Congrats... You can certainly win some game with low apm, but you're gonna need to speed up eventually.

I proxy hatch against D level players sometimes. It's not really that I'm using a superior strategy, it's just that D level players have no game-sense at all and can't smell when something is fishy.

APM doesn't live up to all the hype.....

EAPM is more important. Keep practicing, keep playing, keep finding ways to improve, and keep studying, and you'll do better. There is a correlation between APM and skill, and as you get better, your APM should also increase.

More importantly, remember that it is a game. Have fun!

Most times I play casually I'll be around 55-65 APM and do fine, high APM isn't necessary, just like Day[9]'s cast on the mental checklist. You dont' need the highest APM in the world to win games. My winning percentage in beta was around 65-70% and rarely was I against someone with lower APM than me. Smart playing can beat faster spam.

EAPM won't help you win ZvZ Imprevious. That match-up requires a lot of repetitive clicking so that you can force your units to reassess their pathing, and EAPM considers that spam.

In ZvZ, I went something like 10-2 in the D/D+ levels using Hydralisks. I had a similar record using 9 hatch inbase into ling/scourge. This is simply because the D and D+ players don't know how to react to it, or they are simply terrible..... Both strats stopped working nearly that well at the C- level. And I doubt that I broke 100 apm in any of those games. And C- players can't snipe scourge very well either..... Those that can die to 2 lings killing all of their drones, cause they`re not paying attention anymore.....

EAPM for him is much more important right now. Splitting 12 lings into 2 groups of 6 and getting a better concave is better than spam-clicking a single group..... And splitting it into a group of 10 and a group of 2, dancing the 10 around until you get some help and sending the 2 behind enemy lines to kill all his drones is also a better move than spam-clicking 1 group.....

Better timing and multitask will be much more useful for him right now than spam clicking some zerglings..... And, if he could snipe scourge with reasonable success, he could be out of the D level pretty easily..... The truth is, he's got a lot of work before spam clicks actually become important. Watch the games and you`ll see.

Btw, I watched your rep vs NonY recently. That was freaking awesome, too bad it didn`t work

High APM can also mean doing the wrong things faster, which make you lose even faster. Its a double edge sword.

Its always more important to do the right thing, and then you worry about speed.


How does doing the wrong thing faster make you lose faster? An ill advised a-move into a tank clump, for instance, will lose you the game right there whether you do it in 1 second or 5 seconds

Isn't it a fact that Stork is a slow player with very low APM?

However, even for Stork, he has about 150-200 APM in every game (if I recall correctly).

Therefore, I think APM does not matter after a certain level. I believe this threshold to be around 150.

Stork is definitely higher. I know PJ's APM sometimes dips below 200

Stork said he has increased his apm, where his apm was like 250 before he said that. I think the absolute slowest progamer I've ever seen was Movie, who has apm like 230? His low apm really shows in his play too, as he doesn't react to things very quickly and sometimes things do WAAAAAAAY more damage than they should (Like when Bisu slipped in a DT and killed like 20 something odd probes on Triathalon, but the real fail was that a rallied obs saw the DT, but Movie failed to notice it himself).
