Summary
StarCraft is a famous real time strategy computer game. Each player commands a specific race (Terrans, Zerg, or Protoss) with its own attributes and abilities. The goal is to accomplish a specific mission or to eradicate all of your enemies on the screen. StarCraft allows online and network play through the Blizzard service Battle.net.
StarCraft is an American game, but it gained a huge following in South Korea. While the U.S. online play for the original game isn't as robust as it used to be, the Koreans still play the game fervently, to the point where it has virtually become the national sport, in all but name only. The best Korean Starcraft players are hailed in their home country as great sports stars and treated in similar ways to soccer stars in Europe or baseball stars in America.
Origins
