Look, StarCraft is a good game, but really, its not the best RTS out there. And while Korea obsesses over it, that's not exactly a good thing. There have been better RTS games that have come out since, both in innovating the RTS genre and in just plain fun factor. But beyond that, even when StarCraft was king, some people didn't think it was the end all of RTS. Age of Empires II was much more interesting to me simply because it was a much bigger game in scope and didn't fall into basically one of three strategies to win. Nor did the game become so focused on tournament play or intense micromanagement.
But the basic thing is, StarCraft is a 10 year old game and has been overtaken by other RTS games which have surpassed it. Yes its the most popular and most played, but that doesn't mean it isn't without faults and showing its age. And if one game gets too big, it can actually hurt a perticular genre when people won't play anything else.
