It isn't that people are misinformed about Dota 2 or even ignorant. People that have gone through BW to Sc2 have dabbled in ARTS (AoS in BW or original Dota in Wc3) the fact is that they can't respect the game from a mechanical standpoint.
Many BW supporters can't respect Sc2 because of this reason, it is natural to have Sc2 supporters hate on ARTS for the same reason.
Especially when Dota 2 fans post about how they got "bored" with Sc2 or how Sc2 isn't exciting because Koreans are dominating.
-Like they wouldn't be dominating Dota 2 just like they are dominating LoL.

Well you have to understand that most of the people following Dota 2 on TL came here first for BW or SC2. If they are watching Dota 2 now instead, it almost has to be because they are sick of SC2.
I'm not surprised that WCS is at the top, this is a Starcraft site first and foremost after all. But since TI2 last year, I have had almost no interest in playing or watching SC2. I watched and played hundreds of hours of that game, but Dota just holds my interest better nowadays.
Regardless, it was silly of Blizzard to schedule WCS for this weekend. There is enough overlap between the fan bases that nobody wins as a result of them being on the same weekend...both games will lose viewers to the other.
