Not really all that popular as a game. But for a warcraft 3 custom map, dota is the most successful and popular in that category. It is popular because there are 100+ heros to choose from. It is free. Unlike playing Chess, dota has many options and strategys. Dota is not a mmorpg. which means those people that don't like to pay monthly fees and grind on random monsters will find dota a good alternative. Dota is not 1v1, it is 1v1 to 5v5. usually 5v5.

I play dota because, to be good in dota, it takes practice and hardwork. it requires a lot mathematical calculations before game and good reaction time/game sense during games. Where as mmorpg. espcially those Chinese ones. you can spend few gram and the gm will give you a level 200 account or something is for kids.
