A lot of it is simply the power of drones and delay. When he pulls all his scvs, he is not really mining at home so he doesn't have time to just sit and delay (besides, more time = more lings + queens and spines for you so he has to act fast). ' | ||

The problem is, however, that while Macro is 99% of getting better, it SUCKS to put in all that effort to learn macro only to be cannon rushed because you didn't know what you should do exactly. I unfortunately can't watch your videos easily right now (dunno why but streaming is reallly slow atm) but I was salivating at some of the titles. Defending roach rushes with filters' macro style? YES PLEASE. Your videos are perfect compliments to his. He talks about the core gameplay and getting better through macro, you talk about defending against all those guys just out to ruin your day even if they can't outplay you. In my experience, being successfully cheesed/all inned by someone who probably couldn't have beaten you in a straight up game is 100X more annoying than losing a long drawn out macro game. You guys should start a partnership. I'm serious. With both these video series side by side, noobs like me have a perfect guide to getting better. PS. DAMN did a lot of people miss the point about 40apm. Bet you're wishing you had never dropped that number, huh?  "Winning with Ease" would have done just fine hehe | ||

I've just gotten back into the game after months (got discouraged since I couldn't figure out how to imrpove) and have been doing much better using Filter's fantastic Bronze to Masters macro guide.

It stinks when you can macro so well but you just constantly die to the cheesy things. Knowing how to defend against those is half the battle so hopefully these can work together  Yeah the 40 apm thing was a bad idea...lots of people missed that point lol... | ||

Constant zergling harass is really tough to deal with, that is a very nice point against mass air | ||

That being said, I'm not sure it would've done enough. Also, while infestors are good to use, they can be tricky for control and you actually can easily win with what I show here of just massing up those yummy corrupters. If he had gone for more voids though I would've added in a few infestors but with the carriers that I saw (and I actually do see more carrier than void in those armies) mass corrupters with upgrades are amazing. | ||
