We hope at least a few of you are old enough to remember Defense of the Ancients, the very best mod for Warcraft 3, which allowed you to pit two forces of champions from the series against each other. Now some of the team from the mod have revealed their next project: League of Legends: Clash of Fates, a session-based action-strategy game that will have some of the persistent elements of an MMO. You can see the first trailer released by newly-formed Riot Games above.
There's not a whole lot of info on the game available at the moment, but you can be one of the first to get a closer look by signing up for next year's beta right here.
The 'real' youtube vid of it (i.e. not one of the many duplicates) is on 8 million views. It's kind of amusing actually, here in the UK all the cretins in the clubs love Basshunter, and none of them know he's actually a massive nerd in real life.
I taught at a tech/gaming summer camp this past summer, and the most popular game was DotA. So its definitely not an "us old guys" thing as you would think.
Dota is alive and well. You make it sound like it's a game of the past. I am about to log on to BNET right now and play it, along with thousands of others.
DotA is crap compared to Judgement day but I digress... I also hate trying to find a game to join in us east customs that isn't freaking DotA. ARGH!!! its not great its just massively popular one is not indicative of the other.

Look, my name is Titanium_Orchid and I know nothing of timezones.

That's a little presumptive to call it a masterpiece when you aren't even in beta.
Also, this:

Titanium_Orchid @ Oct 14th 2008 2:38PM
What country are those people from, and how can I get citizenship?
Jakka @ Oct 14th 2008 3:19PM
Is that a parody of an actual song, cos I swear I heard that before.
@ Orchid
It's called Sweden and statistically it's considered the best country in the world.

Those girls you only get in Europe. That's all I'm gonna say.
Erluti @ Oct 14th 2008 3:50PM
I'm pretty sure it's the actual song. The one I found first just happened to have sub-titles.
Haggard @ Oct 14th 2008 4:09PM
It's Basshunter - Dota.

vaylen @ Oct 14th 2008 4:52PM
I can't get my friends to buy WCIII to play DotA, so this is good as it will be free. I can't wait for beta.
