I do not like ValvEA. :|

Guess it'll be up on Steam soon.

I'm not certain they can actually get a trademark on this, and I wouldn't be surprised to see other people who were involved in making DOTA what it is attempt litigation against it.

No it was made with the WC3 editor and based on a mod made with the original SC editor.

They're making a new DOTA with the Source Engine.

Yeah you can play Dota 2 currently it's just still in beta and not available for public download. If you wanna pm me your steam account name or e-mail tied to it I can send Dota 2 invite as a gift.
