The people who excel at Starcraft don't do it because they follow explicit systems. They do it mostly by practice (duh) and by listening to the advice of people like Day[9].
Day9 is the best-known Starcraft II commenter, with many YouTube videos (here's a random example) and many millions of views. He occasionally does explain systems (or subsystems really) for playing, but what I think he mostly does right is that
I may be missing something, but I think this is most of what he does so right about teaching what he teaches. Anyway, my point is clear: We don't need systems, we need a Day[9] of rationality.
AIs may need systems. We aren't AIs.
Day9/Sean Plott quite frequently tries to teach systems. When he goes over the new nifty build of Master XY, he`ll explicitly us "if then" constructions. "If you see gas, push at XX:XX, if not, expand". While I agree about the usefullness of a charismatic leader, I disagree about not needing systems.
To say "We don't need systems" was hyperbolic and wrong. Thanks for the correction. Otherwise, we agree.
