I'm not a Starcraft 2 player or even an original Starcraft player for that matter, but I found this incredibly fascinating:

Using genetic algorithms to find Starcraft 2 build orders
I’ve been on a bit of starcraft kick recently (see my replay aggregator: replayspider). I also work in computer vision, and general AI has always been an interest (see this post on “evolving” faces). Sometimes strange interests collide. Over on a forum called teamliquid, a user by the name of Lomilar posted a fairly long thread about a program he had written that optimized build orders for the zerg race in starcraft. He eventually cleaned up his code and posted the code to googlecode. The program is called EvolutionChamber (a clever name, as it’s the name of one of the buildings in the game), and it uses genetic algorithms to find build orders. This I had to see. --Louis Brandy
