It is why I stopped playing SC, and I was never any good anyways. Still fun, but it just hurt real bad.

I stopped playing SC competitively because it's too stressful. Both physically and mentally. Hitting 300 APM continously in a game for up to 60 minutes at a time makes your hands go numb. And the adrenaline rush makes you want to go running afterwards. With games like LoL/DoTA at least you have a chance to take a break after a gank/farming/ team wipes. With starcraft every decision has a significantly higher compounding effect

Hell I never played it competitively. I had to stop playing it even casually because it physically hurt.
