dota never made it in those big competition because blizzard does not show support and approval of the game. Since it over-shadowed the original Warcraft 3 itself. You go outside see all those little kids playing dota doesn't even know what the hell is Warcraft 3

Unlike Blizzard, Valve actually supported and help market the HL mod as part of their product, so CS made it in to those competition because they got support from the original game creator Valve.
