Dataset Notes

To get the dataset onto your platform use the mongorestore command on the directory containing the release files.

You will need mongoDB and the mongoDB database tools which is installed seperately.

• Some teams have a name mismatch between the actual name and the name on the results notably: VG.r (Vici Gaming Reborn), 4 Anchors + Sea Captain, RoX, Relax, they have not been processed.
• Summit 5, 6 and 7 have a duplicate eventID
• Players with no page on Liquipedia have not been processed.
• Some events do not an eventID they are:
  • The International 2011
  • ASUS Open 2012 Finals
  • World Cyber Games 2012
  • Electronic Sports World Cup 2012
  • The Premier League: Season 2
  • DreamHack Summer 2012
  • StarLadder StarSeries Season 1
  • The Premier League: Season 1
  • The Premier League: Season 1
  • Dota2 Star Championship

Additional Resources

In addition to the Dataset I also made some python classes for data collection and statistical operations. They are located in the source folder:

 /Dota2EsportDataset/Database_Objects/

I have also made the data collection tools available, feel free to use them to update the dataset or scan a different list of tournaments.

The following query is useful for getting leagues with exact playerids.

 {teams: { $elemMatch: {"players": {$not: {$elemMatch: {'player.playerID': {$nin: <Array of Player IDs>}}}}}}}

In order to use them you will need to set a few environmental variables:

• To use the steam api you must generate a key and set the environmental variable 'STEAM_API_KEY' to its value.
• I was using mongoDB locally so I set the environmental variable LOCALMONGOSTR to my mongoString.

For more details on the steam API see here

Thanks to the volunteers / editors of Liquipedia without whom this project would not have been possible.

Shoutout to DatDota and Noxville for helping me out.
