Good article. I'm not much of an RTS fan, but I am impressed by the feeling of "real world" that some of the RTS games give, e.g. "Age of Empires II".

I find it interesting that the leading pro players in South Korea are media stars. How are the matches viewed by the audience? On the Web?

In korea there are 2 cable and 1 satalite channels covering progamers' leagues 24 hours(Ongamenet, GemBC and sky GhemTV, where the latter does for only 18hours a day). You can also watch Ongamenet and GemBC on the net, they stream on air broadcasts which require registration and about US$3 for a month's view.
