The question is...

Will it be able to compete with Dota 2?

DotA 2 is a full game now, hindi na siya map at least separate na ang associations sa Warcraft characters.

Question eh kung may legalities or copyrights ba nalabag?

[Rascha_D]

Not with the word DOTA. As long as walang title ng kahit anung game sa harap nung DOTA pwede. This DOTA is a SC2 map so you need a valid SC2 license.

Libre ba yung DOTA2 ni Icefrog?

Ang onti naman ng heroes eh.

Ahaha, okay lang. Wala naman ako Starcraft 2.

[siyado]

wow. i'm not into this genre but i might consider playing this just for the novelty of having all those awesome blizzard characters in 1 game. iba pag official

I renember that there was already a settlement between Blizzard and Valve, and that Blizzard will change it to Blizzard All-Stars.
