Depends on the job and company I guess. I work at a trading firm and we have had multiple recent applicants that include gaming on their resume (one of which was a former MYM Dota player). I think at trading firms in general, REAL knowledge and skill of games conveys a competitiveness and adaptability as opposed to slacker

I think it would generally be more favorable to include more "traditional" games like poker, chess, go, just because of the social stigma of being a hardcore gamer.

That said, I have a friend that was at one point #1 on the WAR3 US EAST 1v1 ladder, included it in his resume, and now he's doing really well at Goldman Sachs.

Don't do it. A few people might've gotten lucky with a video game connection, but this will most probably not be you.
