its helping me focus on macro, and the increase in handspeed actually helped me keep my scouting probe alive longer (although these sessions are just against the computer). i only set my goal at 200 apm, which is twice my normal playing speed, so i guess im not really pushing myself. in fact, one computer is too easy and predictable, so ill probably play vs two computers in training. | ||

Binding your CC to 1 and supply depot to 2 while its building in the start and spamming between them does no good. APM will increase naturally if just try doing the needed things as fast as possible. | ||

1scv 2cc 3-8factories 9-0 comsat the first five minutes are 1 and 2, the next 10 minutes are 3 and 4. look at any terrans with these kinds of hotkeys like nada or xellos and u find that after 5 minutes, you won't even see the number '2' being pressed. it's mostly just 3 and 4 and then occasionally 6,7, 8. The reason for this is because if you're getting reaver dropped or dt harassed, the instinct is to use 1 and 2 for units to expel the attack. After the attack is foiled you tend for get to rebind 2 to your cc again so when you're pressing 12121211122121212...2 is nulled. you only reached 50% of your apm. Therefore, after 5 minutes, progamers no longer press '2' and switch gears to 3 and 4 for the rest of the game until they need those keys for units. | ||

but pple who have low apm in general, arent doing the actions that cause apm to go higher -- the most glaring one for me being constant checking of production buldiings. Midgame, most people's apm falls after the early game spam/micro, and that's around when you see D/D+/C- players' macro slip off the face of the earth. If you try to keep your apm above 300, you need to do 'something' to keep it up. Most likely you'll spam 5678, and you'll see your gateway progress and shit, which reminds you to make units consistently throughout the game, which in turn sharpens your mind speed. -- a short writeup on how the right attitude can make the exercise worthwhile. | ||

4 goons vs 6 tanks, you can try to quickly snipe 1 tank and run if they're positioned badly but otherwise it's too risky. | ||
