Unikrn, the Seattle startup that hosts a platform for people to bet on the outcome of professional video gaming matches, said Tuesday that it bought DotaProHub.

The Indian company builds an analysis tool for competitive matches of “Dota 2,” the online multi-player fantasy battle game from Bellevue’s Valve.

It was “Dota 2” that drew thousands of fans to Seattle last month to watch players square off for a share of $18 million, the biggest prize pool in e-sports history.

Unikrn didn’t disclose the price it paid DotaProHub. As part of the deal, DotaProHub’s two founders, Swaroop Hegde and Aditya Mukherjee, will move to Unikrn’s Seattle headquarters. A small team will continue working with the company in India.

Unikrn has pulled in about $10 million in investment from venture capital funds and a range of investment vehicles run by sports and media figures.
