Introduction[edit]
The Chinese Starcraft is the biggest starcraft scene in the world outside of Korea.
When StarCraft was published in 1998, it was soon popularized in China. Fanaticism soon developed in the Chinese teenage population, and never actually faded in the following decade. China is also one of the first Asian countries in which the art of StarCraft Strategy was extensively studied and developed. For years, the enthusiasm for StarCraft and StarCraft progaming, as well as the number of StarCraft progamers (such as Super, Lx and F91), is second only to South Korea.
