Defense of the Ancients (more commonly known as DotA) has grown into one of the most popular RTS games in Australia today. It is an individual map which can be downloaded for free at www.getdota.com and played using Warcraft III's Frozen Throne Expansion.

Players have the choice of up to 91 unique heroes with different skills and spells. Players throughout the years have developed many different ways to play each single hero. By allowing different item and skill combinations, DotA has become one of the most diverse competitive games to date. DotA also features different game modes to cater for different gamers, whether it's a relaxing All Pick pub game or a more competitive League Mode game.

GotGames is currently running the only paid competition for DotA. $500 is up for grabs to the winners of DotA Open Ladder in Season One. Registrations for the open competition can be found by following the links in the ladder console on the front page, and signup is free to all players.
