Oh, I didn't realize Valve did that! I remember it as a Warcraft mod, and didn't realize Valve acquihired them.

Edit: maybe just acquired

Dota 2 is a complete re-implementation that Valve did independently. Dota is a Warcraft 3 mod. Icefrog was the main persona of someone who balanced the game. Valve was able to bring him over from Dota to work on Dota 2.

Is it an aquihire if the original product line isn't killed off?

That's a good point, lol. Just an old-fashioned acquisition, I guess.
