I really don't want to start an MBS debate here, but what Blizzard wants to do is have an even balance between the micro and macro so that either play style can be effective. they don't want a game that can be dominated by just Micro or Macro but one where both have their places to shine.

I think macro is more about, when/where to expand, what units to produce from how many factories and eventually where else to spend the money. The MBS is less related to macro IMHO. The MBS would just help to redirect the APM to other places, and I think it would be good. It's like having ctrl+1, 2..9 for units. Without controls, the player would just need much more APM to do the same things.

Now, making easier for player to deliver its decisions to the computer is a good thing, because it increases the entertainment. Also it helps discover the imba places in the game much faster.

Technically yes, macro is not just the mechanic part; however handspeed should still have to be insufficient to do both macro and micro except at the highest levels.

David Kim replaced Pillars. He's Korean. I posted his real (korean) name here once and an article he wrote about balancing and the role of top players in this.

I think he was an amateur in a clan with a few people who later became progamers.
