Panda: I don't really care whether DotA's exclusion is on whether its because its a mod. I believe its because its reach isn't global enough and it lacks a proper formalized ruleset. Remember, Counterstrike was the TOP multiplayer game of its time with millions of players from all over the world (Even in Korea). DotA's playerbase is probably also in the millions, but its not nearly as far reaching as CS (Its still largely unknown in the US and the non-Scandinavian parts of Europe)
But all that is irrelevant, because I take offensive about your initial comment (Which was what brought about TPK's reply) was your assertion that "Warcraft = Dota".
That's just knuckleheaded ignorance at work and pretty much moots whatever points you want to make about it.
