Game mode dota

There are many commands that you can enter during the game, some impact the
game itself, while others display useful information. Here we provide a list of most
of the commands in the game. There are some other commands that you can also
use, but they are almost entirely for fun and have no impact on the game, so we
will start by covering only those that impact gameplay.

All commands must be preceeded by "-" to work, for instance, "-ma". All game
modes must be entered on a single line preceeded by "-", for instance, "-
apemomsc".
