Tournaments with all the big StarCraft names never went away. They've been happening happily on the regular with good ol' Brood War:

The game has aged beautifully, thanks to great continuous patching by Blizz, keeping the game running on modern OS's without finicky behaviour. This 4K remaster in my opinion is purely icing on the BW cake rather than a burning desire of the community. From a business perspective, I think Blizzard is hoping the BW eSports scene can become more international , vibrant, and bring in some active revenue for being a much-loved game.
