<div class="IPBDescription">games taken seriously at college level</div>This is in fact not bull###### as far as we can tell.

There is a class on StarCraft design and gameplay, using pro games from Koreans to illustrate high level strategy, being taught at the UC Berkeley (one of those nerdy-ish schools here in California of USA).

Major points include looking at design, balance, and complex game theory in the framework of StarCraft play. It is geared as an application of theoretical game theory on a practical (and well executed) game.

Well, I mean Starcraft has proved to be a well designed game and has thus survived for so long (or maybe it was just luck...) so it's no wonder that learning exactly why it is so successful could be considered advantageous to game designers.
Also, no surprise that UC berkeley would be the one to do it.
