Released in 2013, Dota 2 is a multiplayer online battle arena (MOBA) video game developed by Valve. Serving as a sequel to Defense of the Ancients (DotA), a mod crafted by the gaming community for Blizzard Entertainment's Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos, Dota 2 engages players in matches pitting two teams of five players each against one another. These teams vie for dominance by safeguarding and maintaining their respective bases on the game map.
In this dynamic game, each of the ten players takes control of a formidable character, known as a "hero," each endowed with distinct abilities and unique play styles. As the match progresses, participants accumulate experience points and acquire items to enhance their heroes, enabling them to engage in thrilling player-versus-player combat and outduel the opposing team's heroes.
The ultimate objective is to shatter the other team's "Ancient," a significant structure situated within their base. Triumph is claimed by the team that succeeds in obliterating their opponent's Ancient first.
