- Before proceeding, you must have downloaded DOTA 2 Reborn Custom Maps first.

For example : I will create a folder named 'Overthrow' then open GCFScape.exe, select and open 455312245.vpk then extract it to "Steam\SteamApps\common\dota 2 beta\game\dota_addons\Overthrow"
3. After extracting, open DOTA 2 using revLoader.exe, in console, type:
dota_launch_custom_game example
