If you read this forum from the beggining youll see the best micro award must go to July, just because before him ppl believed that zerg micro was to move zerglings and burrow lurkers. And i was one of those back in the old school times. But when i firts saw that sick mutalisk beating the shit out of marines i was like WTF!?!?!?!?
For macro i stay with iloveoov and maybe jaedong (remember the game with bisu at blue storm, dont tell me that being able to produce that amount of units after all the harrass bisu did is not a perfect macro display)

Hardest Micro - Terran Bionic micro, I really have a hard time microing marines and all, but mecha micro is ok.
Easiest Micro - Zerg, attack lings while burrowing lurkers, defiler is another issue.

Hardest Macro - none..
Easiest Macro - Terran...low cost buildings compared to Toss (Toss have high gas cost which irritates me)


Best Micro - Boxer, we can make a movie about his immortal marines.
Best Macro - Oov, the Monster Terran.

Low cost buildings. Are you kidding me?

Is the Terran cheap isn`t it?

Protoss doesn`t need much gas as Terran, this isn`t true. Terran need the most gas after Zerg.

i don't know why people say terran has hardest micro but i think zerg has the hardest micro from the many games i've played as zerg. terran units are so straight forward to micro they don't require much intricacy compared to zerg units like mutas or lurkers for example.

I agree with this post.

Honestly, with fast hands, Marine + Medic is very easy to handle. Zerg on the other hand you gotta flank and burrow perfectly and that shit is hard D:

It's probably harder for people in general to micro terran units due to their different commands (siege, place mine, stim). It's probably easier to micro small groups of terran units than zerg but when it comes to larger groups, i often make the mistake of double stim Zerg large armies are easier for me to micro due to the simple 1a2a3a4a (defiler is different; lurkers are grouped on their own so i can burrow asap )
I'm not so good, and my main race is P so what do i know?

BTW, if Terran is so easy to micro/macro, why are there so few top foreign terrans?

The fact that you didn't put iloveoov as macro disturbs me, even though he's retired :p
