Getting good Engagements is all about the three core steps: Vision, Preparation and Execution, which would be the micro part. However, the two most important things are vision and preparation, NOT execution. If you prepare correctly, you will most likely not even need to Micro.
The core rule in all of these steps, which seems straightforward, but you should still always keep in mind, is: Always maximize your damage output, while minimizing damage taking. This thought will inform all the following ideas, so keep it in mind!
Vision:
Know both where your opponent’s army is, and what it is
Where the opponent’s army is not just important for preparing the fight, but also deciding whether you want to take the fight or not. For example, if you don’t know where the army is, it could be ready to drop you, or you accidentally get into a base race.
Preparation:
make sure all of your units can fight.
Consider your current macro status. If you don’t have to macro for a bit, for example just injected, you can go for more micro intensive fights. Otherwise, take fights where micro is not as required, or dodge them until you have macroed.
Execution:
If you did everything correctly, all you gotta do now is A-Move into your opponent, and then set your abilities out.
The most important aspect of specifically micro is to know what you are mechanically doing. What that actually means is, that you always want to keep in mind what exact inputs you have to make. If you don’t know the exact inputs, the micro will be sloppy. And while macro is a process that comparatively takes longer to execute, in micro every millisecond counts.
