Man I just looked at my to-do list on my notepad and it said micro hw. I got pretty excited for half a second until i realized it was microeconomics hw, not starcraft micro...maybe too much starcraft lately?

I think it could be the bug Excal mentioned in the ladder guide: Master leaguers get more weekly bonus points than others, and currently there is a visual bug to display bonus as if you were master league. The bug is visual, restart should fix it..Here is the the thread from Excal:

Oh I thought it was a serious game. Then I saw 3:14:18. Then I read the chat log.

I've lost 1000+ units and still won before just torturing an opponent with the power of infinite zerglings. ~~Gj though~~

Your opponent had 52 average apm. I'm pretty sure corpses move faster than that. I turned it off after x8 through the first 49 minutes because I assume it's 2 more hours of that.

I've noticed that in a lot of PvT matches on Xel'Naga Caverns, the terran goes for the 1-1-1 very frequently. Is it safe to just assume from the beginning that a Terran will just go for the 1-1-1, and prepare for it?

I always hear that improving your macro is the most important thing, if you want get promoted to higher leagues.
Assuming that you constantly build workers: How low must your "average unspent minerals" be in order to call your macro "decent"?

I would say that is race-dependet, a Zerg could float more minerals since they sometimes depend on hard techswitches, but maby download replays of "decent" players and watch the "average unspent minerals" after the replays, you should have your awnser there, if there is one
