Kicks so much ass to listen to when you play SC2. Simply because of these reasons:

1. You feel rich and classy when you listen to it, what could be better!

2. A lose with classical music playing is like losing a game of 4 square, yeah you lost but who gives a shit?

3. Because what's more satisfying than stomping face on the ladder with classical music in the background, it instantly makes you the shit.

4. According to some random institute it makes you smarter for reasons that are probably not true but still I can dream can't I?!

5. You feel so intelligent than just glaring a rubix's cube will solve it.

No but seriously I love listening to classical music when I play because I can really clam down and actually think about the game. When I listen to my Metal play list I play like a hyped up crack head with 200 apm but I lose because I just tell shit to go random places and build like 400 supply depots in 6 seconds. When I listen to my techno music I bust out in a rave with my phone only to have the song end and look back to see "Defeat". D'oh. Anyway that's my random blog about classical music and its pure awesomeness.

I definitely listen to classical music when I'm relaxing, but with sc2, I really need pump up music to get the APM flowing.

I can't listen to classical music while playing.

1) Being a classical musician I listen/practice/analyze this music every day.
2) I pay more attention to the music than the game.
3) If there is any small problems in the piece or if anything stands out (intonation, strings don't come in together, clarinet solo) I immediately need to switch it. Especially intonation.

I usually don't listen to music as i find it distracting since I tend to focus on the music more than the task at hand.

I feel better than everyone else when I listen to classical music. And thus, I become better than everyone else (in starcraft).

You sure about that?

You see, I play a bass instrument and cycling those 6 notes over and over and over again for 6 minutes to me does not make this the best song ever.

Despite that Classical music > majority of the stuff out there

I love game/scifi/movie OSTs and piano music over classical but it has its place right after those...

Pachelbel's Canon in D is definitely not obscure enough to sate the false sense of superior authenticity that hipsters thirst for.

Rachmaninoff ftw!!!

EDIT:

I listened to Rach 23/4 when I first did the probe harass UMS in BW and now I have that song in my head whenever I do scouting worker harass.

I like to listen to classical music while I play SC:BW because SC:BW is epic and an art.
