Valve announces sequel to Warcraft 3 Mod Defense of the Ancients

Yes, Valve.

Not Blizzard. See, Valve likes to do awesome things, and among those awesome things is offering awesome jobs to awesome modders. So after Defense of the Ancients became the second most addictive landmark in Warcraft history (you know, after that one thing), Valve scooped up one of the gametype's more prominent creators -- a guy who goes by the name of IceFrog� -- and set to work on scraping away the crusty remains of the fittingly ancient Warcraft III engine, giving the whole production a nice, even coat of Valve polish, and adding some potentially game-changing community features. So, aside from graphics that won't leave your eyes feeling like you just took a dip in a pool full of lemon juice, what's Valve bringing to the table? Well, with the exception of snarky voicework and bots to replace players who disconnect, most of Valve's biggest contributions are focused on the community. Most interestingly, the developer's adding a coaching system that rewards experienced players for taking defenseless newbies under their wings.
