Sitting there sucking balls for months on end because you can't just play slow and well and try to force yourself to get 300 APM is stupid, yes.

he's saying that doing everything wrong while trying to get 300 apm is stupid, not that aiming for high apm is automatically bad

and pros do intentionally try to raise their apm, but it's not like daniel lee's one and only improvement for idra was to get his apm high, he just wanted him to have the extra useful actions, likely because terran is such a high apm race

I'm certainly no progamer, that's for sure.

I know I've seen 250 EAPM before on my replays, but these are the ones I could find with a 5 minute search before I didn't want to keep looking:

you think that because trying to raise your eapm or apm disrupts your game that you shouldn't do it? I think every pro goes through trying to raise their apm or eapm.

i remember when idra went to estro daniel lee made it his mission to get idra to raise his apm.

for sure if you're not naturally fast, you're going to be uncomfortable raising your apm. but the point is to be faster. If a guy was comfortable with 140 apm and never tried to be faster, he would be at a plateau.

There was a time when I was average 140 apm, but month after month i tried to raise it, each time finding many disruptions to my game because i couldn't get use to the faster speed. eventually i got up to 250 which is where i'm currently have. you have to 'practice' playing faster. of course you're gonna be confused in the first few months because you're not use to the speed, but eventually you will be.

as another example, it's like a guy going to the gym and only lifting 30 kg dumbbells. he doesn't want to lift more because he's not comfortable. well, the point is to try to get you to that point whereyou are comfortable. and eventually you'll get there.

Thanks but I was hoping for 1v1s I don't know how to judge someone's skill in 2v2 (especially not when it's roadkill against 100 apm players lol)
