    I don't think e-sports, will ever be as big here as in Korea, although I don't follow it at all. I think we have MLG and others, but dunno how it compares to Korea.

    In my opinion, most gaming in the U.S. is in households (where PC Gaming centers have tried at the beginning of the decade, but most fail). In Korea, their PC Centers are everywhere, and that is where kids go to congregate and play, thus bringing a more competitive and personal attitude towards it.
