Hello -

I thought I would share a map with you guys that I made to help me practice my roach burrow micro. It basically pits your 20 roaches in a choke against a giant wave of enemy roaches, you try to get as many kills as you can using burrow micro before your roaches die. It counts your kills for you. If they kill your bunker it's over.

I hope you guys find it useful!

was hoping for a map like this, thanks dude appreciate it. testing now ^^

edit: i tested both and i love the ling/bling one, the roach one i think shud have burrow move?? im not to sure but since ur normally burrowing ur 1st line of roaches, that pretty much means the enemy is getting closer, so when ur 1st line of roaches to end up unborrowing later on in the game that means instead of like 4/5 hitting them there getting around 10+ roaches hitting them, its just my idea tho...maybe it could be an option or something? ^_^ ty for maps!

I just made another one, this one for ling baneling micro. You're trying to defend the bunker, there are 6 blings who are attacking the bunker, you have 20 lings and you have to try to kill them before they hit the bunker. The best I've gotten is defending it with 4 lings remaining. It's pretty fun actually.

Could be a good idea to put this kind of maps in a singel one and let the players choose from the start; like a unit Tester Map; so with variable amounts of units and attacking stuff.


If this can be done for races and units it should be a really big boon for the training for lower levels.

Using any unit tester can practice blink micro pretty well. I've found that for example with 12 stalkers against 20 roaches (1500/600 vs 1500/500) attack move will have around 7-8 roaches left in a medium choke, but with micro I've managed to have 11 stalkers left. Just adding 4 roaches made it impossible for me to win against it.

Agreed. Roach burrow seems extremely fast.

awesome man! Could you publish these? practicing burrow micro doesnt make much sense if you don't train with the bnet delay. Or is it possible to practice it with delay using your map?

I thought about this. If you guys like these maps, I'd be happy to consolidate them and add some features! I'll publish it too so it can be played on BNet with the delay.

Yeah, we do!
I'm not sure if I improved with this custom game, but to be honest...

It's hella fun lololol

Maybe add one with Marines and you have to micro your banelings properly to hit them and they scurry and separate and stim, I dunno.

My Roaches like it in the face!

I'm just really bad with micro. My macro is poor as well...

Why do I play, I don't know.
