Talk:Defense of the Ancients: Allstars/@comment-62.57.160.236-20120912193411/@comment-24439516-20140722055637

Eul, the man who invented Defense of the Ancients, gave is blessings to Dota 2, so Valve can rightfully and legally acclaim that Dota 2 is the only official sequel to DotA.

But we must also consider that Dota 2 isn't "really" DotA, it is DotA: Allstars. And DotA: Allstars was invented by Meian (that used heroes invented by others) while most of the original content was introduced by Guinsoo. So what we're playing now when we play Dota 2 is really a sequel to what Guinsoo did back in 2004 and early 2005. And this means that if Guinsoo makes a new game similar to DotA (League of Legends) with the intention to overcome the limitations of the Warcraft III engine that impeded him to really did what he would liked to do, this videogame could be truly considered a "spiritual sequel" to DotA: Allstars, even if it don't sports the same name.

In short: Dota 2 may be the official sequel to DotA according to Eul, but League of Legends is the real sequel of DotA: Allstars according to Guinsoo.
