Sorry, had to reply because StarCraft is one of my things and the post here is pretty ignorant. Brood Wars is still played for some tournaments, but PROFESSIONAL leagues have entirely switched to StarCraft II. There is no Brood Wars pro scene anymore in Korea, so yes, it did overtake it. They stuck with Brood Wars for a while, but that was almost entirely because of broadcasting and publishing rights.
