Blizzard Entertainment i Valve ostatecznie doszli do porozumienia w sprawie praw do nazwy DOTA. Valve zachowało prawo do komercyjnego używania nazwy, podczas gdy Blizzard może jej używać w celach niekomercyjnych, także postanowili twórcy Diablo 3 zmienić nazwę gry na 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, executive vice president of game design at Blizzard Entertainment. "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 Gabe Newell, president and co-founder of Valve. "We both want to focus on the things our fans care about, creating and shipping great games for our communities."
