Students at the University of California Berkeley campus will be able to take a course in competitive StarCraft playing this year, thanks to the University’s “DeCal” program.

StarCraft is the legendarily popular real-time strategy game from Blizzard Entertainment, playable on the Mac and Windows PC. The game pits humans and two other alien races — the biomechanical Zerg and highly-evolved Protoss — in a battle for dominance on the surface of alien worlds.

seeing as how hammer is a level creation tool and not a programming IDE, I don't see how it would help at all :)
