So, you’ve heard about the strange new Midas Mode tournament coming later this year and you’re probably wondering just what is Midas Mode? Well, wonder no longer.
We’ve got all the information you’ll ever need right here. This includes the rules of the event, the teams competing and all the little quirks that make Midas Mode special. So, strap on that golden gauntlet and rush down the mid lane – it’s Midas Mode time.
Midas Mode is a game mode created by
especially for Dota 2 in 2017. The mode revolves around the accruing and utilization of a special currency known as Moon Bucks. Teams compete in regular Dota 2 games, albeit with the strange and unique twist offered by their personal stash of Moon Bucks.
In this year’s Midas Mode (Midas Mode 2), the prize money for the tournament is $150,000 US. This is no small amount for what some might consider to be a joke tournament. It will also take place in front of a live audience and feature casting and analysis from talent like Owen “ODPixel” Davies and Kevin “Purge” Godec.
At the start of the tournament, each team is given a stash of Moon Bucks. Bucks are initially spent at the drafting phase. Both picking and banning heroes will cost Moon Bucks depending on how well that hero has been performing in the tournament so far. Off-meta heroes cost less to pick and ban while heroes heavily featured in the meta, or with a strong winning streak, will cost more.

During the game, teams can spend Moon Bucks on a variety of different and exciting things. Teams can spend them to allow a VIP attending the event to possess Roshan in VR mode at any time. (Yep, you read that right). This allows the fan to control Roshan using a VR headset and fight back against the heroes.
In addition, the cap on Roshan’s attack speed has been completely removed. This gives the potential for the VIP fan to go Super Saiyan and wipe out the attacking team in a blizzard of blows. Teams can also spend extra money to buy SUPER Roshan. This upgrade grants Roshan “overwhelming power”, turning a normal Roshan kill into more of a raid boss encounter.
