Micro and Macro – Improving your Starcraft 2 Gameplay
Ever heard the term “Micro” or “Macro” used in Starcraft 2 live tournaments, Youtube videos, or forums/websites, and had no idea what it is all about?  Well, Blizzard recently wrote a very useful, even strategic, article on the difference and importance of micro and macro Starcraft 2 gameplay approaches that are key to becoming successful in Starcraft 2 competitive gameplay.  I’ve quoted the entire article below and highly recommend everybody read through this, especially if you are unfamiliar with what exactly “micro” and “macro” mean. Your ability to execute macro and micro within a match can be the difference between a crushing defeat and a glorious victory on the battlefields of the Koprulu sector. Let’s take a look at the broader definition of macro: *     Macro – Short for macromanagement. *     Macromanagement – A strategy that focuses on the “big picture” and typically refers to the simultaneous supervision of structure production, mineral/gas/supply counts, and general unit position.
