You want to isolate and train multitasking. You don't want to mass pointless games vs a comp with mass spam. Use this: http://77.251.196.241:200/Python_Multitask_Free.scx Just practice your macro BO with this while keeping the SCV alive. If you want you can add an enemy opponent. | ||

You are suggesting that bad exercise doesn't help? You are learning something you don't need. And then you try to adapt it into proper play. It just doesn't make sense. I mean, forcing your APM to be above whatever number, what does that actually mean? You could just hold down the 1 key. Also, one could just mass repeatedly click. All ways to create artificial APM. But this doesn't help your multitasking a single bit. Hotkeying all over the map does help. One may also do that. But it's better to make an exercise that focuses on that entirely. So now you can spam like crazy and get a high APM. But you will play horribly because of it. And then your normal play is still the same. Now you need to fuse the two styles, the two states of mind, into each other. Then weed out the bad habits you learned yourself. And then you spend a lot of time focusing on one aspect of play and you are still getting owned by noobs doing silly things because you don't know how to scout it, how to respond, how to read their intention. You still have no sense of strategy or tactics whatsoever.

But now people read it in 2008. I don't see your point. | ||

And yet I played better after doing this exercise. Yay for anecdotal evidence. (Admittedly I'm a lousy StarCraft player.) | ||

Edit: Though in only two games ive noticed way better drone saturation. Guess I was 'cutting' drones on accident all this time because I simply wasn't fast enough. | ||

I cant keep my apm up, and my minerals, as always, skyrocket. The only change is im sloppy as fuck and cant get my build order right what so ever. Way to necro a thread. All it takes is practice, just practice each aspect individually, then slowly put them together. | ||

The results are interesting though. Edit: in two hours ive gone from avg 100 apm to avg 160 apm, and my macro actually has picked up drastically as a result. GJ blue iris. Does he still frequent these boards? | ||

Help? Edit: After reading the last page I realized 'necroing' a thread might be kinda looked down on. Well, this board gives me a ten day waiting period before I can make threads, so I replied to this one. | ||
