DOTA 2, short for Defense of the Ancients, is a 5v5 Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) game that originated as a mod for Warcraft 3. Due to its popularity, it was developed into a standalone game. In DOTA 2, players select heroes with unique abilities and work together to destroy the enemy's base structure.

What sets DOTA 2 apart from other MOBAs is the level of control players have over a vast and complex map, which adds both a layer of difficulty and an addictive challenge to the gameplay.
