i wonder if thats one of the main things cj coaches look for in new players. Like really strong decision making, creative and efficient players. Besides effort it just seems a lot of cj players are slower then most like iris, savior, bbyong, movie

My gut reaction is iloveoov, but is the OP asking about current players or not? Oov dominated TvZ (arguably the most mechanically demanding matchup) for an entire year without losing a single game. He also has the most championships of a 'low APM' player, and has changed the metagame of StarCraft on multiple occasions.

If you've seen Jaedong's FPVODs you have to count him definitely too.

He almost never spams, yet gets his APM to ~ 350.

^ yeah just because someone is slow doesnt mean their efficient and just because they're fast doesnt mean they spam

I remember talking with ver about this about what it means to be efficient. Like ver and me have the same apm range yet what we do with our apm is so different. While im basically 1a2a3a and cycling my key constactly hes macroing, expanding with his.

Indeed, Iloveoov didn't rely much on mechanics, would miss occational depots etc, but had such an amazing game sense that made up for this.

I judge efficiency on how consistent they are with production of units, therefore Flash has to be the most efficent. I've seen games of his where he's attacking, defending, and yet his CCs and factories go on producing units as usual.

Past players with "low" APM (relative to other players in similar/lower skill group):

Grrrr (maybe too old)
nalra
iloveoov
savior

Currently, movie probably has one of the lowest apms among players his level (<250 iirc from OSL finals). Flash probably has the lowest apm among the S class (not sure about stork).

Kwark has crazy low APM for someone his level; tt1 not as low, but still fairly slow comparatively.

edit:

I guess the point is that high APM is not a necessity, but it definitely helps once you are up there. Someone once made an analogy between APM in SC and height in basketball that I thought was very fitting.
When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.

You can debate how good he is, but I had heard Upmagic averages about 210.
I enjoy Starcraft when I'm not too busy being dynamic and attractive.

What are you guys talking about with Flash being slow? 99% sure he's always been known to be one of the fastest along with Jaedong, able to average 400 in multiple games.

Well, if you download the Pro-replay leak, from a few of the replays I observed (note: I didn't check his APM too often), his APM was more around the 320-340 marks, generally in the 330 range. Granted, they are practice games, so its not a perfect indicator, but it wasn't 400 in those.

Stork comes to mind easily. He's always been one of the best Protoss players and currently he's playing better than Bisu. He's always lamented over the fact that Bisu is much faster than him and he said he was putting more effort into playing faster last year a while ago.
