Trivia

  • The DotA equivalent of the Dire was the Scourge.
  • In DotA, heroes were affiliated into the Scourge and Sentinel factions. This division was seen in the older picking screen.
    • In DotA when playing the Normal game mode (also called "Pick Mode"), players could only pick Scourge heroes while on the Scourge team, and vice versa. This game mode is not present in Dota 2.
