Blizzard and Valve jointly announced today that they’ve come to terms over the use of the DOTA mark in upcoming products. Under the agreement, Valve will continue to leverage the DOTA mark commercially — which means DOTA 2 will remain unaffected —  while Blizzard “will preserve noncommercial use of DOTA for its community with regard to player-created maps for Warcraft III and StarCraft II.” Additionally, in accordance with the agreement, Blizzard DOTA has been renamed Blizzard All-Stars.

“Both Blizzard and Valve recognize that, at the end of the day, players just want to be able to play the games they’re looking forward to, so we’re happy to come to an agreement that helps both of us stay focused on that,” said Rob Pardo, Blizzard’s executive VP of game design.

He added, “As part of this agreement, we’re going to be changing the name of Blizzard DOTA to Blizzard All-Stars, which ultimately better reflects the design of our game. We look forward to going into more detail on that at a later date.”

“We’re pleased that we could come to an agreement with Blizzard without drawing things out in a way that would benefit no one,” said Valve boss Gabe Newell. “We both want to focus on the things our fans care about, creating and shipping great games for our communities.”
