MnM, one wrong move (Ie. lurker trap/swarm/plague) and you're entire army can get wrecked in a few seconds.

Vessel micro.

When their zerg armie gets large and roaming around the map, good luck irradiating their stuff while dodging scourges and finding the right vessel with enough mana.

QFT again.

MnM micro consists of stim, attack move, try to move one or a few marines around to draw fire. Whoop-de-doo thats hard.


Compared to Muta vs Scourge where you have to group mutas to larva/overlord and watch to make sure the overlord doesnt stray out too far or that the larva hasn't morphed (rehotkey to new larva). Not to mention constantly moving the mutas around to keep them stacked.

That doesn't even cover the muta angles of attack/patrol that is required to fight the fucking scourges.



Remember this video?

Did they ever make such a precision video on how to MnM vs lurker or MnM vs muta or whatever? No, because its not that difficult.

it's a tossup between MnM and scourge-sniping with mutas...however I'm mediocre at the latter, and am still working on the former, so I voted the former.

I'm a zerg player myself, but I can admit that M&M micro is the hardest. Terran are just the hardest to micro in general... although muta and lurker/ling micro is no picnic either. As for toss I would say reaver/shuttle micro is the toughest.. but I don't really know..

Definately MnM

MnM vs lings / lurkers / mutas / ultras / darkswarm / plauge

theres just so much to do in each situation , and each micro is diffrent against each other unit.

96 stupid people....

MnM is SO easy to micro. The problem in TvZ is keeping up with your barracks macro.

Seriously... splitting marines takes almost no concentration... Positioning your medics right isn't that hard either... And every other kind of micro is just stim and run back a little bit... press A again.

Muta vs Scourge... That freakin' Chinese Triangle thing? Now that's god damn impossible.

It's more like 10 wrong moves. And if you lose 8 marines (that's all you lose when you make a mistake, really), it's no big deal anyway. If you lose one muta in ZvZ, you've lost the game unless your opponent makes the same mistake.

Goon vs spider mines isn't hard if you know where they are (and not worth trying if you don't).

Marine Medic. Nobody does it perfectly.

(Rine spread, medic blocks etc. Its harder than muta scourge, which is only one move skill...)

For the purpose of the poll, voted muta vs scourge. Nominating: detonating mines by dropping and picking up units (with the unit taking no damage)

I think in ZvT/TvZ lurkerling is harder than marine medic.

Also, ling vs ling is the type of situation where a lot of the times, you get very good results with very little micro. Basically just make sure they don't clump up and then just let AI attack and the results are comparable. Sometimes, especially with lag, when you try to pull back flanks slightly or focus fire 2 lings to 1 etc, you do worse than if you just A clicked. But at the same time, the ling micro is a case where people can become very very good and it shows because they do all the small things perfectly.
