Defense of the Ancients

I actually really it really looks like it's really hard to do it to them now

What do you are you on like a forum?

Yeah? Video we're like somebody somebody cracks the older iPhones Yeah, and then they try to crack the newest one, and it's the newest ones really really hard Wow Hey

All right.

You can ask

this guy who contributed.

I was on that forum.

There was a post for Zeus called, was it Mathcraft?

If someone doesn't know what that stands for, it's not going to explain nothing to them.

I regularly play Dota 2, Defense of the Ancients.

Okay, so you like to get choked and people spit in your mouth during sex.

That's what Dota players do.

Like-

The reason Dota 2 is Dota 2 is because Dota 1 was an add-on for or was an in-game-

A custom map.

Yeah

my gosh

Lex says, correction, it's Dota, not League of Legends.

So I actually went back and listened to this episode to get some context for this.

What's the

So the context, and we're actually, believe it or not, this is very topical, Garrett, because BlizzCon, of course, happened this week, and this would happen when this correction is from when i was talking about warcraft 3 so warcraft 3 is a real-time strategy game and for folks that don't know it you know it plays like a normal blizzard real-time strategy game but the hook

for it

was that you have these like hero units and you can build three of them per game and um these hero units are almost like role-playing characters themselves they have like individual stats they'll level up you get you can get different gear for them to augment their abilities and whatnot and you know this mechanic was so popular that people built a map in the game called defense of the ancients or Dota for short, which allowed you to play as these, just play as the heroes essentially and go like one-on-one with them.

And then you have like little units and it was almost like a tower defense game.

I just want to give a shout out to Kevin, the owner of Cyberdeck.

This is a place we went to, and our rotation was Day of Defeat, Counter-Strike, and Dota 1, original.

Hell yeah.

That is our cyber cafe.

Kuroki played support in Navi, and then he played carry in Secret.

But he played carry in Dota 1.

Sure.

I mean, if you want someone who genuinely never played carry before and then went to the role for the first time, I can't think of a single

So there was a fan base for it that liked aspects of it versus the other mega MOBA hits out there.

I mean, it's so hard to go up against both League of Legends and Defense of the Ancients.

And you're like...

What about us? And you're like, I mean, the

fact that you called it defense of the ancients is peak boomer.

I'm so proud of you.

Thanks.
