Isn't Aeon of Strife first? (SC Brood War map) or did it come out after dota 1?

I would say that was a strong influence but there were a lot of custom games with some of the elements of DOTA before it. I think DOTA defined the entire genre and how all the elements work first. Brood War just didn't even have the options to make a real MOBA.
