Battle Cup (BC)
The Battle Cup (or BK) in Dota 2 is a competitive event in a single elimination format. Teams of 5 players can participate. The Battle Cup takes place on Saturdays. To participate, you must purchase a ticket for $1 or have a Dota Plus subscription.
Team matching is determined by tournament tier. If team members have different ranks, the Battle Cup will use the highest tier of the team's player.

- Tier 3: Crusader and below;
- Tier 4: Archon;
- Tier 5: Legend;
- Tier 6: Ancient;
- Tier 7: Divine;
- Tier 8: Immortal.
Players can choose to participate at a higher tier than their current rank.
Rewards for winning the Battle Cup:
- A special Battle Cup trophy and its icon next to your nickname (for one week);
- Unique mini-profile theme (for one week);
- Seven special emoticons (for one week);
- Exclusive Battle Cup statue;
- 20,000 Dota Plus shards for each player.
