Live2Win United States6473 Posts June 14 2007 12:35 GMT #2 I use to be pretty heavily micro oriented. I've worked on balancing it out... but I'd say I'm still slightly more micro based. Although I think it's really bad right now. Oh except on ZvP... depending the style I'm playing. When I'm playing macro style with hydra/ling/lurk only then I'm usually pumping from about 10 hatches so there's almost no micro going on :p

QuietIdiot 7004 Posts June 14 2007 12:43 GMT #10 Micro I like to use storm/reaver in all my mu's, sometimes even skip getting early robo in PvT to do a little dragoon dancing against mines. I pretty much depend on my harass ability and timing attacks. Macro's not too bad though, finally learned to max out at the 11:50 mark in PvT and about 13:20 in PvZ. But thats not always the best option, as I painfully learned. I'm very random with what I do, throw in a shuttle, load an archon + 2 temps, scourge trailing me, drop archon, kill them, reload, storm nearby hydras. Or as retarded as sending +2 zeals over mine fields and trying to kill them without losing a single one. I'm an aggressive player too, so I try to get the game done mid-game, I'm not very good managing crisis late game periods but I've become gradually better at it. (Ex: fucking deflier/crack drops, 3/3 200/200 terran ball, 200/200 PvP stalemates.<--gay)

Zoan United States53 Posts June 14 2007 12:44 GMT #11 I don't know why but I always seem to have awesome micro. In those "1v1 RoV play/obs LOL!!!" games, whenever I play everyone seems to go of ac and type stuff like "wow amazing micro lawl!" It's probably not true and they're probably just idiot newbs but I check BwChart and my micro is always above 100, sometimes almost near the 200 mark!! Yet, my macro totally fails. I can destroy tank pushes with superior micro yet I'll end up losing because I don't have enough units. .__.'''

Seraphim United States4463 Posts June 14 2007 12:55 GMT #13 Used to be macro...leaning to micro now DT AND REAVER DROP FTW (in PvT that is) Bisu style for PvZ

Jonoman92 United States8651 Posts June 14 2007 12:59 GMT #15 Ehhh hard to say. A lot of maps these days it seems like it turns into a macro game whether you like it or not. I guess i'd say i'm a macro player. MY micro doesn't suck or anything but my big army control needs a lot of improvement, PvT especially.

Person514cs 1004 Posts June 14 2007 13:10 GMT #16 Timing is more important. Because you need to know when to micro or macro. Whoring workers all game or not making enough workers is all relative to your opponent.

CowGoMoo United States428 Posts June 14 2007 13:15 GMT #17 Depends on how I feel like playing, sometimes all micro, sometimes all macro. The hard part is trying to do both at once o.o my preference is micro but it usually loses me all my PvT games on most maps vs decent opponents :/

ArC_man United States2367 Posts June 14 2007 13:17 GMT #18 I've always been more of a timing person with balanced micro/macro.

Newbistic China2911 Posts June 14 2007 13:32 GMT #20 Macro ftw! Well actually, mid to late game mostly i sit in my base clicking at unit producing structures and clicking at the minimap -_-' 60 APM doesn't really allow you to spread the actino around.
