Why didn't WoW take off as an e-sport?
I remember when Arena first came out in TBC the whole big thing was pushing WoW as an e-sport and soon it felt like the game was being balanced around PvP.
I remember them coming out with the tournament realm and they even had WoW Arena at MLG. So what happened? Lack of viewers? Lack of sponsorship? Lack of Blizzard pushing it further?

Lack of a spectator mode, and until recently, the ability to challenge teams from other realms.
It's been gaining some traction again lately with the NAO invitational, but it might be too late now.
