Key statistics from The International 2019

Stats Breakdown and Changes After The International 2019

The International 2019 has come to a close, and the full breakdown of statistics for key metrics like hero picks and team win rates is now available. These stats play a crucial role in shaping the future of Dota 2, with Valve using them to make adjustments and changes to the game’s meta. The recent 7.22g Update saw targeted changes to heroes that dominated at TI9, with more updates expected in the future.

Top Percentages and Draft

Based on stats from SpectralGG, some heroes stood out with their win rates. Chen, Gyrocopter, and Alchemist were particularly strong picks, with Chen having a whopping 70% win rate. However, many of these top heroes received significant nerfs in the last patch, potentially leading to a decline in their presence in future matches.

Pivotal Heroes and Impact on the Grand Finals

Alchemist was the most picked hero at TI9, appearing in 172 matches out of a total of 193. Although he was often banned, his presence still had a significant impact on the tournament. LGD’s failure to ban Alchemist in their match against OG in the grand finals cost them dearly, leading to the hero’s subsequent nerfs. Elder Titan, on the other hand, was a more manageable pick for teams and received substantial nerfs in the patch due to his consistent play.

Key Statistics for Top-performing Teams

OG, the winner of TI9, topped the winrate chart with a remarkable 82.14%. Liquid, who played the most games among all teams, made an impressive comeback from the lower bracket to reach the grand finals. OG also ranked highly in other important categories, demonstrating their dominance throughout the tournament.

Top Teams in Major Categories

OG secured first place in five major categories: winrate, kills, assists, match duration, and average hero damage per minute. Their player, Topias “Topson” Taavitsainen, had the highest average kill rate per game and inflicted the most hero damage per minute. These statistics highlight OG’s unmatched performance and showcase the skill of the top players in the world.

Tournaments like The International have a profound impact on the future of Dota 2, from the competitive scene to casual play. As the 2019 season approaches, these statistics become increasingly important for understanding the game’s evolving meta.
