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.
That doesn't mean that they aren't following implicit systems which people who don't excel at Starcraft are not necessarily following (even if systems are necessary to excel at Starcraft, people who fail to excel will of course not necessarily do so out of failure to follow the systems.)
