positioning isn't micro imo.


okay so

pvt late game battle

protoss blinks under vikings, shift ques them, throws up guardian shield, pulls back the first colossi the vikings start to hit, start queing up storms/feedbacks on ghosts, keeping them as split as possible, pulling the zealots back once mmm positioning is too far away, while reinforcing with zealots/pulling ht from other bases

tvp late game battle

terran splits his units as well as he can, while cloaking ghosts, sniping/emping ht/their army, while shift queing vikings on colossi, while kiting the units back, while reinforcing

both have plenty to do

as you can see from general consensus, most people are far more impressed by terran micro. that's just the way it is.



and even tho i main toss, i giggle a bit at the thought of a toss being #1 micro, just seems silly.

still better than zerg tho :rofl:

because at the lower levels it seems "hard", yes in bronze-diamond toss 1a>terran 1a every single time but that's just because neither side can micro, and toss units are better flat out 1a'd than terran

so the base case is that protoss 1a > terran 1a, which I agree with. then it would follow that at any higher level, it will take more from the terran because there is a disadvantage to begin with.

then after that, we can assume that people will enjoy watching the race that is 'harder' to play, or has the MORE uphill battle.

therefore terran micro >

It's really this simple. On the highest levels though the hill favors the terran, since protoss is kind of limited( Like if terran doesn't make a single mistake, and does every single thing perfectly, he will win, no matter how the protoss played, it is incredibly hard if not impossible though. ) Really bad concept from blizzard :( From the viewers point it's great since it is exciting, but as a player, it's not fair at all, and if there are huge prize pools, it can be really annoying, but even if you are just playing ladder such things just fuck up the experience.
