Usually after a long game, i have "cold" hands and sometimes i'm even shaking. Eh maybe it is because it is winter...

I never lose steam unless games are reeeeeaaaaallly long. I usually feel a bit slow when I'm playing my first game of the day, but after that I get into a pretty consistent groove.

I kinda still do this. If a game goes long I usually slow down and my senses are crap. Though my heart beat use to go crazy during small kinda tense moments, which doesn't happen anymore.

I hate to be the one to say this, but if you're getting tired from macroing (which is just pressing keys on the keyboard) then you probably need to get up. If you're getting tired from pressing keys on the keyboard, you need to begin moving your body.

Get up, walk around, and consider eating/drinking between EVERY game.
My strategy is to fork people.

I usually dont run out of steam in game, but sometimes after a really long intense game I will feel really drained. Starcraft is tiring!

Its not only physical but also mental stamina that is affected. So take a break sometimes and you'll slowly be able to play more games as time goes. (Do note that your stamina will be affected when you attempt to play at a faster speed beyond your comfort zone)

Try tapping at full capacity, unless you've practice games like stepmania you'll get tired after 4 seconds.

after 30mins, if the game is still going on intensively (which is pretty rare), my shoulder gets kinda tired, so I slow down a little .

Not really. My late game APM slows down dramatically but thats cause I dont have much experience in late game
It may LOOK imbalanced but its not because blizard hates protoss.

I am quite the opposite, I actually ramp up later on during games. On iccup last season it was really weird, if a game went longer than 15 minutes I think I won the game 100% of the time.

I dunno I just get into the groove and just start smashing the keyboard (metaphorically speaking) and seem to win. Which is balanced, because I am TERRIBLE early game. Lol.

I only really slow down in the late game when it's become obvious that I've lost, or at least I think that there is no way I can win.

Isn't this part of the reason progamers exercise? Stamina is a real part of playing that fast.
