StarCraft 2 Dota-Allstars, It's Possible!


StarCraft 2 Dota-Allstars Map is possible. Warcraft and Starcraft is like a twin brother. One will release after another and won't kill each other. And the next turn to release is Starcraft 2. Maybe you already know that Starcraft is more like future based games while Warcraft is the opposite, ancient based. Despite those different setting, there's a question arise. Is Warcraft III Dota-Allstars custom map will be possible in StarCraft 2?

Let's see.. Many new characters are being introduced into the StarCraft lore with the addition of the star map in Wings of Libery. These characters will provide missions and have various interactions with Raynor throughout the campaign. The question is, can we use those character on map editor like on Warcraft III? Blizzard has confirmed that it is possible. Not only that, hero abilities and leveling system is also allowed within the custom maps. Now, what's still missing? Any idea people? Yes, it is the items/equipment. What's the meaning of having heroes without great items right? But don't worry, items is also included in the map editor. That means all things necessary already served.

In the official Starcraft 2 Beta, a map editor will be included. This will provide Blizzard direct feedback from the map makers, including IceFrog (if he decide to make it). The feedback will give Blizzard some idea of which features needed to make a StarCraft 2 Dota-Allstars map and other custom map.

In summary, Blizzard is likely make Dota-Allstars possible to implemented in StarCraft 2. Now, let's just see what will IceFrog do with it ^_^

PS: The source is this site, you can see the interview with Blizzard people to confirm this.
