Dota 2 Reborn: Custom Games Are Here

The popularity of the mod created originally for Warcraft 3 attracted the attention of Valve Corporation, hiring "IceFrog" – the mod developer that made it increasingly popular – to create a sequel, giving birth to Dota 2. It was warmly received by gamers and won awards as the best multiplayer game of 2013.

The game is played in a map between two teams, the Dire and the Radiant, each consisting five members. Each base consists of a structure called “Ancient” and the goal is to destroy it, similar to capture-the-flag mechanics. Each player chooses a “Hero” with unique abilities and attributes before the game starts.

The focus is to level up and acquire combat-enhancing items to increase your team’s chances of winning the game.
