Fleeing the Weak - Micro Lab - SC2 Noob School

[tompolokcruise]

tell me where u got this unit tester plzx

[brgjm2]

i've thought it out, and if you get blink with stalkers and fight a zerg unit, would it be better to use the zerg's speed advantage against them and blink past them, not letting them hit and then surround, or would it be better to play the zergs strategy against them and blink into the units trapping them into a circle..

[steadyb23]

would focus firing get the same results?

[messi996]

@steadyb23 do both focus fire and micro it works even better

[JavelinMagic]

what's the name of that map? please someone tell me

[alakaboom4]

1 person can't micro

[WarBobz]

@alakaboom4 2

[Lestrigones]

what is name of that map, please someone help me.

[Squirif11]

REAL MICRO....

select weak stalker, pull back, then send him in

hold shift and select the next weakened stalker, so you have two stalkers selected, and pull both back. This makes sure that they dont just switch back to your weakened one, because you are pulling all the weak ones back rather than one.

[IIbikerII]

@Squirif11 actual micro...

using blink.

[Squirif11]

@IIbikerII Blink micro can only apply to stalkers, and only while they have the blink upgrade.

This micro can apply to anything.

[Wolvenblaze]

It's Raynor's dirty little little secret.

[dudeinthesea]

hey trebis awesome vids btw i actually watched a lot of these before playing and it really helped :D sorry if you already mention this, do you personally use Grid system keys or standard? I've just switched to grid hotkeys after a friend suggested to me and it seems like quite THE required thing for any player to get better. anyhow, great vids.

1. If you devide your army into an ark or into groups in the battle you will always have somewhere to move to unless there is alot of zerglings/broodlings in the mix of enemys.

2. In this case since the stalkers were pulled back close enough they walked themselfs back to battle i think.

3. For all who say that you can't do this practice makes perfect take on some medium computers and build your skill level then try it against hard diff or a person.

^^

[fatbuffalo]

when i have a big army , the problem is no where to run back ...

[mpm1900]

you make it look so easy, I can't do this at all. In fact its worse than no micro at all...

[jonez110]

@mpm1900 work on dude, U CAN!!

hf gl

[123snargy]

@mpm1900 nah dude its super easy, do it with any unit ground and air and you will see that it makes all the difference.

[naster123]

lol such a huge nubefest below me

[STInstruction]

blink micro is way more effective, but thanks for the vid.

[Vodka2389]

I wish I could play with the HP bars on, but then it's hard to tell which unit is selected.

[STInstruction]

@Vodka2389

im sure you know but 'alt' displays health bars.

[gerardoleo84]

Como sacaron ese ecenario de entrenamiento?



[MrRoyalclam]

@gerardoleo84 Lo tienes que descargar

[FrozenSoulz]

When you attack do you click on the enemy which only attack one person or you just let them attack themselves?

[Oldenuf]

do they just automatically run back into battle or are you attack moving them?

[jeffzahnd]

@Oldenuf have to attack move

[Fearbolt]

focusing fire would probably had been more helpful in that video then fleeing

[phlippsen123]

@Fearbolt oh yes dude

[jeffzahnd]

@Fearbolt the answer is no

[Eenamder]

@Trebis You're micro sucks Trebis, you shouldn't be any losing units. Lrn2ubermicronoob.

[TeQuiiLaSHoTZz]

what are the shotcuts you use to micro like that!? do you click on the attack button sometimes when you micro?!

[Rejexted]

Awesome!

[wwowz]

o.O where can i find this map? looks pretty sick

[GettinBurned]

Your Video are soo Helpfull! Thanks alot for putting them up!

[polojine]

epic fail micro dawg! and stalker are ez to micro!

[tmjones212]

yeah if you are against somebody with blink stalkers who really knows what they are doing it's pretty tough to kill anything

[influx]

your vids are such great tools for an sc2 noob like me. keep up the great work!

[GypsySockz]

Hay! I do have a question for you...Why is it that in the Terran campaign, I have access to the combat medic, but my multilayer online does not have access to it?

[Tony007corp]

@GypsySockz because those units are just there for flavor they are not in multi player because 1. it be harder to balance the races 2.since this game focuses on Terran we only see their flavor units if we included those in multi player the other races would have way less units. 3. many of the units like the medit and firebat we replaced by better counter parts anyways medivac and marauder/helion.

[jjchenyt]

Nice intro into micro.

[jamez1908202]

any way subscribers can get hold of you on Sc2 for some practice games? ;)

[8Gemuese8Kuchen8]

ohh great master ^^ thy for tip

[MrLockeV1]

nice :)

[MetalMulisha753]

nice tip dude

[unit613]

Badass! Thanks this helps alot. Dont suppose you have any zerg tips do you, my brood is getting baked out there

[struggle375]

awesome tips thanks

[bzalka23]

I got a question. How do you flee melee against ranged units?

[RelVleDy]

@bzalka23 With Stalkers, you just blink away at max range (even better if you blink onto high ground). With everything else, I just run my ass off or let the ranged unit farthest away from the melee attackers take a few extra cheap shots. If retreat is not an option due to a speed discrepancy (esp. Speedlings against, say... Marauders) then find a wall, cliff, ledge, etc. and use it to cover your rear and avoid less of a surround.

[b000gi]

@bzalka23 pull em back earlier to compensate for the fact that they will be taking damage as they fall back.

[IIbikerII]

@bzalka23 most units cant shoot while moving, take a zealot an roach. run the zealot away, the roach will get maybe 2 hits on it while running but after that it wont be able to shoot it

[xTasogare]

@bzalka23 Why would you engage a ranged unit with only melee unit? The only exceptions really being Zerglings+Banelings because your not going to be doing a whole lot of running away. Also the big reason why this works is because when you run out of the range of the other units the enemy AI will stop auto targeting the injured unit. Good Players will often target really weak targets any way but it still helps especially if you have two rows of units in the engagement.

[kld34]

Awesome! Great info here

[EthanBhoy]

Love your vidoes. I really need some sort of a air mircoing tutorial, I'm seriously bad at air battles!

[TheNickster1212]

@EthanBhoy well air micro is the same as ground micro

[EthanBhoy]

@TheNickster1212 Do you really think so? Maybe it is and im looking too much into it, but today I was having a really hard time moving my Vikings and Banshees around, while Im usually quite good at ground unit mirco.

[jtd92]

Great video BTW! Would you say that focus firing on each individual Stalker is more effective?

[xKappash]

@jtd92: Duh.

[Chtyoah]

Your videos are very helpful, thanks! I would like to play you sometime if you ever have some free time
