&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;People who think it won't are too narrow-minded and don't accept anything beyond CS and RTSes.

WSVG has already picked it up for a 3vs3 tournament, and the Regional Finals showed that 5vs5 matches can be interesting to watch.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It's all about exposure, and with over 8 million players, Blizzard will no doubt do everything in their power to make it an attractive eSports title for those that enjoy competitive play.
&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Arenas help offer this without detracting from the rest of the gameplay as well, so that's a huge plus.
