I have Starcraft on my resumé. If I were a master in chess, I would list that, too.

I spend my free time voluntarily putting myself in fast-paced, high-stress situations where I am forced to make critical strategic decisions as quickly as possible in order to succeed.

If that's what I do for fun, imagine what I accomplish when I'm working.

I'm a gamer. I genuinely believe that there's a lot to be learned from games via playing, studying, or building them. I know what it's like to have non-gamers look down at your time gaming and view it as worse than unproductive. However, even when I worked in the game industry, if you tried to tell me that Starcraft mastery adequately demonstrates your performance under pressure in a professional context, I'd laugh in your face.
