IceFrog the creator of the highly popular mod for Warcraft 3; Defense of the Ancients, announced today that he has been hired by Valve and is now managing a team there. He is supposedly working on something very special for the Dota Fans. No words yet on if it will be a dota remake of some sort or a completely different project all together. A Straight quote from his forum states the following.
I am now leading a team at Valve! I finally have all the resources needed to do some very exciting stuff that you guys will love. I look forward to revealing more specific details when the time is right.

Fans of the original mod don’t have to worry though as he also states that he is still releasing new patches one already on the way with a few balancing issues worked out and another in development containing new Heroes or possible remakes.

I dont think it will be a remake as S2 soon will have Heroes of Newerth (HON) released. Or atlest i hope so
As far as I can recall, icefrog did NOT create DoTA, he’s just maintaining it. The responsibility was “handed down” to him when the previous modders left for other projects, and items were added in the mod named after the previous modders (Guinsoo, Eul, etc.).
IceFrog maintains and updates DOTA now, he is by no means the creator of the map/mod. Try get your facts straight.
HURGH.
