esports

Original：🇺🇸 English

Translated

Esports data — Dota 2 (OpenDota) and League of Legends esports (Leaguepedia). Pro matches, tournaments, teams, and structured LoL competitive data. Use when: user asks about Dota 2 pro matches/teams/leagues, or LoL esports tournaments/rosters/results. Don't use when: user asks about esports betting/odds — use the `kalshi` (get_esports_odds) or `polymarket` (get_esports_events) skills (no keyless bookmaker-odds source exists). Don't use for non-Dota/LoL titles (only Dota 2 and LoL are covered).

Esports Data

Keyless, public sources. No API key, no signup.

Dota 2 → OpenDota (
```
api.opendota.com
```
). Real JSON. Free tier ~60 req/min.
League of Legends esports → Leaguepedia Cargo (
```
lol.fandom.com
```
). Structured rows. CC-BY-SA — attribute Leaguepedia when you reuse the data.

CRITICAL

Dota 2 only for match/team/league data (OpenDota). LoL uses Leaguepedia Cargo.
Leaguepedia is aggressively rate-limited. The throttle comes back as an in-body error (
```
Leaguepedia API error: ...
```
) on an HTTP 200 — not a 4xx. Results are cached ~30 min; don't hammer it.
No odds here. Bookmaker odds for esports are not available keyless. For implied-probability signals, use
```
kalshi get_esports_odds --game=cs2
```
or
```
polymarket get_esports_events
```
.
Personal use. Third-party ToS apply (OpenDota MIT; Leaguepedia CC-BY-SA).
