Steve Feak, also known by the nickname of Guinsoo, is an American game designer, and was the previous designer of the popular Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne custom map DotA: Allstars.[1] Feak attracted the attention of the game industry and Riot Games, when his mod, known as Dota-Allstars, was played by 10 million gamers. He began this project while studying computer science at the University of Wisconsin. Feak has since been employed by Riot Games as a game designer for League of Legends, a video game inspired by his previous work.
