I micro when I'm in a tough spot. Most of the time I'm trying to build crap, though.

That made absolutly no sence... anywho...

Ive never actually had a game lost to anyone who micro'd. Is it really that effective. I do it but as i said earlier, on a rare basis.

If you dont have much to do then plan an attack and think of what to do next, expand ect

Expanding is the key to the game, I think.

no.. not really :D lol you can have expands but not units to protect them.

well ... expand is the key because without expand u dont have units... units is the other key to the game... but the only way you get them is if you expand..

All the wgt reps I watch ppl expand like 2 at a time. I think you gotta keep your opponent contained and then expand like mad.

Micro?

Thanatos

The art of using your units effectively. Making sure they don't die while killing the enemy's units. I think that's a good enough explanation.

Micro means small.. that explination was horrid... i didnt know what it ment before and i dont know now. Sounds to me like your trying to say it means being good..

indeed it does :/

Er.... ok. Listen. Say you have 3 marines vs. 1 zealot. If you have those 3 marines standing in a line without moving them.. the zealot will kill all 3. Microing in this situation: When the zealot moves towards one of your marines, run him back while the other 2 are still shooting at it. If he changes direction to attack another marine, have that marine move while the first marine he tried to attack and the 3rd marine shoot at it. Do this until it eventually dies.

That better?

basically, microing is managing your units in the best way for them not to die in a certain situation

Yes, but what you said is not all of micro, its just an example, I said the term that is used to discribe what it does.
