Abstract

The presented text addresses the issue of the influence of national diversity of eSports teams on their effectiveness in winning DOTA 2 games. The analyses were based on data concerning the entire population of teams participating in The International series tournaments. The results of the analyses confirm the hypothesis that teams with a strong national diversity, more often than teams with a high national homogeneity, achieve a high effectiveness coefficient and occupy a high place in the final classification of the analyzed tournaments.
