Looks good for me. Probably going to abandon the ladders once this custom map is out.

i like the idea of separating heroes into siege tank dps and support rather than str int and agi like in most 'MOBA' genre games =/

What is MOBA means?

Well, I actually surprised to see a siege tank in Blizzard Dota. I guess I too used to DOTA heroes concept.

I see I see...So MOBA stands for Multiplayer Online Battle Arena. Makes sense.

I hope that Blizzard Dota going to be awesome and surpass Dota 2. It would be nice if Blizzard staff put 100% effort on this custom map.

From what I heard, it is a custom map. Not sure they will change their mind later or not.

Well, custom map with ladder system. It is more like SC2 mod. Something like Bejeweled.

Okay.. Anywho, the biggest concern I think for Blizzard DotA is very simple. The limited selection of heroes to use. The thing is, this requires more balancing than that of StarCraft II and there's still a lot of balancing that needs to be done what with the new expansion coming out soon and whatnot. Part of the fun in playing the original DotA map in Frozen Throne was that heroes kept being added to the mix, making it an everchanging and for it to sustain that kind of play value, Blizzard will need to dedicate a special division to manage this shit.. I just really hope Blizzard knows what they're doing.. :|

Since I am enjoy playing their Star Bejeweled, I guess their Blizard Dota going to be awesome.

For those who want to know more about Blizzard Dota, there is a FAQS at Blizzard site.

EDIT: Some gameplay video for the Blizzard Dota
