whats macro and micro I don't get it completely. My biggest weakness is early game with zerg. I don't build defense until my lurkers come out. I just don't like wasting time with zerglings then never use em, or spawning pools and then they get in your way.

You need spawning pool for Lair and Sunken Colonies. Without them, Zerg cannot get Lair for Lurkers.

My biggest weakness is panic/boredom/micro. I need to hone in on those and fix em up.

i have a problem with expanding. i never build many bases because i like to keep my main base well defended. for some reason i never feel like it is defended enough.

Thats because you are not agressive a lot. You have to rememebr that if you attacke your ennemy constantly...HE will be the one too worry about his base being defended and HE wont have time to expand...results should be you getting control of map and winning. You see sc/bw aint a game were you both mass an army and fight it off... Its a lot more complicated than that. And my biggest weekness is spellcasting.

To have a balanced economy u cant be too defencive but u can neither be too offencive. I sometimes focus too much on offence and i dont expand enough...

Micro: As an example, spreading your guardians apart so only 1 will be hit by a PSI-Storm. It's basically looking after each and everyone of your units. If you are losing an assault, you pull back, even if its only 5 units. etc.

Macro: Making units and expanding

Cracklings: Zerglings with Speed & Attack Speed upg.

Speedlots: Although not many people call them that. They are Zealots with speed upg.

Toss: Protoss

Rine: Marine

Ling: Zergling

Ultra: Ultralisk

M&M: Marines & Medics

BC: Battlecruiser

Peon: Mining unit Probe/SCV/Drone

Gols: Goliaths

Vults: Vultures

SC/BW: Starcraft/BroodWar

Guard: Guardian

Goon: Dragoon

Lot/Zeal: Zealot

Ob: Observer

Sair: Corsair

TvT: Terran Vs Terran

TvZ: Terran Vs Zerg

TvP: Terran Vs Protoss

Thats about ALL i can think of. Maybe some other unit abbreviations i may have missed out on. I know you prolly know all these. But some new games mightn.

My biggest weakness is probally macro, when it gets into the part of the game where your constantly exchanging attacks it just slips my mind. This is how I lost most of my games, not paying attention to my economy and constantly producing units then when I run out of minerals/gas I'm left with trying to expand against an enemy that has the offensive..
