Invid.au is asking for Dota 2 players, teams and volunteers across OCE as it works to build community leagues and tournaments on its Australian esports platform, according to a Reddit post from u/Ok-Willow-153 on r/DotA2 on October 25, 2026.
The post says Invid.au wants to create more organised competition for OCE players throughout the year. It is seeking signups from existing teams and solo players, while also calling for people who want to help run the events behind the scenes. The company says it is gathering interest first so it can work out the numbers, sort out suitable divisions and find days that work for everyone.
What Invid.au wants to offer
Invid.au says it wants to run organised Dota 2 leagues and tournaments for OCE, with support for both established teams and solo players who are still looking for one. The post also says it wants to set up LFT and LFP channels so players can find teammates more easily.
Other plans listed in the post include divisions based on skill and on how many teams are interested, plus scheduled matches, standings and playoffs. Invid.au also says it wants to provide casting and match coverage, along with registrations and a dedicated match centre through its own platform.
The post frames the effort as a way to give players more chances to compete, regardless of whether they have tournament experience already or are trying organised play for the first time. Invid.au says,
“You don’t need to be Immortal or have years of competitive experience.”
The company says it wants players who enjoy Dota and want to play organised matches to get involved. It adds that anyone with a stack ready to play, anyone looking for a team, and anyone who just wants to give it a go with mates is welcome to join the interest call.
Volunteer roles span the whole event pipeline
Alongside player signups, Invid.au is looking for volunteers across a wide range of staff roles. The post lists tournament admins, referees and moderators, casters and analysts, observers, production and stream staff, graphic designers, content creators and video editors, social media help, and developers.
The tournament admin role would cover registrations, scheduling, rules and help for teams on match days. Referees and moderators would deal with match issues and keep things fair. Casters and analysts would handle commentary, draft discussion and match analysis, while observers would follow the action for broadcasts.
Production and stream staff would work on streams, overlays and broadcast support. Graphic designers would make tournament graphics and promotional content, while content creators and video editors would produce highlights, clips and other competition content. The post also says social media help is needed to get the word out and keep people updated, and that developers could help with platform features, integrations and tournament tools.
Invid.au says these are all volunteer positions. It also says people do not need to know everything on day one, as long as they are reliable and willing to learn. The post tells interested people that everyone has to start somewhere.
Interest is being collected before the format is set
The current focus is on gauging interest rather than announcing a fixed structure. Invid.au says it wants to find out how many players want to join, which divisions make sense and what days work best for the community. That means the final shape of the league or tournament series will depend on who comes forward and what kind of response the post gets from OCE players.
The company says it already has a platform that can handle registrations, schedules, standings and match coverage. It says it wants to hear from the Dota community and build competitions that people actually want to play in. The post also says Invid.au is open to working with people who are already running a community or organising events.
It says the more opportunities it can create for players, the better. The pitch is aimed at both people who want to compete and people who want to help build the events themselves, with the post stressing that anyone keen to be involved should reach out.
To get involved, players are asked to join Invid.au’s Discord and say they are interested in Dota 2. The post asks players to share their rank, role and whether they already have a team or need one. People interested in staff roles are told to message Nukleuz with the role they want to help with.
The post also points to Invid.au’s website and invites questions in the comments. It ends by asking people to share the call with their stack if they think others might be interested in joining.
Team Spirit won The International 2026 after a five-game grand final in Shanghai, and Invid.au’s post arrives as community organisers continue looking for ways to keep OCE Dota 2 competition active outside the biggest event of the year. For this project, the company is trying to build that scene from the ground up with players, volunteers and existing organisers involved from the start.
OCE finally getting something?
