Also would be too strong to say 'proven', nothing is ever proven (besides mathematics).

Just to both of you guys, I cant remember where I read the thread, however I believe it was on TeamLiquid during the earlier months of 2011. Of course I could be entirely wrong.

Also, personally I noticed that from playing Starcraft 2 since its release (I was in year 11), my grades improved from high C's and low B's to High B's and Low A's consistently throughout all 7 of my subjects. This led me to get a good final result and allowed me to get accepted into a dual Bachelor of Laws/Bachelor of Arts (Psychology). It must be noted that no extra effort was put in, in fact less effort was put in to my Year 12 assignments, and my marks were higher. I did nothing in class except browse teamliquid and sc2sea (no forum blocks at school, WOOP!) and play tetris or minecraft all day. Again, I did not study at all because I was too busy playing StarCraft when I was at home. However when it came to writing assignments and sitting tests, I thought about all the processes far more in depth than I did before I started playing StarCraft. You guys could say that it is all coincidental, however I think that this game helped to 'train' my brain into a certain form of logical thinking.
