Hey everyone,

Recently I was told I needed to improve my macro (thanks DalvernX!) and that if I did that, I could easily climb out of Bronze and into Silver/Gold. I decided to play a few AI matches doing nothing but building SCV's and Supply Depots, and pressuring the enemy with constant Marines from 4 Reactor Rax. To my surprise, my macro improved almost instantly - I was able to handle all of the tasks at once, never got supply blocked, had workers constantly being produced, kept my resources low and won all the AI matches.

On a whim, I took this "strategy" into a ladder game, not expecting to come away victorious. The match-up was TvZ. I won. I have since won approximately 9 out of 10 matches with this strategy, only losing one because I was tired and making bad mistakes. I have since set up an easy transition (Marine/Tank/Medivac/Viking) particularly for TvT, in case my mass marines don't cut it.

But now I wonder: Is this strategy cheese? It doesn't seem to be, as I'm not sacrificing economy, I actually have great economy.

Also, is this strategy really going to help me? Or will it just feed me easy wins until I get to Gold/Platinum and then leave me high and dry with little practice with anything else?

Cheers.
