It's the most popular real time strategy game in history.
You start the game with some worker units and a base. The worker units can gather resources. They can use those resources to build unit-creation buildings and unit-upgrade buildings.
Once you've got a unit-creation building you can start using resources to build units. Early units are basic and weak, later game units are stronger and have special abilities but require more resources to build.
Game is about 50% fast-twitch clicking and multitasking and 50% strategy.
The best players hone their opening builds to perfection, have an APM (actions per minute) in the multiple hundreds and know all the different strategies and counters.
SC1 is basically the national sport of korea. They have pros and multiple tv networks that focus only on the game and arena style matches with thousands of spectators.
