 As such, Korean professional athletes and general users' efforts have greatly revived Starcraft and have made efforts to maintain it until now. But the reason for the modern Starcraft trend seems a bit different from the past. In the past, Starcraft was famous and popular. But modern Starcraft is like a general culture. If you do not know Starcraft, it is based on the idea that you can not belong to a group(in school), so people do Starcraft. The social structure has not changed much, but the way the game is popular seems to be different in different generations.
