I'm not selling MC short, I said he has solid micro but lets face it P micro is a lot less demanding than T bio macro is and how am I basing it off of one series? all MC ever does is timing attacks.


So are you talking about micro or macro..? MC has to be considered one of the best micro in SC2 right now man - if you watch his PvP's, then you'll know its not just 'solid' but spectacular.


Micro, "bio macro" was a typo - i meant bio micro.

As I said P micro is a bit of a joke, I think people have accepted a really low standard when looking at it, for example MC was microing a single stalker against some marines and Artosis was impressed ..sigh.


Nope, if MC didn't have godly micro he wouldn't come out ahead in every single PvP 4gate battle even when there are exactly the same units out there on the battlefield.

Besides, be fair, its not like bio micro is that much harder to control.. its just mainly scoot and shoot with the occasional target fire to snipe off a sentry/stalker.

Both MKP and MC have amazing micro.. don't know why people just have to discredit one and not give the deserving props to both players.. *shrugs*


I don't know how you can try and say bio micro takes any more skill than gateway micro. Gateway micro involves kiting, unit positioning, and forcefields. Bio micro involves the first two. It's really apples and oranges considering how different the units actually are.

Not to mention you actually have to be looking at pylon you are warping to in these battles while Terran just hit 4 or whatever they have barracks on, dddddd, and auto rallies to your 1 group. Takes about 1/4 time.

Interesting. I thought people whined about Korean interviews being "robotic" when the player was too polite and showed no personality. MC gives cocky interviews and shows tons of personality, and still gets called "robotic" by you.

It's understandable that people dislike MC for acting cocky, but it merely comes down to a person's specific criteria by which he/she judges someone else: do we judge by the person's surface actions, or judge by the person's deeper motivations and reasons behind those actions? Seems like you're simply the former.



The only thing revealing about his personality in his interviews is the one where he says that confidence/overconfidence are his strengths/weaknesses.
That's it. The rest is simple-syntaxed, one-dimensional self-praise (i do exaggerate, though).

It IS robotic, as you can not see any personality in his interviews. And no, i don't care if other korean progamers do it also. That's why i don't read most korean interviews.

As long as he's not able to overcome his nerve issues without being annoyingly arrogant, i will always root for his opponents. And anyway, it's not like his cockiness is entertaining or interesting to read, no, it's always the same stuff, such as "I am best protoss", etc.


Something tells me you've only read his TSL interview or something. I remember one interview where he basically called out Protoss players for whining too much about their units being too weak, and that he'd show them that Protoss units are great, which was pretty baller. I also don't know what you mean by "showing personality". Too polite and passive, and it's showing no personality. Being cocky and trash talking, and it's showing no personality. You don't need to write an essay in interviews like MorroW or QXC to show personality...

Anyway, like I said earlier you seem like the type of person who just judges someone based off their surface persona rather than how they actually are. But since you likely began with a bad impression of MC in the first place by just seeing him act cocky with interviews, it's understandable that you'd be very predisposed to disliking him.

Stutter step micro requires a lot more APM to get the most out of it because the attack frequency of stimmed marines >> stalkers. Also, stalkers are a lot beefier and so mistakes are a lot more forgiving. C/f letting your marines take a few slashes from zealots.

Macro wise, both T and P have it the same. I would even argue P has it easier because there's actually a cooldown timer to tell you when warpgates are done training. You can't just spam dddd because early pushes with Qed units make them a lot less effective.

I don't see the difficulty of microing bio units. It's stim, run in, run out a bit when zealots are near, repeat until the protoss army evaporates or watch your own army evaporate when there is a decent number of colossi and HT and you failed with an appropriate viking or ghost counter.


Whats the attack speed of stim'd marine and whats the attack speed on stalker? think about it.


Whats the move speed of a stim'd marine and whats the move speed of a zealot? think about it.

What's the protoss gotta do with a zealot anyway? Just Amove it into the MM ball when they wanna engage. There's little micro to be done. The onus of micro's always in the hands of the player with the more mobile more fragile unit!

Also, until medivacs, every stim hurts so much and maximum APM needs to be used to make that stim worth it. Once the stim runs out, micro-ing is that much harder.

Can we please stop pretending to know the "true personality" of pro-gamers? This would make it a lot easier. So you really think that you know MC on another level than...someone who also reads his interviews or watches GSL games? Who are you anyway to define the "surface persona" of a pro-gamer unless you (you, not other guys whose interviews you read) have RL-contact with him?

And yes, i judge them on how they treat / communicate with other people.

You don't have to use warpgates, you know? For those who have trouble with warping Blizzard kept the fall-back and it's called gateways. There, now you have the same production method as T's. Likey?

I saw this quote before you edited btw and neither make any sense

Move speed is irrelevant its the attack speed that matters and lower attack speed means more APM.

What I'm saying is that your previous post on the attack speed doesn't mean much considering your marines would always be attacking the slowed down concuss'd zealots and the requirement to stutter step kite is not necessary. It's like saying protoss have to manually charge into surround followed by a timed h key to succeed.

When was the last time you seen pure zealots against marine/marauder? the stalkers/colossus in the back is the reason you have to stutter step as fast as attack speed will allow.

Seriously this is bronze level stuff, why are you even trying to discuss it when you have no idea what you are talking about.

Well terrans do have right about less micro needed for protoss, afterall, do you even try to micro a unit which just got hit by a cshell?
