    • Trivia
      The developer of Warcraft III, Blizzard Entertainment, largely opposed the development and branding of Dota 2. They filed an opposition to Valve's trademark, but the ruling was in Valve's favor, effectively transferring the franchise away from Blizzard and to Valve.

      [from trailer]

      Shopkeeper: Often, I am asked: "what does a hero truly need?"

      [chuckles]

      Shopkeeper: Much depends upon the hero. Would you be swift? Then for you, I have speed beyond measure. Would you be strong? Then I can grant you the might to overpower any foe! Would you be wise? Then come closer and I will unlock your inner cunning!

      [beat]

      Shopkeeper: What does a hero truly need?

      [screen switches to black, briefly, before returning to the shopkeeper]

      Shopkeeper: That is for *you* to decide...

    Easily one of the best games in the world
    From slaying your enemies, to killing the neutrals - be ready for one of THE best games!

    I would give it a ten but it seems disrespectful to warcraft III and its expansion which really deserve pure tens.

    The game really took it to a more international level and gained much more fame dota 1 (Which myself i prefer the most).

    Many graphic updates, some gameplay changed and I have to say, it worked out very well.

    The game is really addictive so prepare!

    Valve did a nice job, although Blizzard had done better before it. Still hoping to see Warcraft 4!
