As a good analogy consider Guitar Hero, which requires equal (if not more) finger and wrist motion as Starcraft.

When you first play a really hard song, you frantically strum to hit many notes and your fingers are flailing wildly on the buttons because it is too fast for you to read, process, and execute. This type of hand motion REALLY hurts after a 5 minute song. The same song played by a skilled GH player though doesn't hurt, because the player knows exactly how he wants to move his hands seconds in advance.

The challenged player is trying to play catchup and has very little time to interpret new notes, while an experienced player has his hands ready and anticipating the next notes, giving more time to rest and plan out future actions.



LOL comparing guitarhero to starcraft. how foolish.

Does anyone else just get really tired when playing. Like il be doing fine but mid-late game ill just get tired from the macroing and i won't be able to keep up and miss like a lot of things. Is this normal and will my macro improve with mre games?


I hate to be the one to say this, but if you're getting tired from macroing (which is just pressing keys on the keyboard) then you probably need to get up. If you're getting tired from pressing keys on the keyboard, you need to begin moving your body.


Uh, no, that's BS. You can easily get tired from playing Starcraft - not only because you most your hands extremely fast, but because the amount of focus it takes is mentally draining. The same applies to doing ANYTHING mentally intensive. It doesn't take just necessarily exercise to make someone tired.

If the game is boring, sure, but if I'm actually interested in what's happening I don't slow down at all. Basically it's all about motivation.

As for cold hands, I usually get it during the night or winter anytime. However, I get tired after playing a very long, drawn out game. Mostly with Terrans who turtle the entire game.

Give me a break. He is comparing mechanics and muscle memory not the core gameplay. I think its a decent analogy and certainly not an affront to your most cherished game.

It is because you probably are still new enough to the game, so that you have to really "think" about every move you make once you get past early game.

So the answer is yes, this will probably stop after mass gaming (with focus of course).
Because then you will know beforehand and without "thinking" how to react to various situations and macro will be more natural for you.

My hands start to get numb after a long game with intense macro. Maybe I'm starting to get carpel tunnel. I don't even play much SC...

To me it all comes down to mental stamina: playing long games versus people my level is really mind blowing to me sometimes when I reflect on what happened. Not only am I tired mentally, but I start to think, "if I made 1 decision differently than I did, I would have lost." It drains me to play it and to reflect on it.
