The two teams are called Radiant and Dire and both teams have their side of the map wherein they each have their Ancient. The objective of the game is simple even though the full gameplay is complex. Eventually, the lead designer Icefrog was hired by Valve to create a modern remake of the game so as to make DOTA a standalone game instead of just a mod of the Warcraft III engine. The game is a sequel to the original Defense of the Ancients which was a popular game mod of the Warcraft III engine. DOTA 2 is a Multiplayer Online Battle Arena or MOBA wherein two teams of 5 players compete against one another to destroy the other team’s Ancient.
