Mod developer IceFrog has announced today that he's joining Valve to help Defense of the Ancients: Allstars "reach new heights" (via Shacknews). While IceFrog didn't say whether he'll work on a new game with Valve using the same rule-sets as the RTS/RPG hybrid, he did make clear that his current priority is to finish the current 6.64 patch for DotA, and afterward plans to begin work on the following 6.65 patch. Though it seems that it's business as usual for IceFrog, he has been given an entire team to manage at Valve.
IceFrog is one of several maintainers of the DotA mods; the original Allstars creator, Steve Feak, is currently working on League of Legends.
