macro-oriented players focus more on expansion timing and solidity, relying on their macro being stronger than their opponent and their harassment defense being good enough to reach critical mass before their opponent can deal with it that's a really simplistic explanation because starcraft has much more depth to it, but that's the easiest way to explain it | ||

Boxer is almost purely micro-oriented. He wins games by controlling his units really really well, he can do amazing things that other players, even progamers, can't do, and he can win games with his unit control. Oov is almost purely macro-oriented. His main way of winning games is producing more units than his opponents, and his way of doing this is taking more expansions, defending better and when the time is right move out with a large army to defeat his opponent. In-game example: Boxer will face a zerg with 12 marines and a few medics and control them insanely well to kill many many zerg units. Oov is the same sitation is likely to use 36 marines with medics and overpower the zerg head on. | ||

And unless I do so, I have no peace in my mind. So a good article like this one and its comments can take me a night, let me tell you.st.Eagle was once said to be the best terran in the world, much based on his great metal usage, but calling him the inventor would be hard to defend. Nowadays he is probably most famous for that fantastic game vs Garimto on silentvortex during sky 2002. Anyway, are you sure it was Sky 2002? I can't find the game. EDIT: I found it here. | ||

Just a comment on the Oov vs. Reach game, I thought the only reason why Oov lost his macro war was because a few of his 10 factories did not produce because they were so tightly packed. He got the unit exit blocked error instead of receiving units. | ||

Now I've never heard of that, care to explain? Also, I'm pretty sure metal usage was invented pre1.08. I remember watching replays when 1.08 came out, and wondering what could protoss do against that  I also remember reading a tvp guide pre1.08 written by a (german?) player called Thor, who was considered among the best back then iirc, which described metal usage. | ||
