The spinoff Dance of the Maple Leaves (featuring Mozi and
Guiguzi in advisory roles!) is excellent as well:

As soon as 3 was released, I stopped following the series:

I just did an essay on this exact topic actually.
There are a few reasons.
As others have stated, PC gaming is not popular in Japan, for
various reasons. They tend to lean towards smartphones and
consoles (if you call them that) such as the Nintendo DS. Often
this is because of the structure of esports games, for League of
Legends for example, when you press play, you have to sit there
and play for 40 minutes, until the game ends, and usually you
wouldn't just play 1 game in one sitting, maybe you would play 3
or 4. This is a damn long time, considering it takes many games
to actually achieve a decent level of skill at the game. People
in Japan prefer to play games on the train, after finishing
homework, and so on. You have to remember that the typical
Japanese child and Japanese businessman typically has less free
time than their Western counterparts. Afterschool classes are
common. Japanese businessmen are often expected to go out to
dinner or drinking with their workmates after work. As a result
of this, a game that you would usually sit down and play for
maybe 3 or 4 hours simply doesn't fit well into their lifestyle.
Japanese gamers prefer to play games that are made in Japan, and
their video game industry is extremely good at keeping the
Japanese video game market this way. The highest selling games
in Japan are games like Mario, Pokemon, Final Fantasy, Monster
Hunter etc etc. Apart from a few notable exceptions, these games
tend to follow a certain format. Either a) there is a famous,
lead character (Mario) or b) you collect monsters and battle /
trade with them (Pokemon, Monster Hunter). But the best selling
games in America? GTA, Call of Duty, Assassins Creed etc. You
can clearly see a difference in the style of game that is
popular among gamers in both societies. Popular Western games
tend to have a more "mature" theme.
The way Japanese society is set up, taking a year (or 2 or 3)
off of study to be a professional gamer is often a massive risk.
Good universities are competitive, and things such as gap years
are uncommon among students. On top of this, they don't have the
esports structure that Korea has.
One thing that is important to note about Korea and China, the
reason they have big esports scenes is because they heavily
imported video gaming from the West. Japanese video game
imports were banned, so their video game scene, without a strong
basis for their own industry, was heavily influenced by the
West. When video games first started becoming popular, the two
biggest markets were America and Japan. Japan has stayed quite
reclusive, America has branched into esports, and together with
Korea and China (well the strength of China and Korea in esports
is another topic) has made it into a huge industry.
