When you hit a wall do you blame it on external factors (imbalance) Or do you take it upon yourself and try to mend internal factors to manage it in the future | ||

The only way your WPM increases is you haven't touched a computer before SC2 and then you get faster at typing for obvious reasons. Like someone mentioned earlier, bad habits grow on you like typing with 3 fingers... Actually some people even type with 2 fingers. I personally do believe that SC2, most of it is understanding what beats what, and the most of it is reflexes taking it away, that's why generally speaking, the first time you see a build, you'll lose to it. Then however you have the reflex to knowing how to respond and you'll say how easy it's to deal with. Actually the other thing that SC2 really improved for me, is my mouse accuracy, I can browse the web so quickly now, which is just great. | ||

In StarCraft, this can mean something like getting map control with a mobile army then using that to expand safely, which gets you an economic advantage, which then lets you get a huge doom army which will let you win the game. In life, this might mean something like being born into a famous Hollywood family which makes it easy for you to become an actor which makes it possible for you to star in a bunch of movies which let you get a starring role in TV show like Two and a Half Men which leads to #winning. He's never getting that job, and I've been a huge starcraft fan since 1998. | ||

Identifying pros and cons of a scenario and quickly making the best decision even though neither choice is ideal. And also, oddly, playing starcraft seriously has made me a much better chess player. | ||

Thats exactly my cases  It is not helping with wpm but you learn the mechanics of learning new skills with practice, witch will lead to a bigger wpm score in the future, The quick brown fox jumps over the dog anyone? | ||

Well, considering how incredibly successful he's been in creating facebook and now cofounding Quora, I'd say that's a pretty terrible decision. BTW this isn't a job interview, its a post in the starcraft section of a Q&A website | ||
