I was playing a BO3 with someone earlier today that turned out unexpectedly. It all started out as a friendly fun match with friends as obs. It was a PvT on Fighting Spirit, very normalish game. Than it came down to the point when T moved out, and I was being really retarded and not making up my mind on what to do. I went to attack his third, than went to defend against a drop, than tried to defend my natural finally trying to defend my natural in a desperate attempt but being too late to do anything. I considered the game a big fail and said my gg's.

The second game however was far different. I was pissed off that I didn't win the first game because I was retarded so this game I tried really really hard beginning with my harassment in the beginning of the game. This PvT became almost like a PvZ, as there was action everywhere(highly recommend to watch this game coz its the most exciting!). After defending off such a huge harassment and dealing the final blow, the Terran says that he lost because of luck probe that found him first(lol) and that some other mean stuff in which I didn't take any of and flamed him right back(which is amusing).

The third game was the final turnpoint of things. The score was 1-1. I knew that I could win because I was the better player. Now I just had to prove it. We started cross positions. He opened with a FD build and I opened up with a very quick FE build because I was confident in my micro. I wrecked his little FD force and the game continued as normal. Things got a little funky as he made a third base after 5 factories or added the factories after he made the third base. Either way I sandwiched him, sealed the game by taking some more expos, than forcing myself into his natural. As his shit was exploding left and right, I said "Fail Macro" and then he started feeble attempts at flame again which just made him look retarded.
Replays of the 3 games are here

On a side note, how can I get my eapm up for early-mid game? For some reason it stays really spammy and than during late game, it becomes very un-redundant and it messes up the whole average redundancy thing

Regarding the spoilered text, don't even focus on the value of EAPM/APM.

When you know what you need to do you'll do it and if you feel like you can't, then it just comes down to practice.

You should put your attention on other things and not even think about numbers you see in BWCHART (or whatever you use).

I just use it as a point of reference to where I should focus. Since my EAPM/APM is very redundant early on, I need to focus more on that part and focus on strategy learning in that section compared with late game

So you mean you don't have enough things to do early on in the game?

How early do you mean? Cause eventually you have to keep your scout alive, make units, make buildings, etc.

i have the same problem, early game everything flows really well scout constantly being moved around, probes/goons/pylons all at the right times, but whe it gets to like 60 or 70 supply everything just seems to slow down and i go from 240 apm 120 eapm to like 170 apm 100eapm.. which doesnt make sense because theres more things to do..

Well I don't know really all I know is thAt I feel more confident late game than not and I go up from like 220 apm to 270 or down from 300 to high 200s but eapm is always 200 but only like 150 mid game
