I recently posted about DotA over at BorkWeb and figured it'd be relevent here as well. If you haven't been enlightened:
The way the game works is this: there are two teams - the Scourge and the Sentinel - consisting of up to 5 players each that start at the top right and the bottom left of the map respectively. Each player chooses a Hero to control, level up, and attack with. The goal is to advance on the opposing team and destroy their Ancient (a large structure in each base). Along the way, players are pitted against a constant barrage of spawned creeps (which originate from the opposing side’s base), enemy towers, other players’ heroes, and world creeps. To aid in the advancement in levels up to 25, players can purchase items from various shops and combine many of them into stronger items.
You can view the various DotA game modes and commands at BorkWeb too.
