They have professional leagues where the average player makes more than the average Korean. 
They've attracted international players.
Players have groupies.

Seriously, WTF.

The first paragraph made me laugh so hard.

Shadow Of A Doubt:
I have a friend who watches star-craft tournaments online.

Is it any weirder than the crazy-love for the snooze-fest that is American football?

Yeah, I hate watching what's essentially a game of chess played by the greatest athletes in the world too.

Only because much of the world has an odd fixation with one sport or another but for Koreans, it seems to be a video game.  Which seems to be unique.  To the point that they, the 25th largest country in the world is the second largest consumer of that video game.  Its a bit weird.
