Forgeting about apm is not a good idea.

Only people who tell you this are people who canot be fast, and constantly claim its useless rather than train. I dont see why people with 140 apm think they can act as the authority on the subject.

Tip 4: Don't be afraid to queue up 2-3 units at a time. If you were a perfect player with 350 apm you wouldn't need to do this, but you aren't, so it is necessary sometimes. As long as you have enough macro facilities this isn't so bad.

Micronesia although it depends on the situation entirely, as I said, it is relatively easy to kill a nexus with vultures.

Apparently I was somewhat misunderstood. It is not my opinion that you should tell a noob to emulate pro level macro. Obviously that won't work. On the other hand a noob is going to have a hard time going half way with this. Watch some noobs play and you see that they have a tendency to either build tons of uneeded gateways (or analogue) or at the other extreme to have 1-2 gateways with 5 units queued up at each. The way you get better is to transition. One game you do the 5 units per building queueing like a noob. The next game you start to get the feel for the fact that you are about to queue up 5 units per building, so you add a couple of gateways. Eventually you end up queueing 5 units at each gateway again. The next game you get an even better feel for when to add gates, and before you know it your macro is c level. I would just be careful about telling a new player that it's "O.K." to queue up several units at each building. More like, it's going to happen as you get better, but watch the replays and learn how and when to add buildings correctly. The same generally goes for supply but in that case I admit they are better off at first overproducing them ahead of time....that way while it's bad practice increasing supply, it doesn't prevent them from practicing every other element of the game.

This is probably a good tip. If you focus on how to play then your apm will go up, but it's still a distraction and some people do stupid crap because they are ostensibly 'raising their apm' when they should just learn how to win.

this one's good too
so many people i know who are relatively new to the game dedicate themselves to one race right away, and have no grasp of what other races do when and what signs to read =(
