DOTA is a custom map for warcraft 3 / warcraft 3 TFT.
It's a spin on the Aeon of Strife custom map and it was famous because if I recall correctly was the first warcraft 3 map with custom skills. It was created by Eul who later left the development of the map. Several updaters succeded each other and the last "major" updater was kegsta from clan ward but the map always remained on warcraft 3. Eventually someone remade the map for TFT (Guinsoo) where it took off because TFT overthrow classic warcraft 3 and because the search of balance eventually made classic dota stale. While TFT dota as it is now is the better map, I do miss the custom textures and models used in the classic dota =/
