DOTA is whatnow?

So... I've heard people mention DOTA. From context, I get that it's a PC game with a notable following, and a sequel. It's been around for a whiiile now, I think, but I never found out what DOTA stands for. Ok, I'm game.

Without google, I'm going to figure out what DOTA stands for. I'm going to assume that OT is "of the".... cuz it almost always is.

Day of the Tenta-.. oh wait.. 'A'... 'A'...
