Question is: If Serral beats Magnus in SC2 and Magnus beats him in Chess, what would be the decider game? Basketball?
On a different note: While it has basically zero remifications in the greater schemes of things, there is an RTS player who won "something" in chess. TheViper (AoE 2 GOAT) played in a german amateur tournament with a bunch of influencers etc. and won it, even though he didn't play much chess before. And some of them even got coaching before the tournament.
As I said, not saying much. But there definetly is some sort of transferable skill from RTS to Chess and I would assume it works the other way around aswell. Though I guess that wouldn't work for all types of players. Especially the Terrans, who really more on beating their opponents into submission with raw APM and Micro would have a hard time in Chess I assume
