Lane is the main road connecting the “headquarters” of the two sides together. The fighting between the two sides is mainly located on these roads.

The white line is the line showing the lanes. Route 1 is Top lane (top), number 2 is Mid lane (middle) and line 3 is Bot lane (bottom). The blue line is the river that crosses 3 lanes and is also the main road to move back and forth on the battlefield.

In the image below, the 3 gray squares are 3 Towers (watchtowers) in each lane, and you have to clear the turn from outside to inside. Each time you destroy the Tower, the whole team will get more than 200 gold. Destroying all 3 outer towers will destroy the house which is 6 light blue circles.

2. Jungle (Jungle), Secret shop and Neutral Creep fields on Warcraft map

In addition to the main roads, in the fierce Warcraft battlefield, there are also mysterious areas containing many traps and dangerous creatures. There are 4 main areas located between the lanes.

The Jungle (Jungle) is the most mysterious and trap-filled area in DotA, an ideal place for the enemy to hide and ambush you.

The purple triangle shows the location of the secret shop (Secret Shop), which sells items for the war between the two factions. The two Secret shops located between the lanes are places to sell high-end items that the shops at the main house do not have, the remaining 2 secret shops are located in the forest that only sell some common items but it also helps players save time traveling moved on.

The word RS (circled in yellow) on the map is where Roshan appears. RS is the strongest creature in DotA, there is only one RS and it is extremely powerful. To destroy it, it is necessary to combine the strength of the heroes and when killing him, your team will receive a very valuable reward. 10 minutes from the last death Roshan will reappear, killing Roshan will pick up the Aegis revival item (also known as RS item) that helps the hero respawn at the point of death a few seconds later. This RS item can’t be removed when picked up, except when it dies, it disappears on its own. The third time when Rosan dies, it will drop more Cheese, when used, it will immediately restore 2500 HP and 1000 MP.

In addition, in the forest, there are neutral creatures called Neutral Creep (denoted by small yellow dots scattered in the forest).

Yellow dot is low level Neutral Creep, orange dot is Neutral creep level 2, quite strong.
