Are you talking about the first zerg level of the original campaign? The world record for that level is 5:24, not 6:37. See https://www.speedrun.com/sc1?h=Zerg_01_Among_the_Ruins-nmg&x=l_rdn5kznd-n2y6njzd

LMAOOOO. so i checked the world record. and i saw his record in the vod. so was like yeah i got this. You are right the new record is actually way lower.And a very interesting aproach. Back to the lab.

Wow. I've never played a single second of the campaign, so would having real game knowledge and being a very precise and accurate clicker even help with this?

of course it would help a bit, however those campaign speedrunners are playing one mission over and over, hundreds and thousand of times.

They know exactly what to do and where - and there your mechanics won't help.

Basically, mechanics help up to some point, after that, not so much. I bet those speedrunners are 120-200apm, not 300+ mechanic beasts.

for what it's worth (and i hope he can clarify for me when he sees this thread), shox - the guy who holds most of the records right now, was an okay protoss player back in the day if my memory serves me correctly. i'd say b/b- iccup peak?

GoShox was a solid protoss player for NA standards back then. Played a standard style relying on good mechanics and strategy rather than ape moving and coin flip builds. His style reminded me of Nony and Draw.
