throne
The Ancient — the core structure you have to smash to actually win the game.
Definitions
The win condition. Everything — towers, rax, fights — is just clearing the road to the throne. Drop it and the game's over, no comebacks.
Old-school term carried over from Dota 1, where the Scourge's core was literally the Frozen Throne. Plenty of players still say throne over 'Ancient'.
