Purge knows everything about DOTA development today on Lore! Have Fun!
In 2002, Blizzard released WarCraft 3 and packaged it with a robust multiplayer mode that had players all around the world scrambling to climb the Ladder. But while they were duking it out in the Lost Temple, mapmakers were busy tinkering with the World Editor and pumping out countless maps that flooded the custom games list -- though none had the staying power of Defense of the Ancients. DOTA was released in 2003 by mapmaker Eul and took advantage of WarCraft 3's hero system while doing away with resource-management and base-building. The five-on-five format exploded in popularity, and with the impending release of WarCraft 3's expansion pack, DOTA's best days were still ahead of it.
The Frozen Throne delivered a more sophisticated World Editor, but Eul passed the proverbial torch to Steve Feak, better known as Guinsoo. Guinsoo improved upon Dota by adding Roshan, an item recipe system, and dozens of new heroes. This variant, named Dota Allstars, became the most popular, and was eventually handed over to IceFrog after several updates and revisions. DOTA grew well beyond WarCraft 3's shelf life, but being shackled to an aging RTS engine started to wear on the game and its fans.
As competitive online gaming evolved, the industry took a long hard look at transforming DOTA into a genre of its own, and soon, pretenders to the throne sprang up everywhere, but none bore the DOTA name -- that is until the brain trust at Valve decided to enter the DOTA arms race. After snapping up the rights to the name and assembling an all-star team that included IceFrog and Eul, work began its DOTA's spiritual successor in 2009. Valve revamped the Source engine and implemented features the community had been clamoring for since its WarCraft 3 days, and after nearly two years in beta, DOTA 2 was released in July 2013, 10 years after Eul uploaded the very first version of Defense of the Ancients to Battle.net.
Have fun!
