What it does

One coach, the whole game.

Most tools hand you stats after you've already lost. Highground calls the play in the moment — from the draft screen to the last high-ground dive.

⚔Draft & counters

Know what to build before the horn.

The instant the picks lock, Highground reads the enemy roster and names the items that actually win — each tied to the exact enemy heroes that make it right, learned from 51,492 pro matches.

  • A trained model per item, not a hard-coded tier list
  • Shows the enemy heroes driving each buy
  • Picks your position and your hero's core build vs this lineup

🎯Live danger & fight calls

The call lands during the fight, not after.

Highground watches every frame: your death risk this second, fights breaking out across the map, and the running score of the brawl you're in — so you know whether to dive or bail while it still counts.

  • A live death-risk read that knows which enemies are missing
  • “Fight forming” the moment two teams clash — before the kills
  • “We're winning the fight, 2 to 0 — stay on them” from the first trade of your fight

The coach's voice

What it says — and exactly when.

One game, start to finish. Every line below is a real call Highground makes from your live feed — not a menu you dig through, a voice that talks when it counts.

Draft
“Heavy burst and two stuns on their side — the board favours a save support. Winter Wyvern fits your lineup and is strong into their picks.”As you pick — synergy with your team and counters to theirs, ranked by what actually wins.
Picks lock
“Three stuns and Lion burst — get a Black King Bar. Lotus Orb answers his Hex.”The moment the draft locks, the item plan follows.
Laning
“You're 600 gold behind par for minute 8 — play safe and hit the small camps between waves.”Your net worth, measured against how pros pace this hero.
Rotation
“Fight forming — Roshan pit. Two of theirs already there.”Caught the moment two teams clash, before the first kill.
Your fight
“We're winning the fight, 2 to 0 — stay on them.”The running score of the brawl you're standing in, from the first trade.
Objective
“Three of them down — take Roshan, then push mid.”Only once the fight that made the space is actually over.
Danger
“31% death risk — their Lion is missing, back off.”It knows which enemies are fogged, not just how many.
Post-game
“You fell behind par at minute 24 — the fight at Roshan turned it.”An honest report the moment the match ends.
Straight from the app

Before and after.

The live coach is above. Here is the draft read before the horn and an honest review after the throne falls.

The draft advisor: rosters, who's favoured, and the positions pros pick here

The instant picks lock: who's favoured and by how much (counters, synergy, hero quality), the positions pros pick into this lineup, and every matchup arrow — from 51,492 pro games.

Win chance & prediction accuracy

The live win-chance curve, plus how close each prediction landed — graded against the real result.

Every death on the real map, with your HP, allies near, unaccounted enemies and whether the coach warned you.

Why trust it

Trained on the pros. Not scripted by us.

Every call comes from a model fit to real winning games and checked against a shuffle control — if the signal isn't real, it doesn't ship. We deleted the hand-written heuristics on purpose.

100%
of item advice is model-driven

Trained, not guessed

A logistic model per item over the enemy roster and your hero — recovering the counters pros actually build, verified against a shuffle.

Honest when unsure

When the lineup forces no specific item, it says so instead of inventing one. No filler advice dressed up as insight.

Reads your feed only

It watches the same official telemetry a stream overlay uses. Nothing writes to the game. Your account is never touched.

Straight answers

The questions everyone asks.

What is Highground for?

To make you a better player — more aware of the map, making the right call at the right moment, spending your attention on what actually decides the game. It never plays for you. It helps you read the match the way it was meant to be read, and enjoy Dota more for it.

Will I get banned?

No. Highground runs on Valve's official Game State Integration — the same feed Valve built for overlays and casters — plus what's already on your own screen. It never reads game memory, injects code, or automates play, which are the things anti-cheat actually acts on. GSI only ever exposes information already available to you as the player, so it can't reveal anything hidden — it's the same category as the overlays millions already run.

Does it work at my MMR?

The models learn from pro games, but the advice applies from Herald to Immortal — counters, timings and fight reads are fundamentals. It coaches the game in front of you, at your pace.

Which heroes are covered?

All 127. The counter model covers every hero with no hand-written gaps — pick anything, on either team, and the read holds.

Will it slow my game down?

No. It runs beside Dota as a light companion that reads the official feed; the coaching shows on its own page or a second screen — not as a heavy in-game overlay.

What does it cost?

$5.99 monthly or $49.99 yearly. The yearly plan works out to $4.17 per month and saves about 30%. Early-access requests are not charged until access is ready.

Why you're here

Every call points one way. Up.

Herald to Immortal, Highground coaches the game in front of you — the counters, the timings and the fights that move you up a bracket, then the next.
