EPTIt helped me a lot. Do it in slow motion, very clean first, and then again and again while increasing the speed. You get the right patterns into your fingers, and, most important, your brain.

a) spam to get the capacity needed to do more stuff some time in the future. b) streamline your mechanics so you can do what you need to be doing more efficiently - again with the capacity to be able to do more as a result. c) focus on the stuff you need to be doing - and do it. Build workers and move them to minerals, macro, scout, lay mines, move army around, get your tech and depots - and notice where you forget to do this stuff, for example macro slipping during battles. If you can do everything you need to be doing to execute a given strategy, you have sufficient eapm. One last idea could be increasing your physical fitness. If you are out of shape you probably won´t be able to sit on your ass for a long time performing well in a game as demanding as scbw. | ||

If you think about it a third dragoon on queue for 4 gates is an expand and an upgrade. I personally think you dont need a high apm unless you are trying to do a high apm strat, micro internsive. For me, its just a matter of getting an effiecient apm, and using the extra time to make tactical, macro desicions. Mo bases = more thing to use your apm on! @ OP Now that I think about ZvP apm is pretty important, but that can be counteracted with good tactics, flanking and such. Do you have any replays we could look at? If you are losing units due to storms and retreating you should improve your macro to allow more time for micro desicions. | ||

![[image loading]](http://s22.postimg.org/qxfjexydd/ldsfsdf.jpg) This kind of stuff only happens in my TvZs. All I remember doing is constant switching from my base, my army and then my expansions. Looking at my actions in replays I do not pay full attention for more than 5 seconds in one area during the late game. I don't really remember how I gained that kind of APM. The earliest replay I have with 200+ eapm was more than half a year ago which coincides with me starting to mass watch streams from afreeca. Maybe I started copying their style...^^ So you don't necessarily have to be a pro. | ||

Sc2 only player here, what's the average? I know for starcraft 2 that would be insane but I would imagine, since brood war literally has more stuff to do. it's slightly less ridiculous that I'm thinking. | ||

For reference, from the JD replay pack Zimp the god and dsaqwe provided us a few days ago, JD has about 220 - 240 eapm depends on games. Oh and in the infamous replay of JD vs Flash on Tau Cross they both had exactly 235 eapm. | ||

in order to increase eAPM, u 1a2a3a your army between 2 points which are about 1 screen apart from each other. i think using scv to build something, but cancelling it with moving the scv away with right click before it reaches building place should also increase eAPM. for me, APM had always more value than eAPM, but dont forget that APM/eAPM is not skill related. | ||

I did that once, 8 player game on school computers and I was the only one not lagging so I had a field day spamming...I was at 1000 apm according to the chaos launcher plugin for the first few minutes until everyone stopped lagging | ||

Atleast for me, it goes very much like, normal apm prolly around 200-300, no clue about eapm, but when I play a faster, strong player than what I am, I always find in game that "shit he's ahead" and it just instantly MAKES me move faster than in normal games where I have more time to think. The problem with most foreigners who are really fast is that they really dont have good game plans after all, so that makes them weak against smart players so its not all that black & white. I'd even say that vs foreigners you really need good game plans and you will get to the top. Also works vs a lot of koreans, but the top side of koreans (which are many still!), you really do need to be fast with everything while having a good game plan, otherwise you just get run over ^^ | ||
