Professional StarCraft competition

The real time strategy (RTS) computer game ''StarCraft'' had an active professional competition circuit, particularly in South Korea. The two major game channels in South Korea, Ongamenet and MBCGame, each ran a Starleague (Ongamenet Starleague, MBCgame Starleague), viewed by millions of fans.
Starting in about 2002, pro-gamers started to become organized into teams, sponsored by large South Korean companies like Samsung, SK Telecom and KT. ''StarCraft'' is also the most popular computer game competition during the annual World Cyber Games thanks to its Korean fanbase, and it is overall one of the world's largest computer and video game competitions in terms of prize money, global coverage and participants.〔(Rise of the e-sports superstars ) BBC Click article〕
Over US$4,000,000 in prize money has been awarded in total, the vast majority of which comes from tournaments in South Korea.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=StarCraft: Brood War on e-Sports Earnings )〕 For several years after the release of ''StarCraft II'', competitive ''StarCraft: Brood War'' was no longer televised. However, in early 2015, the game returned to Ongamenet's televised lineup.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=10th SonicTV Starleague )
Throughout the establishment of the Starcraft II pro-scene, the GSL and WCS formats became the main avenues for top tier individual competition, with WCS "points" replacing the ELO for assigning yearly rankings. Proleague was limited to a team-based format, with the most recent version being the SK Telecom Proleague, consisting of the 8 Kespa teams of South Korea competing. As of 2015, the World Championship Series (WCS) was the main format for the Starcraft II 1v1 pro-scene. The top-16 ranked players qualify for the ultimate end of year tournament at Blizzcon, with the winner being crowned world champion.
== Participation outside of South Korea ==
There have been several commercial attempts to bring televised professional StarCraft matches to audiences outside South Korea. GOM TV hired Nick "Tasteless" Plott, an American who previously cast StarCraft at the WCG and other international events, to provide English commentary for the 2008 GOM TV Star Invitational and the 2008 Averatec-Intel Classic tournaments. According to GOM TV statistics, over 1 million viewers watched the GOM TV Star Invitational matches with English commentary.
Many StarCraft fans outside South Korea download video files of the pro games to watch on their computer. This has spawned a small community wherein StarCraft fans post the files to video sharing sites such as YouTube, but with their own English commentaries dubbed alongside the original Korean commentary.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=SC2GG VOD tracker )〕 Notable English-speaking YouTube commentators include Day9, KlazartSC, Diggity, Moletrap, NukeTheStars,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.youtube.com/user/NukeTheStars/ )〕 and Rise.
The Collegiate Starleague is a seasonal intercollegiate league that is modeled after Korea's ProLeague.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=cstarleague )〕 It was founded in 2009 by students at Princeton University. Its fourth season (Fall 2010) marks a shift from StarCraft: Brood War to StarCraft II: Wings of Liberty, and includes the participation of over 100 North American colleges including Harvard University, Yale University, Cornell University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Rutgers University, and Case Western Reserve University. Notable contributors and players include Sean "Day()" Plott, Kevin "QXC" Riley, and Andre "Gretorp" Hengchua.〔http://www.cstarleague.com/about〕
