I don't doubt that playing Starcraft will build mental abilities. But if someone is playing Starcraft to become smarter, then they should probably think about other activities that will give you the same benefits in a faster and more domain relevant way.
It's a great game. I love watching it. And I support professional players because they provide a source of entertainment. But it's not anything more than that.
