Thanks for the challenge pokebunny! This is exactly what I was looking for, a very simple way to practice BASIC Macro principles - I noticed an immediate improvement in my larva injects, and overlord timing!

after a few tries(6), I got my time down to 11:38 on Metalopolis

Lack of data but it's interesting that for zergs the difference between grandmasters and bronze isn't that different...I think the real difference comes in once you factor in other things such as builds and having to focus on more than building things.

It's funny that there are quite a few fails who can't read the OP properly and go about this challenge their own way or better yet posting incredulous times with no evidence.

Comon peeps... we need those replays! If you are that good I wanna copy you too! :p

says it should only take 11:15 but the program doesn't take into account travel time for scv to go somewhere before building the CC. Ill test the other races and post them up.

Did something like 11:28 as first attempt as Zerg...

Gold / Plat level but I only play like 1 game a week.

I realised about 8 minutes in that I can make a macro hatch lol? Or are we only meant to build bases at minerals? I ended up making 1 at around the same time I would take a 3rd to "simulate" a typical game. I could have got it earlier for the purposes of this exercise. I guess around 11 minutes is good if you are doing everything perfectly. Towards the end some of my queens had about 10 energy.

the trick is after 4-5 bases you want to start macro nexi bc the travel distance to make nexi in bases on metal is wayyyyyyy too far. also use the Zerg back space trick to chrono all of your nexus in matter of seconds. Hell u can even chrono using mini map :D....

based on the results so far it doesnt seem like theere is a significant differeence between the higher leagues and the lower leagues in just building workers and supply depots

It's more about the build order and not screwing up more than anything, since you eventually have enough minerals to just queue SCV production.

True I don't really understand why Metalopolis was chosen for this if you cannot mine from the gold anyway but alas, that's how it is ^^
