It was awesome.

I've been playing BW for quite a while now and while I wasn't winless, all of my victories were either ling all-ins, lurker busts, ZvZs or my opponent just falling apart before my hive even finished.
I had especially tons of trouble vs toss. My timings were never crisp enough and I usually would be underdroned going into the midgame, with P players just amoving handful of zealot and storming whatever lurkers and lings I had morphing.

HOWEVER, TODAY
for the first time ever I got my scourge in time to chase away first sair before it even got close to an OL. I saw my opponent go sair/reaver so I decided to make 3 or 4 mutas with scourge and delay the hydra switch to stop him from ever getting the shuttle close to my base (it worked too!). When enemy kept massing sairs, I switched to hydras, took a 4th base and busted his building 3rd and then this natural. Felt pretty good.

Then for the next 15 minutes I kept killing myself on reaver/goon/HT like a cretin.
Anyway this isn't a tl;dr of 150apm adventures, long story short I spammed ultra/crackling and even casted a swarm once when he attacked my natural with goons and spellcasters.

I just wanted to say that it's super ecstatic to finally see yourself improve just a bit, have better army control, crisper BO, a bit better macro. Much more cool. And see the results.
It's fucking amazing. No other feeling can match winning a hard-fought BW gmaes.
Dope as hell.

Hope you all have good time, play some BW and then SCR, folks.

next time make 5 mutas is the optimal number to kill 1 probe from one shot,i dont need to commit just kill 2 3 4 probes and back home,if you see corsairs are flying to your base then try to sneak the mutas to snipe extra workers etc,also the 5 mutas give you the option to stop zealots attacks,u will force him to comeback unless he wants to suicide the zealots :D HFHF

Yeah, there's no feeling like it. Winning a macro game.

However, I feel this part is one of the most understated best feel-good parts of the game:
I saw my opponent go sair/reaver so I decided to make 3 or 4 mutas with scourge and delay the hydra switch to stop him from ever getting the shuttle close to my base (it worked too!).


also yes, BW blog? 5/5

Congrats on finally winning your first macro game. Always feels really great when it happens. Even in cases where you don't win, so long as you are putting up a fight and making it rough for your opponent to win, it still feels great! 5/5

Hope to see some battle reports in the near future! ^^
