I think it barely lasted two Blizzcons before they stopped trying. It was a shit show, both in terms of unbalanced unfair madness, and it was impossible to follow/narrate with the speed it usually unfolded.
It was either over in 15 seconds with a successful burst that was anti-climactic, or that failed and it was an endless turtle that nobody wanted to watch.
I lived for the arena for a while and never even realized they were trying to make an eSport out of it.

There was more variety than that. Somtimes there was a long minute of empty screen then 2 seconds of backstabbing.
