Sundance is at it again on twitter. The coming Arena's (both SC2 and LoL) will be free.

feeling good about making Arenas freemium. also feeling good about the drink I just poured.

Between a sponsor and strong season pass sales for Spring, this became possible

Yes I meant SC2 as well as LoL. Yes Gold members still have benefits. Yes, I’m having another drink.

Final note - this is possible because we did well with season passes and crushed it with Anaheim. Opened the door to more partner $. (cont)

We have options now. Makes my job more enjoyable. Hopefully everyone who hasn’t had a chance to watch an Arena will enjoy. Yay growth!

So Arenas will now be under the freemium model like their championship events. No word on what benefits the Gold Members will get.EDIT: It is unconfirmed whether this is for all Arena's from now on. Summer season is freemium for certain though.
