Dota2 is a multiplayer ( 5 vs 5 ) online video game. This game is developed and published by Valve. The game is a sequel to Defense of the Ancients (DotA), which was a community-created mod for Blizzard Entertainment’s Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and its expansion pack, The Frozen Throne.

Development of Dota 2 began in 2009 when IceFrog, the lead designer of Defense of the Ancients, was hired by Valve to create a modernized remake for them in the Source game engine. It was officially released for Microsoft Windows, OS X, and Linux-based personal computers via the digital distribution platform Steam in July 2013, following a Windows-only open beta phase that began two years prior. The game is fully free-to-play with no heroes or any other gameplay element needing to be bought or otherwise unlocked. To maintain it, Valve supports the game as a service, selling loot boxes and a battle pass subscription system called Dota Plus that offer non-gameplay altering virtual goods in return, such as hero cosmetics and audio replacement packs. The game has also been updated with various other features since release, such as a port to the Source 2 engine and support for virtual reality.

Dota2 is played between two teams consist of five players of each team.all the players have to select a ‘hero’ before starting a match. In the match, every player has to buy items in order to level up the characters and make their heroes more powerful so that they can win the match. In order to win the battle, all players have to defend their area and destroy the enemies’ ‘Ancient’(a large structure located within their base).
