In the West it may seem like the StarCraft IP as a whole is nearing the end of its line, but in South Korea StarCraft: Brood War is seeing a resurgence as old professionals are turning back the clock and returning to the game as new blood flows into the scene. There are a lot of potential reasons - it's best to leave it at that. It's been a slow and painful process for its community and any possible explanation as to why gets convoluted quickly. It's no secret StarCraft 2 has been slowly falling out of esports favor. The writing has been on the pro scene wall. No one would blame you for not paying attention to the current professional state of a 20-year-old game, but if you are one of those community members who's been keeping up with the StarCraft: Brood War scene, you probably aren't surprised at all that Brood War is getting attention from Blizzard again.
