I propose an extra challenge. Do this with a friend, except max on units, a standard composition like you would in a normal game. At least a 100 supply army. Then once you're both maxed, attack each other in the middle and don't drop below 180 supply. Also, micro the sh*t out of your army. See how long you can keep it up. | ||

The goal is sort exercises is not to simulate a real game, it's to make certain tasks so ingrained that they are close to muscle memory. | ||

Prove it with a replay. @neowbowman: If you let the protoss max out on colossus archon voidray carrier high temp mothership he won't ever drop below 180 supply | ||

I see nobody maxing out with Zealot/Stalker or Roaches before the 12 minute mark. Sounds way more interesting than maxing out on workers aswell. You can get maxed on roach by like 10:30 on 3 bases, probably even faster with so At the risk of theorycrafting, zealots get you 2 supply in 38 seconds for 100 resources. Probes get you supply in 34 seconds for 100 resources. Just make probes. These are the units that even have a chance of improving the total time: Immortal -13 seconds +35 gathers Colossus -27 seconds +50 gathers Marauder -4 seconds +7 gathers Hellion -4 seconds +0 gathers Tank -6 seconds +31 gathers Thor -42 seconds +50 gathers BC -12 seconds +75 gathers Roach -7 seconds +2 gathers Hydralisk -1 second +13 gathers Ultralisk -47 seconds +50 gathers Mutalisk -1 second] +25 gathers Note: does not consider larva for Z; does not consider resources required to build tech tree. If the bottleneck is gathering resources, then making workers must be better. But if the bottleneck is production time, then it's possible that building some units produces a faster time. And based on the OP's observation that building OCs doesn't help, the bottleneck seems to be production time. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + I know I can do better, I got supply blocked at the tail end and wasn't adding all of the CCs to my hotkey group. (also I think after 10:00 you should build depots instead of CCs, as the CCs shouldn't produce any SCVs if you've done it right.) EDIT: next try focusing on adding CCs to the hotkey group got me 11:43. I will call 2 seconds behind Pokebunny "good enough" :D | ||

Large pic + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/xGhBf.jpg) Sloppy build, too late gas and a few supply blocks. First try 10:42. Edit: Even using a more ladder'ish build, 15hatch/16pool, 17gas, 2lings, lingspeed and third at 5min, I got maxed in 11:05 first try. + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/bGWfo.jpg) | ||

I think that this is what concentration does to you. The bane of lower league players is that they have the capability to macro well, it's just whenever something happens and they either have to think or react or keep track of various things, they completely fall apart. At least that is the conclusion that I would draw from these results. | ||

But the good news is, experience does help.Looked at the results, not at all what I expected. Bronze league zergs beat grandmaster zergs and overall, nearly all the scores across all the leagues were very similar. I think that this is what concentration does to you.
