In case some of you are interested, Valve Software recently trademarked 'Defense of the Ancients'. The extremely popular mod for Blizzard's strategy Warcraft 3 has evidently caught the attention of the well-known development studio. Now, at present there are only rumors surrounding this report, indicating that the developer might be looking to collaborate on a new DotA game with the famous 'Icefrog' team.

Personally, Warcraft 3 is one of the best real-time strategy games I've ever experienced and DotA's mechanics sure are catchy once you get into it.

I'm really hoping this turns into something new and refreshing. God knows we need more decent strategy games out there.

Well, yeah, I know there's SC 2 too :)
