HOW TO: Play DOTA 2 in Offline Mode ( Without Internet )
Dota 2 is a 2013 multiplayer online/offline battle arena video-strategic game and a stand-alone sequel to the Defense of the Ancients( DOTA) in Warcraft III: Reign of Chaos and Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne map.
Dota 2 is primarily multi-played with a fast and stable internet connection, yet there are a lot of people want to play it offline — bandwidth and slow internet connection issues. Hence, it is preferable to choose to play offline.
Note: Before playing an offline game, the user needs to log in at least ONCE in the steam to set it to Offline Mode.

STEPS on HOW TO: Play DOTA 2 in Offline Mode ( Without The Internet ) **You can play it in LAN. And you don't need to connect the internet for that**
First things first, you need to download and install STEAM and locate and download DOTA 2. (you may download this Dota2 Game in web shop or your office or just copy dota2 backup files and restore to your computer)
