Blizzard has issued an official statement regarding the Arena being disabled. The Arena has been disabled due to issues after today's game update.
Quote From Mary Anne Lee UPDATE: 10:36pm PDT on June 3
We’ve resolved the issues with arena mode and expect to make the mode available again shortly after this post goes live.
The 14.4 update for mobile will now begin at or around 9am PDT tomorrow morning, June 4. The update will take some time to complete, so please allow an hour or so to see the update reflected on your device. We will provide updates during this time as well so you know when to expect to see the game live.
We’ve identified an issue with Arena caused by the most recent Hearthstone update, which requires us to temporarily disable the game mode. During this time, Arena will not be available for play. Please check back on this thread for progress updates on the issue.

Smells like free arena run ..! ^^
Did someone say something about a small indie company?
No but they did say Thunderfury blessed blade of the wind seeker
I just got a free ticket plus the rewards from my unfinished run. Guess they had to reset arena.
I still have no patch on mobile.
What's going on?!?
Me neither. Seems the Casual Mobile Set (which is supposed to be the bread and butter) has been forgotten? I just don't have the sort of lifestyle or job that allows me to play HS on anything other than my Mobile.
You haven't been forgotten, there was a twitter response/update somewhere I saw where they said there were issues with the app stores deploying the patch.
As for your comment about lifestyle/job. I should hope you aren't making a regular habit of playing HS at your job. You're getting paid to do work, not fuck around on Hearthstone. I don't give a crap if other people have jobs that do allow them to play Hearthstone, doesn't fucking matter if it's on mobile or if it's on PC, you're there to work, not play games.
As for your "lifestyle". What does it matter if you have to play on PC for a day or two until the App Stores push the update through? Unless the only time you ever can play Hearthstone is on a commute or "not-at-home" then you have other problems, like allocating "you" time at home, or a spouse that will let you play games at home if that's the case.
Once again, another infantile whiny comment with a "me me me, the world needs to revolve around me" mindset.
You have no fucking clue what I, or my wife for that matter, do for a living. Jumping to conclusions is great and all. But it makes you look like an ass hole. As it happens my lunch break is the only time I get to play HS for any meaningful time. When I'm at home I cook, clean, walk the dog, sort the trash all that Goober Bollocks that makes up a normal life. Which if you were old enough to have moved out your mom's basement you'd realise.
Douche.
Maybe if you got the sand out of your vagina you wouldn't care as much what strangers on the internet do on their job
I work a desk job for the state of South Carolina , get two 15 min breaks & an hour lunch. During these times are when I am able to play the most due to the fact that I have kids which are more important than any rank. So I am gonna be a little sandy when I can't play one of the few games I have time to play.
Unless you're their employer you probably shouldn't care what they do or don't do while at work.
The new patch will be available for mobile after 9am PDT.
I had an active arena run before the patch went online and as expected, when I logged in (after the patch was live), my run ended at 5-2 and all rewards plus a free arena ticket was given to me. I then proceeded to start a new run with my ticket and built an insane tempo priest deck with cards from the new arena rotation. After playing a little, I left the game and stopped at 2-0.
After a couple of hours, those strange, fruitless logging-in attempts happened at the EU servers and couldn't connect at all for some time. So, I tried a bit later and finally logged-in again to see that my ongoing arena run (2-0) was ended again and a new ticket plus the rewards were given to me for a second time. I was convinced that this strange transaction had something to do with the connection issues, but I didn't give that much thought at the time. I then built a crappy Shaman deck and ended up with 3 losses after a while. At a later point i tried logging-in again and saw that these connections issues occurred again and thought to myself that, had I left that crappy run going at 2 losses (if I rage-quitted let's say), I might have gotten a ticket for a third time.
I'm not encouraging exploiting a bug or anything of that short, just pointing it out and letting someone explain what really happened there. Did anyone else get 2 arena tickets or more the way I did?
I’m guessing it’s been a long night at Blizzard Towers trying to get all this fixed.
its just ridicilous that every time with a new updat there is something that does not work
is blizzard even testing the shit out before they update jezus
Blizzard is the huge corporation, they have to have a big and qualified staff of QA. Why some critical issues happen again and again? :)
Because the size of a company does not have any bearing whatsoever on technical issues? Literally every company has glitches, bugs, patch problems, etc. From the lowliest of software or app companies, to the biggest contenders around (like Microsoft).
Assuming that because a company has a QA team or is big and thinking that somehow that means that NO bugs should ever reach a live version of the product is such an infantile and asinine thought process I can only assume you're a child and have never lived a single day in the real world with any sort of responsibilities whatsoever. And if you find this response harsh, tough cookies.

Logged in this morning, saw that The Arena was greyed out and that I still can't play a game with SN1P SN4P because for some reason, and despite blaring about the 3/6/19 being The Rise Of The Mechs, they still haven't updated the bloody game in EU, and came here to moan about it. 😔
It works, just not on mobile, even in EU. I played yesterday evening on PC, now I can't do anything on my phone anymore, because the update isn't released there..
Do I sense a free ticket for everyone because of this? I certainly hope so.
