I'm CEO of a medium sized company now. I played semi pro broodwar and masters level SC2. Nothing in this surprises me. More then anything else Starcraft is a game where you learn how to use limited information better than your opponent. Think about it, it's really silly that people treat chess as this game with all these advantages for your brain and games like Starcraft are ignored. When in life do you have perfect information about a situation? Building a company is incredibly similar to a 1:1 in starcraft. You start blank slate, you make lots of decisions based on the information you have. You invest into experiments and reconnaissance and you eventually try to build up a small advantage that you leverage into a win. Early game, mid game, and end game are totally different phases that all map well to the lifecycle of a startup. This kind of training is incredible.
