Comment: This is the evolution of DOTA.But what exactly lies behind these four mysterious letters? DotA for Defense of the Ancients, is basically a scenario Warcraft III , which sees two teams of five players, one side of Sentinel and Scourge of other on a map symmetrical and whose purpose is to go sack the enemy sanctuary, the famous Ancients.
I could gush on to explain all the mechanics behind DotA and what makes it great, but there really is so much depth to this game that it would take me another two articles to get through it all. All you need to know is that DotA is often considered by gamers to be one of the staple competitive games at any legitimate eSports event. It's incredible when you consider that DotA is, literally, a single map on a seven year old game engine.
Of course, while there have been a few attempts to "re-create" the DotA experience (gaming marketers around the world are crying in their pillows over the fact that they can't monetize this game), nobody has been able to make a sequel that preserves the true depth of DotA. In fact, many gamers had given up on DotA ever really getting a real "sequel" until the release of Stracraft II, when (hopefully) IceFrog will magically port DotA over to the SC2 engine and continue this map's legacy.
