      I would say that was a strong influence but there were a lot of custom games with some of the elements of DOTA before it. I think DOTA defined the entire genre and how all the elements work first. Brood War just didn’t even have the options to make a real MOBA.

      Yes, it’s consistent with what the genre was called before it was shortened to MOBA. “Aeon of Strife Styled Fortress Assault Game Going On Two Sides”. A.k.a. ASSremovedS
