It's been a long Blizzard dropped the "Heroes of Warcraft" subtitle and the title of the forum still has it.
Update maybe?

the reason they dropped the 'heroes of warcraft' line in the name was due to them feeling to constricted in design choices when making new cards, so they dropped it to free themselves up to create totally new content within the warcraft universe that never existed in any form before, such as how 'the grand tournament' is reference to the crusaders coliseum content of patch 3.2 back in wrath, or how more recently 'knights fo the frozen throne' is reference to the icecrown citadel raid from 3.3, and how blackrock mountain adventure encompassed both the original BRM instances in wow and the cataclysm expansion with the later fights in the adventure, with characters taken from these places as influence, but many many more made up for the purposes of making interesting cards and maybe introducing new mechanics.
Yeah it might be dyieiying if you give crap about esports. For everyone else it will be fine for couple of years, so not really dyeieoeng.
But since everyone defines game as dying in a different way, I suggest to drop this daft off-topic discussion.
I would argue that eSports is not a good indicator of 'consumer interest'. It's a good indicator of interest in general, at least for people who enjoy watching someone else play it, but not for the people who are actually buying and playing it. That's the real target Blizzard is aiming towards.
I hope they'll finally realize once and for all that making their games "eSports worthy" shouldn't be their goal, it should be to make them as fun and enjoyable as possible to play.
I can't remember the last time I actually paid for cards, spend the 5k-6k gold I make across the expansion just doing quests on the new packs then rinse and repeat. Accumulated over 20k dust and haven't even de'd the last couple of expacs so pretty comfy to play whatever and not have to spend anything.
I play pretty casually though, usually on my lunch breaks and shit at work, so usually hit rank 3 or so to get my golden epic each month.
