Title: Typo?

Source of this bullshit: 
WTF? You can put 225 units in one control group. Please tell me thats a typo, or did Blizzard just cut all the micro for SC2. I mean, what separates the pros from the decent players was micro, due to the fact that everyone would copy the pros so the only difference was micro. In SC1 you could only control 12 units in a group at max, which emphasized alot on micro. That's one of the reasons I was quite good at Blizzard's RTS games due to my high apm. Now that n00bs can control 225 units at the same time. My skill level will be on par with some un-experienced nubcake.
Micro = how fast you can click a unit, this is really important in Starcraft 2 due to you can have about 150 of your units on the screen, you gotta pull back wounded ones, cast spells with casters, make certain units attack certain units. And that was hard and challenging while only controlling 12 units.
APM = Actions Per Minute. Basically how much you micro in a minute.
TLDR: Blizzard just ####ed up SC2.
