Another interesting element about Arena is what's going on outside of the game. It's the first title that Wargaming's Alliance label is publishing. Representatives for the studio teased that they are already speaking with other developers about potential partnerships to help them extend their traditional games into online, free-to-play space. If all goes well with Arena, Wargaming could be seen as the go-to publisher for helping manage these kinds of transitions

I will add 1 quote, in addition to the ones you mentioned, which all stood out to me as well:

 Like any other free-to-play game, its success will be dictated by whether or not it can attract and retain a playerbase.

What comes down to in MOBA games from my experience is a good commercial and advertising. My first time I tried League of legends was after some pretty cool battle commercial type of video. And I think wargaming could provide the sufficient advertisement skills, I mean have you checked some of the world of tanks commercials. Damn they could do a movie after

 

 

Ohh and I forgot, the variety​ of content. For example there are currently 136 released champions​ in League atm, Thou what arena is aiming is a different type of gamers (Strategic)

 Mr. Martsinouskaya: Wargaming is a company of F2P, I do not intend to make a fierce monetization game for Creative Assembly, and they do not want it either.

 Mr. Garcia: I can not stock it. It is a specification, and even a formal service. As an image, it is not like repurchasing a large amount of silver every time to repurchase a tank, it is close to an image like paying a repair fee after a battle and re-sorting. In historical facts, a huge cost was required to reorganize the troops, but "TWA" is a game, so it has become possible to organize units with low numerical values.

 

 

 

BTW: Looking on how questions was created e.g

 - "TWA" has interestingness with combinations of units, is there a factor like a set bonus depending on the combination?

 

I would be not suprised if that interview was not "spontaneous" but created for Marketing objectives.

They didin't say that, it was just PR talk.
