Much more Micro than Macro, as a Zerg. That's why I'll never be a gosu, but I don't want to. Playing pure macro just seems stupid and boring to me. I want to utilize my units to the fullest, and control them in each battle. Even in late game. My style is a lot like July's or Yell0w's traditional style: low economy, micro intensive, aggressive. It doesn't work as good anymore as it did a few years back, but I don't care. I don't play often anyway, but when I do it's fun to win playing like that.

actually only zvz is micro oriented even zvt can be played heavily on macro.


I can see your point but I see where he is coming from too. I used to be a Z player but I switched to protoss because ZvT I got raped so horribly hard by a decent T player that can micro vs lurkers (my lurk/ling micro was awful). And late game microing with swarm constantly casting? Thats heavy on the micro for sure.

micro

2on2. My P ally more or less suicides all his lots at the enemy protoss ramp to let me sneak 8 speedlings up his ramp, and the game will more or less be decided by how much damage I manage to do with them. Ahhh, the thrill!

I have pretty good micro, but my macro really sucks I have a tendency to forget to build units and supply depots. Usually if I don't win the game in the first 15 minutes I probably won't win it at all.

Macro if I'm teaching/learning
Micro if I'm trying to win
Macro if I'm trying to FE
Micro if an ob is present

And I love how Rek has a different perspective on everything. "Attack Move" haha nice.

Ditto, good to know I'm not the only one . It bothers me how when I overly focus on micro, I let my mineral/gas count get too high. Lots of work to do.
