Dota 2 Compendium Bingo: How to play

The Dota 2 Bingo in the 2023 Compendium is fairly simple to play as you technically don't have to do anything. Here is how the game goes:

Each player will get a random Bingo card with random missions for each stage of the tournament (Group Stage, Playoffs, and The International). Below, you can see an example of a Group Stage Bingo card. Note that you won't get the next Bingo card until the specific event is finished.

All matches played during the specific stage can give progress to filling out the Bingo card.

For example, one of the missions on the Group Stage Bingo card states "first blood occurs before the horn" and it has to happen nine times. If that occurs in one of the Group Stage matches, the bingo card for the Group Stage progresses to 1/9. If it happens a total of nine times throughout the Group Stage, the mission is completed.

You can find the description of each mission by hovering your mouse on top of the mission card. Refer the picture below!

You will earn points for completing a full row, full column, or diagonal. Completing one line of mission gives you 1,000 Compendium points. With Compendium points, you increase your chances of collecting Compendium rewards such as voice lines, a TI12 HUD, and in-game teleport effects.
