DOTA 2

DOTA 2 (Defense of the Ancients 2) is a sequel to the popular multi-player RTS game, which initially began as a mod for Warcraft III from Blizzard. Choosing from one of the hundreds of lead heroes, players will engage in 5v5 strategy combat online against others as they defend their bases and seek to conquer their foes. DOTA 2 is a significant game in the competitive circuit, with consistent live-streamed tournaments with vast prize pools that keep people returning to this massive free-to-play title.
