Dota 2 was not a mod, Dota was the mod. And Blizzard did not hire the guy that created the mod. Valve hired Icefrog who maintained the mod after the original creator(s) left to go create LoL/Riot. Icefrog went on to create Dota 2 at Valve, while the actual creators of the moba genre (the original Dota mod) created LoL. Blizzard not hiring either the creators or the maintainer (Icefrog) of the Dota mod has to be one of their biggest mistakes imo.
