Therefore, I highly doubt such a study actually exists AND is somewhat valid (without even taking into account the sample size) | ||

I searched the web and didnt find the studies (which doesnt mean they dont exist). I found this, which is only loosely related: A new study claims that playing real-time strategy video games can help people become faster thinkers. EDIT: Study: Indicator of Working Memory Capacity Predicts Video Game Proficiency | ||

A fast thinking 18 year old with a IQ of 105 would probably beat a professor with 130+ IQ if they both have played the same amount of SC2. | ||

My guess is that that talent only vaguely correlates to IQ. A fast thinking 18 year old with a IQ of 105 would probably beat a professor with 130+ IQ if they both have played the same amount of SC2. Aye I’d imagine someone very mechanically gifted if you coached them rigidly would be a much better Starcraft player than someone extremely bright but uncoordinated, or who struggles with the drive needed to grind out such a game the requisite amount | ||

Those studies don't exist. This thread shows a shocking lack of internet literacy haha. Would have thought people knew this. Fun related thread from the legal field: https://www.reuters.com/legal/new-york-lawyers-sanctioned-using-fake-chatgpt-cases-legal-brief-2023-06-22/. Lawyer did the same exact thing asking chatgpt for legal research, and proceeded to use the (completely fake) cases chatgpt gave them. Got sanctioned. | ||

_________ In any case I also think that not because you are good at Starcraft 2 you necessarily have a high IQ, but you have other skills that help you. Sc2 more than a strategy game is a mechanical game, and so is BW. That being said, sOs Is probably one of the smartest players to ever grace this game. The things he did....yeah you need to be playing 4d chess, even if eventually his mechanics let him down in the switch from HotS to LotV. | ||
