I read a particularly damning article a week ago on fighting game fans. I imagine that photo was taken just before they set upon it with fists of impotent yet oddly boner-inspired rage.

Was it in reference to the stupid comments that guy made during the Capcom reality show?
Because the guy who made those comments is actually infamous for hitting on that trap. The even have shirts about it.

Willingly watching somebody else play a video game is something I'll never understand. I get angry when I watch other people play games. "O.K. HURRY UP IT'S MY TURN GODDAMNIT!"
I get you're not into sports? 
Starcraft is not a sport. I can play Starcraft in my bedroom. In my underwear.
And you can play football in your underwear outside... If you compete in it it's still a sport.. Especially since the winner gets around 25k

I find watching other people playing games to be exceptionally boring. I don't understand why you would voluntarily subject yourself to this.

It is a matter of competition. Nobody wants to sit and watch somebody play a single player or cooperative game just like nobody wants to watch somebody hitting balls in a batting cage or playing Golf by themselves.
The games people like to watch are competitive RTS, fighting games, MOBAs, etc.
There is no difference between watching two professional players playing Starcraft or Street Fighter and watching professional tennis players playing a match or two MMA fighters competing.
All of the things that give real sports depth and make them interesting exist in esports as well you just have to have a game you are interested in. I can't sit through the vast majority of fighting games no matter how good the players are, but the ones I play myself and understand I can watch for hours.

It is about the video game Starcraft 2. They broadcast the finals of some major tournaments including commentators and all that jazz just like a sporting event.
The "Barcraft" bit is just about a bunch of organized watch parties for those events at bars all over the place. "Bar" + "Starcraft" = "Barcraft".
