Bloomberg has an article up that makes Fatal1ty's upcoming 60 Minutes appearance seem like little more than a visit from the ice cream man. How? By pointing out that South Korea's StarCraft tournaments net between 600,000 to 700,000 attendees each year. And now, the nation's second largest bank, Shinhan bank, is sponsoring the "Star League" — a weekly competition that airs for three months, much like a sports season over here. Funny enough, when South Korean baseball held their All Star game in Busan in 2004, 15,000 fans made their way into the stadium to watch the festivities. That very same day 100,000 game fans were at a different outdoor stadium watching a video game competition on seven jumbo screens. Is this how it's gonna be in America?
