Historically the biggest eSports (CS, Quake, BW, WC3, DotA etc) are more often than not PC games and so have had little following in Japan. They do have a thriving arcade scene and so do very well when it comes to fighting games. The Japanese SC2 community probably consists of a small number of hardcores. sc-times.net There is this website which has been running for a long time, and other websites for the Japanese Starcraft scene. Interest has never really been the problem, it's just the fact that its not a sustainable career in Japan. Even fighting games are not in eSports, so they are typically only competitive in arcades. A professional scene has never been possible, but many have tried over these long years. This tournament is great news for Japan. If this is successful, hopefully they'll start getting some real money involved. All Japan needs is money. Sustainable careers. You'll see plenty of Japanese progamers at that point. | ||

I heard the GO scene blew up because of that show. | ||

It's much less that competitive gaming is not popular, much more that PC gaming is not that popular for competitive gaming. for the Japanese, multiplayer gaming is still very much an in person social experience, this is why it's done more in arcades or in public places with handhelds. | ||
