If you don't know what it is, you should probably start with League of Legends (LoL). It's about as popular as Counter Strike, if not more so. The original Defense of the Ancients (DOTA) is a mod for Frozen Throne. However it just isn't worth playing anymore with the rampant disconnecting players/leavers issue. Hardcore peeps (non-competitive) play Heroes of Newerth (HoN) since it's the most similar to the original DOTA, aside from DOTA 2, which is partly made by the current modder of the latest line of DOTA maps. LoL is easier to get into if you're new to the genre.
Personally I prefer HoN over Dota 2 or LoL. For more specific info you can just...Google.
