That series is killing me. First no Orbitals, then nothing but Marines who move command into a storm, then no depots, though the no depots guy managed to be better than his opponent.

So, zerg units being attack moved into stalkers who blink away is your idea of entertainment? Meh. If the guy recording didn't pause the game every two seconds it would have barely even lasted twenty seconds. It has nothing on the majestic video that I linked to.

Or you could show, you know, the actual equivalent in terms of supply and unit type: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qB2HVUYUoJc

But I guess that isn't as fun as comparing the micro of 6 dragoons vs the 'micro' of 90 supply worth of terran infantry.

All that you do is select damaged stalker, and cast teleport behind the lines, that isn't comparable to SC:BW micro where you have to plant mines in correct places, where you have to run goons depending on what path is blocked, and depending on where the mines are located, and where you can drag the mines to kill enemy units.

In SC1 the units are rebellious assholes who you need to babysit, like in most old RTS games. In SC2 they like each other's company so much they huddle together and the micro is about avoiding the abundant AOE damage which will melt your army in less than a second.

You can't not pool as zerg.
I wonder what a 1 pool would be exactly? Double gas + double gas steal, then spawning pool before building a single drone? Seems like a strong build.
Six pool means, you have 6 drones and you go for pool. Eight pool means you go to pool after 8 drones. As you can see in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TkHuTA3RQQ&list=UUZ8D7Qvm0YHm0vZKFl-AFdA&index=2 you start with 6 thus you can't go faster than 6 pool.

Thought it was 5 you start with. I guess you'd need to build an evo chamber as well to get down to 1 drone to build a pool at.

No you start with 6. 6-pool is in fact punishment for a player that concentrates only on eco.

6 pool is building 6 spawning pools in the shape of a dick then leaving the game
