Aeon of Strife is a Starcraft map that paved the way for the development of DotA and League of Legends. Hence the game-type of these games are referred to as "AoS".
(I checked that on a Starcraft wiki :>)

"Aeon of Strife had 3 players and 1 computer on each side. There were 3 lanes, horizontal and parallel. In each lane there would be checkpoints and units spawning from each base. " - that's the basic description of what AoS really is.
The goal is to push these lanes until you destroy the main objective in the enemy base.
here's a video that will answer any questions left unanswered

I didn't want to give the guy wrong information, had to make sure ;D

Oh thanks! Now I understand.

Yeah, it's a custom map for Starcraft titled "Aeon of Strife". It inspired "Eul" to make "DotA: All-Stars" in Warcraft 3, passed it to "Guinsoo" then finally to the current developer "IceFrog". An epic guy likes playing this map, his name is "Karassu".
Guinsoo contributed to the AoS type game called "League of Legends" as a game designer.
Now, these games are categorized as "MOBA" (Multiplayer Online Battle Arena).

Its sad how the DotA team got so split out. Guinsoo and Pendragon works for Riot; IceFrog for Valve, and they hate each other.

I'm still waiting, Pendragon.

I still hate Blizzard for not making
the Dota game with Icefrog!

Omfg! Really?

@Mythic, Lol, the massive was just a mistake. I edited it. About the name, just a single capital letter man.
@JustinBieber, actually the game "Heroes of Storm" was meant to be "Blizzard DotA", but because Valve already used the name "DotA", Blizzard can't anymore.
@ShadowShaman, Yeah Really!

He probably meant justicebringer as JustinBieber.

 

[_PV]

Probably, but the relevance in the two is like non-existent XD

 

[Chen]

He just loves to call JusticeBringer as JustinBieber. He's EPIC.

Talking about AoS, I wish we could bring those maps like EotA Twilight or some good quality maps to the professional MOBA competitions. That would be epic.
