HELL YEAH.

I think this info ripped from the Starcraft Q&A will put a smile on everyone's face.
So basically, everything you love about starcraft will remain unchanged, yet everything you love about custom games will be making an entrance into the starcraft universe.
(and please don't turn this into a thread about DotA.... that was just the example the blizzard team used to explain the functions of the editor... instead just jump for joy and talk about how much you can't wait for this game!)
SO... now that there is no debating that SC2 is going to be everything War3 is and then some, lets get down to business. What kind of custom game would you look forward to making?

Chat with Devs:[/b] One of the most popular questions we get when it comes to creating UMS (User Map Settings) games or mods is: Will there be a DotA for StarCraft II?
For those who are not familiar, DotA (Defense of the Ancients), is a popular UMS game created for Warcraft III. StarCraft compared to Warcraft III, does not focus on heroes as much, and heroes or units do not have the same experience gaining mechanic as Warcraft III, making it difficult to imagine how a game like DotA could be reproduced for StarCraft. Nonetheless, after chatting it up with our devs, we found out the ability to allow heroes and units to gain experience is built into the Map Editor, though it will not likely be in single player or standard multiplayer. In addition, those units can also be toggled to have the ability to carry an inventory, which is also a characteristic needed in UMS maps such as DotA. With those two additions, we can rest assured that our clever community modders can handle the rest in creating some awesome custom games.
