  As a StarCraft 2 amateur, it is my opinion that it has a lot more to do with being able to manage a lot of actions at the same time -- production, defense, expansion, scouting and attacking your opponent. SC2 is definitely not only about war. The pro players are periodically uploading videos explaining SC2 economy and the huge importance of proper timing and type of production in order to achieve maximum growth -- and consequently, aggression towards the opponent. Don't get me wrong; I'd prefer DeepMind's efforts be focused on a huge and realistic economics simulator but there are simply no such games (not ones that are good and/or realistic anyway). IMO StarCraft 2 is the best economy and war simulator these days so that's why DeepMind chose it.
