The largest active community on STEAM Ever. It's all about 'The Radiant' and 'The Dire'; 102 heroes, gold, enemies, defending your ancients and much more. Yes, we are talking about The DOTA 2, the most happening game of the decade. With a rating over 9.0/10.0 on all the websites that you can imagine. Sounds great, doesn't it?

Defense Of The Ancients 2 a.k.a DOTA 2 was released on July 9 2013 for Microsoft windows and on July 18 2013 for OSX and LINUX.

The basic setup of DOTA 2 places two strongholds containing critical structures called "Ancients" at opposing ends of a geographically balanced map. These bases are connected by three main paths (referred to as lanes), which are guarded by defensive towers and groups of units commonly referred to as "creeps" which traverse their lanes, attacking enemy units and structures upon sight. Players are split into two teams, each consisting of up to five players, to compete as the primary defenders for each Ancient.
