A completely arbitrary related concept: I'm much better at running my startup now than before I played StarCraft seriously.

StarCraft made me a more strategic thinker and it's why I think it might not surprise people that Emmett Shear (ceo of twitch) is really good at StarCraft.

I played casually in the early days, but a few years back I wanted to get decent enough to play online regularly, and it changed our company for the better.

Is it your skill at StarCraft, or could it be that you developed strategies for learning, resilience, etc while trying get better, and those are the actual success factors?

Conceptual stretching is my guess. More strategy than normal for me.

Do you micro the workers or focus on the macro game?
