Starcraft is serious business.

There have been some serious accusations of match rigging for some high level competitions. People have been living (and dying) just on starcraft alone. While it isn't as popular as it used to be given how many games are currently being released it still remains very popular to this day. Just as one example there are two stations dedicated to Starcraft alone. Koreans take their gaming seriously.

More information on the scandal.

Korea Swept In Illegal Starcraft League Gambling

Since we are talking starcraft I would definitely check out HDGamer on youtube he really showcases some really exciting games and is quite good at what he does as he recently was signed on professionally as a commentator. I can see why this would be a good spectator sport.

PLAAAAYGUUE!!!!!!​

He managed to plague all their science vessels and will lose everything but one health. Pretty harsh for the Terran player.

PLAYGUE!
 
Yeah all of his science vessels would die in 1 hit by a mutalisk, the mutalisks glave swarm goes to 3 targets, could've taken out 3 science vessels in 1 hit!
And Koreans just go bonkers.

Ah stereotypes......they seem to play themselves out....

Yeah I'm Korean and yes I HATE Starcraft....kept dying during the tutorial...
 
lol and you know what? like my friend was narrator for games when I was in Korea and hes voice was always out cuz they yell so much like in video
 
Well the Scandal is sort of old. What's more interesting is that Battlenet's user agreement makes it almost impossible for TV Stations to air Starcraft 2 games, which puts many of the competitive tournaments into trouble
