I suck at both micro and macro, but I guess I am more reliant on my macro to try to beat the other guy.

Micro early games. Macro late games.

my micro isnt that good. but my macro is pretty good. only real good micro i can do is mutalisk and dragoons.but the weird thing is my main race is T. my apm is around 180 TvP 250 TvZ 140TvT.I love macro in PvT. i go 14nexus in like 70% of the game against T(even though you are screwed if T's build is not a cheesy build). But, I haven't played in like more than 3 months now.

Simple micro:
Like dropping 4 DTs into an undefended mineral line and let them do the work. Or atk move my goon army while managing my 2 shuttles for zlot bomb.
Pulling units back abit before storm in PvZ helps, storms on the further back hydra while flanking with zealots helps, drops in route of peon escape route w/ reaver helps.

I don't pull super apm micro, I rather take my take to set up the attack properly, and that leaves me with more time to tend to my horrible micro and maybe some other harasses.
Life is run, it is dance, it is fast, passionate and BAM!, you dance and sing and booze while you can for now is the time and time is mine. Smile and laugh when still can for now is the time and soon you die!

Well i suck badly at Starcraft. But i think if i am anything i am macro, since i often just wait for my opponent to attack me, and then i if i defend then i will slowly attack since my control is quite bad.

Economy really isn't my thing. I'm more into dedicating all my effort into directly killing, obstructing and harrassing my opponent until he simply leaves in disgust. That makes me a micro player, right?
