So today I got some UMS maps for BW for training micro & macro, worker split and vultures mines (some others as well but haven't used those yet)

My worker split is 0-19% efficient -> it told me to go play warcraft
Scored no points with my vulture mines
And the micro macro challenge lasts 11 minutes I died before the count down had passed 9!!! I was exhausted. the general idea is keep you scv alive from the zealot and build a force to kill the zerg base. It's exhausting. This game is hard and I now I have even more respect for the people who are really good at it...imma sleep now

Oh jeez those are the worst. It requires so much concentration... I guess the game should too if you're playing at a high level, but it's more stressful this way.

The map he's talking about where you keep a scv alive while attacking the zerg is really a good map imo.

I play some games and when I'm bored (or when I don't have much time for a regular game) I go play this map just to warmup, practice multitasking, keep in touch with the game, etc. Now I can beat it regularly but when I did for the first time I was so happy and I was the immediate effect on my play. For sure it won't make you better strategy or decision making wise but this helps these specific parts where you move way faster and you keep being alerted on everything on the map by constantly switching viewpoint.

When I was able to beat that map, I was able to play with a constant 200-250 apm through my games. And it wasn't useless apm.

It's a nice feeling to know that you are able to perform in BW mechanics wise, trust me .

I'm glad it's not just me who find it challenging :D I really need to find VODs or a guide on vulture spider mines cause i wasn't "scoring" any points so there must have been a more optimal way to kill the dragoons
