*Defense of the ancient[Dota]*

I know that there are definitely a lot of ONLINE GAMES around in the game industry.

Right now, i will start on talking about the most popular online game in town. i am pretty sure that everyone would agree with me that the most popular online game in town now is Defense of the ancient which is also being known widely as Dota as a short-from.


Brief introduction to Defense of the ancient[Dota]

Basically, Dota is a online game with two opposition teams (The Sentinel and The Scourge), each with the ultimate objective of destroying the World Tree of the Sentinel or the Frozen Throne of the Scourge. Each team may consists of up to five players and normally both teams would need to have the same numbers of players before the match could be started.Thus, Dota is an online game that is about team play or teamwork among the various members in the teams.(not forgetting that microing and denying of the individual players are also relatively important in the overall game play)

In the newest official released version which is 6.44b, with the addition of 6 new heroes after the long wait, there is a total of 88 heroes, 43 Sentinel heroes and 45 Scourge heroes.
