You don't think like that when you play zerg.

thx for the wisdom keemosabi..

But it's true. You don't go out thinking "okay, I'm going to make this many drones for each expansion".

I'd love to see when a zerg progamer has obviously lost the game just make a round of drones and attack with a drone hanbang.
And set up hatcheries, everywhere.

Jaedong has better macro than Savior in standard late game play.


In my openion, Savior in prime could keep his min count down(when he needed too), and unit production up better than Jaedong.

This is as dumb as saying that iloveoov had better macro than Flash.


Wow, never realized how "slow" his apm was untill now. Guess I was always just too captivated by his massing to run it through an apm scanner, slower than Storks, crazy.

Hmm well honestly I think it's both great micro and macro. Yeah that's a lame answer, but spending your minerals efficently is not gonna make you a great zerg.. microing defilers and mutalisks like jaedong probably will however.

A lot of them do yes, after awhile you can support that easy because your hand is so quick.

I can do it with one hand but it's crazy uncomfortable, so much so that'll i'll risk taking my hand off the mouse for a second to hit 8-0

The way I see it Zerg macro is not only keeping the money low but making the right units at the proper timing in the right amount. So I think it's very very hard to do it right. Much harder than protoss and terran who make workers out of one building and units out of two buildings and pretty much just know to cycle through the buildings and press S, M, C, F, V or T for terran and P, Z, D, T, K, O for toss.

If macro was as simple as that.....

Macro isnt just keeping your min count down and unit production;;
Zerg is abit different compared to other toss/terran but macro is mostly timing. When to stop making scv, when to add buildings, knowing the optimal number of facts/rax, expo timing, amount of scv to maynard, etc.

Making depots at the right time, going back to your rax/facts, adding facts/rax when you have surplus, keeping your money down are just parts of macro.

Look at Iloveoov vs Foru fpvod. He gets stuck on supply so much yet he just overwhelms Foru because of his expo timing and the timing that he adds his facts are right on.

You need perfect or close-to macro as a S-Class Zerg.
