I've noticed that after i play a game of SC, i start feeling my right hand pinky starting to feel tired/sting when its curled while holding the mouse, is this a sign of carpel tunnel? Its funny cuz that pinky never actually clicks on anything...

Seriously though tingling when you stress the joint is a sign of carpal tunnel.

Do you really grip the mouse? I've never had any pain in hands when using a mouse or keyboard for hours and hours. I use very "free flowing" hands/fingers and apply hardly any pressure. I remember when we did guitar years ago at school some people gripped REALLY hard and they ended up getting sore and tired, while I didn't feel a thing.

May or may not help, but you could try relaxing or using a more free flowing mouse grip. My pinky has absolutely no pressure applied to it when I hold a mouse.

This is based on absolutely nothing BTW, except personal experience, but could be worth a shot.

I was hoping this was a thread about pinky and the brain.

Regardless, what do you mean 'curled while holding the mouse'? Do you curl your pink to the side and use the rest of your fingers?

If so as others have said it seems not unlikely that within a tense game you are compressing it and cutting off blood supply.

Hope you manage to figure it out.
