    Hey guys S2 games have opened up the closed beta to open beta till Christmas. For you Dota fans this is a must play. Ive been in the closed beta for a while now and am loving it. The game has reached 60 characters now with the latest patch and S2 is devoted to bringing more dota classics as well as new original heroes. Happy gaming!!

    I was interested to try it a few months ago but i heard its full of unbalanced heroes and it doesn't have the strategy of dota in it, but who knows maybe in the future it will get better. I also heard rumours about IceFrog cooperating with Valve in making a dedicated game only for DotA, basicly the same game with improoved graphics, now i can't wait for that :)

    LE: Here it is: http://www.sk-gaming.com/content/26546-Icefrog_to_lead_Valve_team_for_DotA_project but i guess most of you guys have already heard about it?

    Hmm I heard it was a straight copy of Dota, just renamed and improved graphics while retaining the terrible elitism. League of Legends is a good game as well.
