I think it's just cause the game came out in 1998, right when the Internet became a really big deal in Korea and they were capable of better speeds and what not. The game just came out at the perfect time. It was just the game to play at the gaming cafe's that they all go to and it caught on and of course is still going, although Starcraft 2 isn't near as popular there as Brood War was. It's easy to see Brood War came out in 1998 and wonder how people could play it for so long competitively and not get bored, but up to last year when Blizzard basically killed it off in favor of the newer game, Brood War was still changing and new build orders and strategies were being created. Pretty amazing when you think about it.
