Remember they took Valve to court over Blizzard DOTA, and lost. That's what prompted their revised ToS for Reforged since they  really didn't want...

In regards to DOTA 2 though, Valve does appear to be cutting back on the game's E-Sports scene, as there will be no Battle Pass for it this year...

They lucked out with SC1. They actually handled SC2 so badly at launch that a lot of Korean and American local TOs run SC1 instead, even to this day.
