ActionSlacks, Sheever, and ODPixel explain it all.

SirActionSlacks explains how the story of Dota 2 began. It all started when a thought entered the primordial mind, which eventually led to an argument so fierce it split the mind into two distinct cells: the Radiant and the Dire.

Sheever then describes the mystical world of Dota 2, where different Gods, demons, wizards, humans, and different types of creatures inhabited the central focal point of the plains of existence, which have multiple parallel universes and timelines.
