Deathball:

Deathball is a Dota 2 strategy where a team groups together early to take towers, win fights, and keep momentum instead of splitting up to farm. It usually relies on strong early-game heroes, pushing abilities, and staying as five to overwhelm the map before the enemy lineup comes online.

The term is used to describe both a draft built for early pressure and the coordinated playstyle that follows. In Dota 2, “deathball” matters because it can snowball a lead quickly by converting won fights into objectives.
