Dota 2 Immortal Rank, Leaderboard and Immortal Draft (2026)

Immortal is where the Dota 2 ladder stops counting stars. Above it sit four regional leaderboards, and above 8,500 MMR the ranked rules themselves change: an official name, solo queue only, and games that vanish from public match history. Valve has moved that line twice in two years, so older guides are often wrong. This one sets out the top of the ladder as it stands on 2 November 2026, with every date and number tied to Valve's own posts, and the community figures labelled as such.

Short answer: Immortal is Dota 2's highest medal, reached at about 5,620 MMR by the community's figures. Players high enough on one of the four regional leaderboards (Americas, Europe, Southeast Asia, China) see their place on it. Since 19 March 2025, every ranked game with a player above 8,500 MMR (Valve: the top 0.5 %) uses Immortal Draft rules: players above 8,500 must register a permanent official name, can't queue ranked in a party, and their games don't appear in public match history.

What Immortal is

Immortal is the eighth and last medal, directly above Divine 5. It has no stars: the climb ends on step 36 of the ladder, and from there the leaderboard place does the talking. Valve doesn't publish the MMR where Immortal starts. The community figure is about 5,620, and it has unusual backing: until patch 7.33c (13 May 2023) Valve's own minimum for Immortal Draft was 5,620, when it "raised the minimum MMR to be eligible for Immortal Draft from 5620 to 6500".

The last medal below it is also the longest. Divine stars are about 200 MMR each by community figures, against 154 lower down, so:

From	MMR to Immortal (community)	Net wins at ±25	Games at a 55 % win rate
Divine 5	200	8	about 80
Divine 3	600	24	about 240
Divine 1	1,000	40	about 400
Ancient 1	1,770	71	about 710

Arithmetic on community thresholds and Valve's ±25 for players with high Rank Confidence (patch 7.33c). Real gains move with team ratings.

The four regional leaderboards

Valve runs a leaderboard for each of four divisions: Americas, Europe, Southeast Asia and China. Once you're high enough on yours, your place number appears on your Immortal medal for everyone to see. The boards update often. When we read Valve's leaderboard feed for Europe, it was posted at 1 November 2026, 15:13 UTC and named its next update for 16:13 UTC: about once an hour.

Two things we could not confirm, so we don't state them: how many places each board lists (the feed we read was cut off), and exactly how the game assigns you to a board if you queue several matchmaking regions (you can pick up to three). Check the leaderboard page in the client for your own place.

Immortal Draft: from 5,620 to 8,500

Immortal Draft is a separate set of ranked rules for the very top, and the MMR where it starts has climbed twice:

In the 19 March 2025 post Valve described the old 6,500 line as "roughly the top 1.5% of players" and the new 8,500 line as "the top 0.5% of players".

The rules above 8,500 MMR

Since 19 March 2025, crossing 8,500 changes how you play ranked, not just where you sit:

1. Immortal Draft in every ranked game

   Any ranked game with a player above 8,500 MMR uses Immortal Draft rules, and above 8,500 that's every game you play.

2. A permanent official name

   "Players who are above 8500 MMR (the top 0.5% of players) are now required to register an official name to queue for ranked." The name can't be changed and is shown in the draft.

3. Solo ranked only

   At 8,500+ you can't queue ranked as a party. Unranked parties are unchanged.

4. Hidden matches

   Immortal Draft games are kept out of public match history and aren't listed in Valve's Web APIs; only the players can get the replay. That's why they don't reach Dotabuff, OpenDota or STRATZ.

5. Draft-aware MMR

   Valve changed the MMR gained and lost in these games to take the draft choices into account.

Between 6,500 and 8,500

From May 2023 to March 2025, 6,500 MMR was the Immortal Draft line. Since 19 March 2025 that range plays like the rest of the ladder: a ranked game there uses Immortal Draft rules only when a player above 8,500 is in it. Below 8,500 you can still queue ranked in a party and you don't need an official name, and your games show in public match history unless one of them was played under Immortal Draft rules. Guides written before March 2025 that put Immortal Draft at 6,500 are out of date.

Partying with an Immortal

Below 8,500 an Immortal can queue ranked with friends, with conditions. Valve caps the MMR gap between party members (it doesn't publish the number, and community figures disagree), and community wikis say a party with an Immortal is rated at the Immortal's level and matched only with Immortal or Divine players. For a Legend friend that means games several medals above their own. Above 8,500 the question disappears: ranked is solo only.

The same rules are why a duo booster has to queue from an account inside those limits. The full party rules are in our ranked requirements guide.

How rare is Immortal?

Two sources give two different kinds of answer, and they shouldn't be compared like for like:

• ≈ 0.5 %above 8,500 MMR (Valve, March 2025)
• ≈ 1.5 %above 6,500 MMR (Valve, March 2025)
• 3.9 %of OpenDota-tracked accounts hold the Immortal medal
• 10.1 %of tracked accounts are Divine 1 or higher

Valve's figures are percentiles of all players at specific MMR lines. OpenDota's (read 2 November 2026, 8,768,869 accounts with a medal) count only accounts it tracks, carry no date, may include inactive accounts, and can't see 8,500+ games at all. Both agree on the point that matters: Immortal is a small slice of the player base, and the top of it is tiny. The full table is in our rank distribution guide.

Getting there, and what we don't sell

Our MMR boost runs to the Immortal medal and is priced star by star from the same engine as checkout, with Immortal boosters on every Ancient and Divine order. Divine 1 to Immortal is $92.25 today, with about 7 days of play estimated, and the last step from Divine 5 $18.45. We don't sell leaderboard places or games above 8,500 MMR: Immortal Draft is solo-queue territory with an official name attached. Dota 2 boosting isn't open for orders yet: get the launch alert on the Dota 2 page.

Know the rules first. The Steam Subscriber Agreement (updated 10 September 2026) forbids sharing your account or charging others to use it, and in December 2023 Valve game-banned accounts "shared with other users or services". Read the Risk Disclosure and is Dota 2 boosting bannable? before you order. Coaching with an Immortal player stays inside the rules.

• Climb: MMR Boost to Immortal, piloted or duo.
• Improve: 1-on-1 coaching: drafting, laning and replay review with an Immortal coach.
• Push: Ranked Wins up to Divine 5; losses don't count toward the total.
