Come on people, obviously that's a stupid thing to do. | ||

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: http://www.repdepot.net/replay.php?id=7274&key=b37b9e - 221 EAPM http://www.repdepot.net/replay.php?id=7275&key=0e06f0 - 239 EAPM 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) | ||

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. Idra already knew how to play the game. Mr. Lee needed his mechanics to be improved because the Korean play style is so mechanic based. He didn't TRY to make his APM higher. I'd assume he taught him drills to help him develop habits to improve his macro, army control and general base management (depos, upgrades, etc). Ultimately, I think it's a matter of increasing your brains speed at recognizing all the different things you need to be doing in a game of Starcraft, and training your hands to keep up; as opposed to just trying to see how fast you can switch your screens view. | ||
