TOP 10 Facts About DotA - Defense of the Ancients

TOP 10 Facts About DotA - Defense of the AncientsI have created various articles regarding Defense of the Ancients or more popularly known as DotA. Most of the addict players spell it as "Dota", sometimes DOTA, but the correct way to write it is with a capital "D" which stands for "Defense", small letter "o" for "of", also small letter "t" for "the", and another capital "A" for "Ancients". The game is owned by Blizzard Entertainment under Frozen Throne. Many, young and old play DotA because of the main reason that it is a Team Game, yes! it can also be played by just 1 vs 1 or 2 vs 2, but it is more fun and exciting when you play the game 5 vs 5 or 6 vs 6 as the maximum. Most of the DotA players are close friends, here in the Philippines they are called "barkada" or "tropa". Some players made DotA the main source of their income by betting some money while playing with other DotA players (of course, you need to win the game to be able to earn money), while others just play the game for fun and leisure. Another good thing about DotA is that, there are a lot of "Heroes" you can choose to play. And how powerful a hero defends on how good and experienced the player who controls it. Now for this top ten lists, I gathered some of the facts about DotA. The facts are under the history of DotA, main people who contributed to make DotA known worldwide and more.
