What's the state of Heroes of the Storm esports?

I've said it before but this game has nothing to lose from just trying really weird unique wacky crazy ideas that separate itself from the other games, mobas in particular.

PBR or MM or educating players might reduce a frustrating gameplay experience, but there needs to be a reason for players outside of HotS or blizzard to care about the game out at all.

Blizzard invested in SOOOO many promotions for this game (HotD, 2.0, sponsoring LoL players, contests, sweepstakes, chogall event, cross-over promotions, helping with pro scene funding).

No doubt that draws players in but curious if they collected data on why player retention might not be so high.
