Kratos? Wasn't the God of War Called Ares? (Request Subscriptions and Monthly Tickets)

By mid-May, DOTA was still as popular as ever.

However, FOW had also been making frequent moves, launching all kinds of promotions for its new game, Olympus.

Whether it would actually be fun was unclear, but judging from the promotional material FOW had released, it had attracted quite a lot of players.

Inevitably, it
