Are you a fan of Dota 2? Probably, you know IceFrog, the claimed creator of Dota 2. Many games in the eSports industry have front-facing designers and directors who put a face to the game's development team.

Valorant has Anna Donlon, Overwatch has Jeff Kaplan, and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) Brendan Greene, while Dota 2 has IceFrog, who is quite different from other famous names in the gaming industry.

He is a much more elusive person than Kaplan and Donlon, who had appeared in front of a camera to discuss the rationales behind meta-shifting patches and the state of their game. Dota 2 fans rarely get updates from IceFrog, since he only shows up just a few times every year or sometimes even less.

He only greets the followers a happy holiday with only a sentence or two or points them in the latest patch notes' direction. His latest tweet was last Aug. 24.

TI finals is always the best day of the year, sad we don't get to see a new champion today. This has been a really tough year for a lot of people around the world, hope you are all keeping safe. — IceFrog (@IceFrog) August 24, 2020

"TI finals is always the best day of the year, sad we don't get to see a new champion today," he wrote.

"This has been a really tough year for a lot of people around the world, hope you are all keeping safe," he added.

Because of his mysteriousness, people have no idea who he is or where he came from. Here is some information you need to know to answer those questions.

IceFrog is not Dota 2's creator

IceFrog is not the creator of "Defense Of The Ancients," the WarCreaft 3 mod that became the basis of current MOBA games. Kyle "Eul" Sommer originally created dota in 2003, who the name of the item "Eul's Scepter" came from.

An indie game developer @lowbottgames has started a project to port Warcraft 3 custom maps to the DOTA 2 Arcade.

Sommer left the game after the release of expansion pack "WarCraft 3: The Frozen Throne," which revealed a number of new tools and units to the game's map editor.

IceFrog's real identity was leaked by an anonymous blog post, claiming that his real name is "Abdul Ismail." This was confirmed by a legal document in 2017, which was related to a lawsuit involving Valve Software, which detailed IceFrog's real name.
