s considered one of the most closely fought in Dota history. With Empire on the defensive after losing mega creeps, NIP initiated a late game push ming for the win. Both teams refrned from engaging, opting instead to focus on attacking each other's structures. The match seemed destined for NIP until Era's Anti-Mage and Jonassomfan’s Legion Commander returned with Boots of Travel to counterattack Empire's base. Although NIP managed to heal their ancient slightly due to backdoor regeneration, Empire pulled off a victory by the narrowest margin possible.

4. Wheel vs Void Boys The International 5 Qualifiers

This TI qualifier match was an intense display of strategic acumen and relentless aggression in the form of a classic base race. Both teams charged into their enemy's territory resistance, ming for the win. While Void Boys initially seemed to have momentum thanks to an ultra kill on Dragon Knight, Wheel’s increased damage with Troll Warlord's attack speed shift ultimately tipped the scales.

5. Team OG vs EHOME The Summit 4

The of this match at The Summit 4 in late 2015 showcased another textbook base race strategy from Frankfurt Major champions, Team OG. They surprised EHOME by picking Meepo and Huskar respectively. By minute twenty-six, EHOME’s group push was met with a strategic stall by Winter Wyvern, Dark Seer, and Bane. Miracle's Shadow Fi and BigDaddy's Meepo countered EHOME's overconfidence in their structures, erasing them effortlessly before EHOME could make any impact on Team OG's defenses.
