How bout you slow down the game and learn to execute a build and to respond to enemy builds perfectly. Then rise the speed gradually while trying not to cut corners to the fastest speed.

Vegeta training in heavier gravity is not equivalent to playing SC2 at a faster speed. To get better you just need to practice with the best players and having a coach that would help point out mistakes that you might miss on your own would also be really helpful. Playing faster would make you throw off your timings completely and would be more detrimental than helpful.

I love, how so many people took this seriously.

Nah, there are a lot of little things that rely on muscle memory and cool-down timings, training at faster speeds would just break all those things.

I think something that would weight down your fingers would work better, but as its been said before you still wouldnt know how to use that apm.

I don't know why everything thinks the equivalent of 400G training in Starcraft would be increasing game speed, as the actual equivalent would simply be playing Starcraft in 400G.

Think about it, your fingers would weigh 400x, so they would move at 1/400 of their current speed (Or not at all, since in reality at 400G you would instantly turn into a puddle on the ground lol)

Your fingers would slowly learn to get used to the additional effort required to push the buttons. They would get faster, faster, and faster until they were up to their original speed at 1G.

Then, when the training has completed and you return to the original gravity, you would become the ultimate Starcraft player:

There definitely is a map like this for sc2. I basically works like he said by making units move faster build faster etc. I think it may almost make sense when I played it my apm was like 160. My normal apm is about 90-100, yes I know apm does not matter whatever but it forced me to go faster and both were played on fastest setting. Map name is is like 10x speed or something, I only played at 6x. Macro is not incredibly difficult but micro is basically impossible. Will try to get replay.

Your theory intrigues me QXC and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

I think this would help out the top tier only in reaction times and some multitasking.

For us lower leaguers, it would help greatly in that regard, so long as your macro doesn't suffer for it. It would emphasize map awareness and LOOKING at the minimap.

by the way, i hope some people realize that there are similar training routines for modern athletes (namely marathon runners, sprinters)

one of them is to train in higher altitudes with less oxygen so that when the time for competition comes its way easier to compete due to more oxygen

i think fast would be fun to practice build orders.

Why not try and play two games at once?
By being at the same speed, you wouldn't mess up your sense of timing, but you'd have to click a lot faster and multitask twice as much. When you move back to normal 1v1 you'd have much more attention/better multitasking ability.

there is a map like this, at least published on EU server. search for "speed", and you'll see map named "1.5x speed | xel'naga caverns". everything is just as qxc described, but there is a bug -> buildings finish building with only ~75% of max hp, and stay that way. other than that everything works fine.

the problem in doing this is you will end up focusing more on macro and less on micro....

I dont think playing at a faster game speed is the way to go. Gravity training lowered your speed and agility and by training, you become "stronger" in normal conditions

So...I think the equivalent of this would be playing in a super cold room. Since this lowers your finger speed, and thus playing at room temperature, you would be playing at godspeed....?

Yea I've played it before. It was actually pretty cool and crazy but it would always crash.
