u can get into via only good micro or only good macro. But you need to be exceptionally good at either. Also, u cant get into if you are really bad at either; need to be at least above average in both departments and extremely good in one.

Like for example, 1-1-1 works in tournaments and the GSL, so you can just 1-1-1 without doing MMM in tvp if u wanna get into masters. But your micro (siege tank targeting stalkers, marines targeting immortals etc.) must be exceptional

I kinda get the idea, they´re all important but macro is the most important skill. thanks for responding guys

Learn a build a stick with it, my approach to this is.

In T v Z I go for a reactor hellion expand. Basically I want to have my macro on par whilst I'm keeping active with hellions at all times! After this when my marine/tank/medivac timing comes I want to have my money low without missing any production cycles. On a side not, I want to make sure I have control of the watch towers at all times and if I scout a potential opening with my hellions to roast some drones I will take it.

In the end, I just want to be able to execute this build crisply up until the marine/tank/medivac push. I have found this great to not only improve my macro and micro, but it gets my hands movign around much faster. I'm sitting at around 190 apm (hellions require a lot of baby sitting imo) atm and as much as people say apm doesn't mean shit, it has helped me with executing other "new" builds I try.

Plenty of practice, like how most progamers do. Oh, and improving on one skill at a time.

well, you cant get into masters with just good micro, i think macro outweight macro, but you will still need to have micro :/

i'm terrible at both, it put me in masters. my theory is that the ladder is broken

At the highest level, all aspects should be perfect.

Realistically, I think if you're a lower league player, you should be focusing much more on your macro and your mechanics. These skills will propel you further than micro will.

A lot of pros say Marcro, so by the time your army is done fighting you have another army ready to fight.

Well, from my experience, macro is what you'll want to work on if you want to be an all round player able to win in many different situations, (not that I'm good at that yet haha). Micro is only going to be more important than macro if you're going to base your playstyle on all ins and timing attacks. That being said, you can only exectue these well if you have solid macro or you won't have enough troops when you're meant to hit that timng, or you won't be reinforcing as well as you should be to go for the kill! Obviously at higher levels having both of these things is important, and hence being able to switch between macro and micro quickly, or multitask, becomes more and more important.

I'm finding for Terran, micro and macro are just as important as each other. Doesn't matter if your have a 30 supply lead against a Protoss deathball, if your micro is terrible you will still get roflstomped!

Gotta watch dem storms!

[Cute]

Micro if you want to impress the ladiessssss

[Natelook]

I thin kgood Macro, A lot of pros say so

[Dox]

You can't spelling Multitask without Mutalisk.

wow if you are able to use 1-9. u shld already been in diamond without any problem. i only use about 4 hotkeys efficiently.. anything more and i will start screwing up a little. lol. i do map keys to my mouse too ( i use a deathadder) so i have 2 control groups on my mouse. helps with the keys that are further away like 7 and 8

You cant have good micro without good macro (what's there to click when you dont have reinforcements?)
You cant have good macro without good micro (cant manage 1 unit? how are you going to manage the whole team?)

My point is learn/fix one problem by one, it is easier to improve your rank in the long run. For example I used to have bad economy and couldn't produce enof units to win the game, so I kept reminding myself to keep building probes until x number of probes. Then only I focus on what units to get to counter my opponent n then learn how to micro each stalkers so i get higher DPS.

Know your weakness, patch them up and then learn more builds and repeat! Everyone have different approach to how they wish to win a game.
