Comment on Cal to offer course in Advanced Starcraft Theory

Comments

I looked at the syllabus - I couldn't find the section where they teach you how to hurl abuse at other gamers while lanning.

This is a course about the theory of the game -- very analytical. Lots of math, apparently. What you're describing is much more art than science.

So if you wanted to get better at it, you'd take a studio type class where you and other enthusiasts would practice together, show off your technique, and "critique" one another.

What you're describing is much more art than science.

Which is funny, since this following phrase comes direct from the course syllabus.

  The primary goal is for students to learn, enjoy the art of competitive StarCraft, and have fun.
Seems like psychological warfare (when circumstances permit) would be a valid tactic given the above course objective.

I could quote Sun Tzu about robbing a whole army of their spirit, but at best I'd be paraphrasing... poorly.
