Our Dota 2 network: four sites, one team
Tools, ranks, news and arcanas: four Dota 2 sites from one small team in Germany.
dota2-tools.com is one of four Dota 2 sites made by the same small team. Every site does one job: tools for your own games here, ranking up on Dota2Freaks, daily news on Dota2News and arcana prices on Dota2Arcana. Axe tried to do all four jobs at once. He broke a keyboard.

Who runs the Dota 2 network?
Kevin and Claudio, two Dota 2 players from Germany, run all four sites as part of GamingTools. They have played Dota for about 20 years, since the first DotA map in Warcraft III. Axe joined later. Nobody remembers inviting him. More about the team on our about page.

How do the four Dota 2 sites work together?
Each site covers its own topic, and they link to each other where it helps you. No site copies another. Axe checks. With his fists.
- dota2-tools.com helps in your own games: timers, calculators, hero lookups and Steam tools.
Dota2Freaks explains the game behind it: ranks and MMR, heroes, items, patch notes and prize money.
Dota2News reports what happens: patches, results, roster changes and the pro scene, every day.
Dota2Arcana follows the market for the rarest cosmetics: every arcana, every price.
Questions about our Dota 2 network
Who runs dota2-tools.com, Dota2Freaks, Dota2News and Dota2Arcana?
All four sites are run by the same small team: Kevin and Claudio, two Dota 2 players from Germany, as part of the GamingTools network in Hamburg. Each site names the person responsible in its imprint.
Are the sites of the network free?
Yes. All four sites are free to use, without an account. Some pages show ads or marked affiliate links; they never change a price, a ranking or a result.
Why four sites instead of one?
Every site does one job. dota2-tools.com has the tools for your games, Dota2Freaks explains ranks, heroes and items, Dota2News reports what happens in Dota 2 and Dota2Arcana follows the arcana market. We link to each other where it helps, and we never copy each other’s pages.
How can I become a partner of the network?
