Not at all? Except for some better understanding in strategical questions. (In all kind of games.) VIEW on life is ridiculous. Oo | ||

I recently got back into Brood War in the last year or two. It was my first exposure to serious StarCraft, so I decided to give competitive SC a try via ICCUP. As my macro and micro improved, I also saw a connection to everything outside of game. My multitasking in general improved dramatically. I'm a manager in real life so on the work floor is where I noticed the biggest difference. Needless to say, those who work under me hate it but at least now they earn their pay in its entirety. Edit: I don't know if I would consider this a change in 'view' on life though. I don't really know what view on life StarCraft would change. lol | ||

So many people who have never played competitive video games think they are awesome at so many things, whether its a particular video game, chess, poker, etc. But they are often simply average and haven't realized this. Watching pros play and be so good at something that "seems" easy (a computer game) has completely changed the way I see skill and ability. I no longer automatically assume I'm good at something, or over-project my skills, because whatever I am talking about may have a similar skill depth as SC and a community like TL. Same when i played WC3 :D I also felt incredibly humbled after watching pro Guilty Gear for my first time. But after i moved to SC, i known that all other games are significantly inferior to SC, esp WoW. The only problem is that too few people (around me at least) are aware of it  Most importantly, it saved me from the depths of DotA (the worst part is where the game ethics is quite the opposite of SC, where finishing and the game is preferred. I feel like quitting even if i'm winning sometimes) and comparitively boring WC3. All of which is possible thanks to TL! Oh ya, and i've just started to read Sunzi's Art Of War, It's amazing how similar it is to SC, where applicable. And i've became a little inclined towards Korea ~ just like some korean drama fanatics ~ | ||

I definitely agree with this as well. I think this is also something you can't really explain to someone (Or at least, I've never succeeded in doing so). They must experience it to truly appreciate the phenomenon. Either through SC or something with a similar situation. | ||
