TheStaircase Step #2 introduces Micro into your gameplay. The video (below) shows many scenarios where you can use Micro and Multitasking. One of the most simple examples is Cannon-Rush in in a Ladder-Game. Playing this strat will improve your Micro a great deal.

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Micro

The next important part is "Play agressive!"

TheStaircase Guide

Quote: "Play aggressively; avoid static defenses. [NeoBlade: 1-2 Cannons is ok, if you have to defend Drop-Play, DTs and so on]"

When you play aggressive your Multitasking will improve and you will be able to scout the front more often.

You don't get tired of promoting this thing even though it's not your idea, do you? Also, does this even help players anymore? I feel this doesn't really teach you anything besides the very basics, no offense.

You are right. It teaches the basics.

A Dia2-Zerg showed me a Replay yesterday. "I don't know why I lost", was her statement.

3K Overmins and TSC 2:12. Her SQ 57 the Protoss had 93.

http://wiki.teamliquid.net/starcraft2/Spending_quotient

I will promote TheStaircase as long as it takes, that ppl understand how important Macro & Mechanics are in this game. When I see all Dia3 (Dia2) players without Overmins and without heavy Supplyblocks, I will stop promoting TheStaircase, which prolly means: Never. :D
