| Is this photo the real face of Icefrog? |
Many DOTA fans have been asking this for ages, who is Icefrog and what is his real name? Dota has been around for so many years yet the mysterious developer behind the success of Dota (he continued developing Dota after Guinsoo and Euls, one of the creators of Dota) has not been known ever since. Although some may have claimed they have seen him in person, but those are just claims that are circulating around the internet without proof.
Some players may say that we should respect why he wants to remain in secret, but those reasons being speculated doesn't make sense at all.
Is Icefrog afraid of threats because of the game going famous?
Like the creator of the infamous game "Flappy bird", the creator deleted his game because of some threats he received, but still it was another conspiracy theory. But, when Icefrog continued to develop Dota 1 from the Warcraft III engine, it wasn't even famous that time and no one thought that it could become famous like what it is now today. So saying that the reason why Icefrog is hiding his real identity due to threats doesn't make sense at all.
Is Icefrog afraid of the spotlight?
Like the question above, who thought that his game could be famous? Most game developers show their faces, not because they want spotlight but because they want to be known. But Icefrog seems to be one of the mysterious game developers today, some people may say that he is like a "god" doing the works while being invisible.
Is Icefrog a devil/demon?
Some people claimed that Dota is a demonic game and that Icefrog doesn't want to be known because he is the devil.
Is Icefrog an idea?
Some speculated that Icefrog is a group of game developers who made Dota to what it is today. Some say Icefrog is an idea that made the game improve through the ages.
It is a mystery to all of us Dota lovers out there, we may want to know who is behind the making of Dota. But don't you think we all deserved to know the face behind the success? What are the reasons behind this secrecy? Are there conspiracies involved? For now, we don't know, but someday we will. But how Icefrog has hidden himself from the internet is something that makes it creepier and mysterious. But if you have any ideas out there, we are here to listen, just comment on the comment section below.
