One thing ill give Bilzzard, is they actually support there games, I dont think anyone could think of another game thats still getting updates 8 years after release.

Saying that Starcraft is by far the most "professional" game around, esepecally in South Korea with it still being one of the most played games

I am the same as Esky. I sometimes have the urge to play a little Starcraft. The fact that it is still played 8 years on must be a record.
