Only at human speeds.

Once you break the 10,000 APM barrier however, Zerglings start to dodge-tanks and other shenanigans begin to happen.

Micro has a general advantage of growing at a rate of N^2. That is, 10 Zealots, with perfect micro, can perform roughly as well as 100 Zealots with the worst micro possible.

Ex: 100 Zealots come in one-at-a-time vs the 10-zealots in an inverted-V shape. The 10-zealots will defeat roughly 100.

The bigger and more complicated the board gets, the more and more micro becomes favored.
