  • Ep.248 – Warfare on the Map - Dota and the Origins of MOBAs
    2025/05/29
    Today, we’re diving into the origins of Defense of the Ancients—better known as DOTA—and tracing the birth of the MOBA genre. We begin by exploring how a humble Warcraft III mod, inspired by the StarCraft custom map Aeon of Strife, redefined competitive gaming with its hero-focused gameplay and team-based strategy. Then, we’ll follow its evolution through community creators like Guinsoo and IceFrog, and the rise of DotA Allstars, which set the stage for modern esports. Finally, we’ll reflect on its transformation into global juggernauts like League of Legends and DOTA 2, and the billion-dollar industry they helped build. So rally your teammates and get ready to push lanes on today’s strategic trip down Memory Card Lane!
