I'll try this out when I get some free time (September maybe) but I'm not sure I'll have enough motivation ^_^; Anyway, I'll see.
Thanks for sharing, BlueIris Maybe one day we'll play together if you're not afraid of playing vs a D- Protoss -_-;

I finally broke 100 today!! Originally my apm was 63, and though I barely tried to reach the goals, I have noticed much improvement from newbie to lesser newbie. I am now 100% undefeatable vs 1 Computer AI! For 300 apm, do you guys spam many many times? I try to confine my actions to useful clicks as much as possible. | ||

Yes, the use of spam is very much so needed to achieve 300 APM, especially for people in the newbie skill level . Good luck getting there! | ||

Today I was able to move up from D- to D as a Terran player. I play at ~200+ APM (used to be 300) and I notice I'm doing less and less spam and more "real game" stuff. | ||

1) Lack of gamesense/strategy. Almost tragic levels of either. 2) Insane amounts of spam. If even 1/2 of your actions were useful, you would not have been D-. 3) Lack of experience. Watch some VODs! | ||

I won't advise anyone to spam 300 apm first. Just 200 is enough. And more importantly : having 500 or less minerals is what will get you play pretty good. That should work greatly. | ||

I'm suprised there isn't a recommended thread on APM/spam/stuch topics in the Strategy section, even though there are plenty of dumb APM threads out there. As everyone said, ideally faster hand speed translates into more apt micro/macro/multitask (mainly multitask, IMO). It's really bad of me, but when I teach other people how to play SC, it pains me when I see the mouse move so slowly. | ||

More on topic: What do people spam? I have taken to spamming my macro hotkeys whenever I'm not doing anything to check on production in gates/nexii. Are there any other things (that might be useful) that people spam? | ||

If you're just sitting there doing only what's necessary, and then the enemy starts doing a bunch of harass or drops out of nowhere, it's difficult to consciously remember to speed up in order to deal with the new threat. A good analogy is to that of a car. In a car, if you are sitting parked but then need to move, the acceleration will drastically slow you down. But even if you are rolling along at 5 mph, the acceleration will be that much faster. The same could be said for a kickboxer, it's best to lightly bounce on your toes rather than standing flat-footed. | ||

So I have a lot of work to do. I probably 'tried' to much during the game, since i did win vs the CPU and spent some time microing and such, so I will need to focus more on pure APM to attain the constant 300. Was able to keep resources low tho, except when i reached 200/200 and could not macro any more.. Fun practice, i think this will help a lot. Even partway through the game i felt like I could act faster and actually pay attention to what was going on, so I am seeing big improvements right away. I am normally at APM 80-90, so averaging 158 felt really fast to me. Also nice to have something i can do during lunch break other than youtube VODs, since I can not connect to bnet due to router issues. EDIT: Anyone know of a chaos plugin for live APM measurement that reflect your 'current' APM better? It seems the APMAlert does a whole-game average, so after beginning game spam it did not change very quickly regardless of if I spam or just watch it like a movie. | ||
