A few years ago Blizzard teased a custom map for StarCraft 2: Wings of Liberty titled Blizzard DOTA. It only seemed natural that the creator of Warcraft 3, the game that indirectly introduced the action RTS/MOBA genre into the world with the original DoTA custom map, would make a game of its own. More than a year into development the full potential of this game was understood, and Blizzard immediately began working on a full release independent of StarCraft 2.

From GameWatcher: "Getting good at almost any real-time strategy game usually takes a lot of time and practice. Its often an arduous process of research and training to master a game like StarCraft II: you need to learn build orders, how to counter enemy units and micromanage during battle to even compete at an intermediate level. Its no surprise, then, that a lot of players just dont have the time for it."
