Starcraft is huge e-sport and basically a national sport in Korea.
The question that naturally arises now is if Starcraft 2 replaces Starcraft in Korea and if so in what time, what will happen to e-sports in general and similar questions.

I feel that Starcraft 2 will eventually replace Starcraft but it’s not going to be an instant process. It will take at least 6 months before Korea starts adopting Starcraft 2 and I’m guessing probably a year until the end of competitive Starcraft comes!
On a more global level I can see more countries strengthening their e-sports, Starcraft 2 competitions in particular.

Blizzard are basically making Starcraft 2 to be a competitive game and improving battlenet as well, what specific things are new in battlenet we'll have to wait a bit more to see but I think Blizzard will be revealing more on battlenet at the WWI 2008 in France!

As far as the gameplay goes it looks good but hopefully we'll either see some automations removed, degraded or new stuff added to compensate for the loss of skill automations contribute.

i see korea either taking it instantly (~a month) but there still being a few good players who haven't moved on to sc2, or they completely reject it and keep with bw.

I see Korea switching to SC2 in terms of OSL, MSL, etc when the game feels ready. What I'm trying to say is that SC2 won't be 100% perfect, but will take some patches for it to be ready for competitive play. Hopefully it won't end up like CS 1.6 and CS:S where most of the players in the 2 communities hate each other for playing a "bad" game. So far Blizzard has done a great job and I hope by the end of the 2008 WWI or Blizzcon that there will be a public BETA.
