I wonder if SC2 was out when those guys were alive, would any of them have become invested in the SC2 scene and become a progamer, thereby not becoming what they're known for?

Also Einstein hated chess, so I assume he wouldn't like SC2 either.

My money's on Newton. When the apple hit him on the head he'd discover the uses of Graviton Beam and revolutionise Protoss play.

Sergey Vasil'evich Rakhmaninov

Giant hands, master pianist, genius composer. Something tells me he would be amazing at Brood War, as well as Starcraft 2.

Rachmaninoff has BIG hands. As a result, he should be able to reach the most awkward of hotkeys with ease and thus may have some nice EAPM.

Lizst probably will have some (Z)hero-esque APM spam. His keyboards may not last long.

Chopin probably doesn't want to break his nails or strain his pretty fingers, so he'll have some Sjow APM.

Paganini also probably can beast it up in SC2 with some extremely fast play.

In fact, I think most historical woodwind, piano, and string players would be awesome at SC2. Brass and percussion players would be better off playing console games, however.

To be serious, though, one would have to be not only quick APM-wise, but would also have to have really good reflexes, game sense, very high pragmatic intelligence, and amazing improvisational skills.

Bruce Lee. That guy had crazy fast-twitch muscles.

The only Man on Earth who could beat the Automaton2000 when it comes to raw APM speed.

Nero on the other side would probably be laughed at for his nonstop cheesy "build firebats, 1a" all-in builds

Abraham Lincoln. He'd play Terran, call his opponents racist, and attack them from the north with Marauders.

Sun Tzu obviously. Tactile genius and wrote the art of war which is even used today so he would be the best
