as you guys all saw in ret's recent courage run, he has become quite the baller @ ZvZ. I sat him down at a PC Bang here in Korea, and had him do a little tutorial on how anyone can become great at Mutalisk Micro.

Youtube is up!:


ret teaches you how to micro mutas!

the map he was using/is talking about can be found here:

Enjoy!

Oh my God I love you ret. I'll be watching this ASAP!
It is impossible to be a citizen if you don't make an effort to understand the most basic activities of your government. It is very difficult to thrive in an increasingly competitive world if you're a nation of doods.

Artosis you shouldn't be showing this, this will give Castro more ammo to use against Ret! He will watch and learn and work on his muta micro to try to beat Ret on TSL!

This is all a ruse. He is teaching us the wrong way to micro mutas so that when he plays Castro, Castro will be unable to kill any scourge

I think it says this in the courage video, but was this before or after (Z)(nl)ret went to the 3rd courage? Just curious.

thanks dan

I've played the same map quite a bit, and ret is really spot on when he says you learn a lot about scourge movement and timing and stuff like that. Sometimes you can't afford to play around with stuff like that in a real game, because if you mess up your mutas don't just randomly respawn lol. I must have wasted spent tonnes of hours of this map practicing

While looking at the BWAPI videos, there's a way for mutas to shoot backwards with little to no deceleration. Can this be done?
