I've been trying to think of a better name, the best I have so far is TTD - Team Tower Defense. If you have a better idea I would love to hear it.

Tower Defense is already a genre, where you build towers to prevent enemies from reaching a goal, so unfortunately this name won't work.

I would argue that Dota is just tower defense which predates the common form of tower defense made popular on mobile phones. There are towers, creeps follow established patterns, and the creeps attempt to destroy those towers. That's tower defense.
