I have a replay from some non-pro named "ganfei" where he averages like 400-450 apm. He was playing SK terran vs a protoss (it was a TZ vs PZ 2v2 game.)

Ganfei huh, iirc he was like C+ or something at best? I know he's banned here on most of his accounts.

There was a pretty good SK Terran TvP But I can't find it now Shine vs Some protoss on ..Forte? I think. Think he averaged like 470 APM in that game and it was like 20 minutes long

July hit over 800 in broodwar. What a beast. In SC2 (I know, I know, wrong forum) I saw Stephano get over 600 which equates to about 830 in Broodwar, although it's difficult to compare because some actions don't count in SC2.

Of course you can get higher by just holding down Ctrl+1 (I've seen over 2000).

Highest peak I've ever acheived is just under 600 (in broodwar, I don't play enough SC2 to get fast) and my highest average is probably below 250, normally I end a game with an average of about 180ish. Well I used to at least, haven't played more than 5-6 games of broodwar in the past year or so.

It doesnt have to mean anything, but can mean that you are that fast in situations where it actually matters.

Probably Nada or something, averaging 400 e-apm.

Watched a korean progamer show (I think it was Nal_Ra) saying that there were progamers with 500 apm but were just spamming needlessly and actually slowing down their gameplay.


no one is averaging 400 eapm...
nada used to have 400average apm in most of his games. highest average eapm i have seen was around 270eapm in flash replays .s

Thats actually not true at all, Bisu does average over 400 effective apm all the time and is known in korea as the fastest progamer. Both Zero and By.hero are also known to achieve this level on the regular but just not as often or as quick as bisu. Flash and Stork btw are known to be 2 of the slowest eapm players currently so using him as an example isnt really telling. Eapm isnt everything obviously lol


Please show me a game where Bisu gets 400 EAPM. That's way higher than the highest I've seen, which is 270-280.

As for 'regular' APM the highest I've seen in replays was G.s)Kyo who was pretty much always above 500. I don't know his EAPM since EAPM counters weren't around back then but I'd be surprised if it was over 220.

Also it seems like progamers have significantly higher APMs in broadcast games than in practice games. The post-game stats in broadcast games are always 20-50% higher than any replays that I have. For example, Flash seems to have 350+ in his broadcast games, but in all of his replays (admittedly old) he has high 200s/low 300s.

July peaked at 818, as people are saying. The highest recorded SC2 APM is DRG with 877 (per real minute), so 1656 can't possibly be real.

But peaks are weird. Averages are much more sensible to use, I think, if we're to start talking about who's faster


Yes, please don't talk about peaks, most of the absurdly high APMs are just people holding down ctrl+1. Also I don't think a 800+ peak is that hard in SC2 when you can just hold down 'R' with 40 larvae selected.


Holding down R with 40 larvae doesn't spike your APM unless your keyboard repeat is set really fucking high lol

No actually it usually mean's youre holding down one key.

The highest APM ive seen usually in actual battles from the replays ive watched over the years is like 500 or somewhere around there.

DRG would claim that 500 is a bit slow. I assume you missed this game in the last MLG or don't use reddit. Here. This was achieved for 5-10 stable seconds fluxing from 500-650 while making 15 roaches, 5 tumors, moving his army around and hotkey cycling. I also highly doubt that this is the highest anyone has ever hit over a very short time frame.

I think he said he was only C+/B- 1v1, but a bit better at 2v2. ¯\(°_o)/¯

It is possible to achieve APM over 3000 when using a certain technique.

It is a tehcnique that is required to play track and file type of games at top level, enabling you to hit buttons repeatedly at fast speed.

You can see it here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC2hn57Wy9mGDx-5RwwQevjQ
