How do we know that bwchart and SC2 consider the same set of things as "actions" ?

game is still growing and so is the skills of its players. When the skill cap is raised, one of the reasons for that will be the speed of the players.

Of course, this might not account for everything. I'm guessing we'll see a decrease in apm from sc1 to sc2, but right now I think the margin is inaccurate.

Keep in mind that the APM meter in replays is wrong when you play on faster.

Spam APM is shown by the replay analysis dealy-bob 100% sure. It's really easy to test and confirm in about 60 seconds if you disagree. My APM was 230-270 in sc1 with a pretty uniform line. I do spam at the start of games, but my APM doesn't really dip, and usually spikes really high during big battles.

My apm dropped to 160-170ish in SC2. The first reason I think is because I spend a lot more time thinking about what I should do in SC2 and in SC1 I more instinctively play because I've put down a lot more SC1 games than SC2. The MBS system helps a ton because (especially in 2v2) it's common for me to have 15+ factory and 10+ barracks when i play terran. I would use a lot more APM to macro those in SC1 than SC2 for sure.

Also removal of spider mines i think dumped my apm a lot more... hellion take micro, but not nearly the same amount of apm to use full effective.

MBS and automine are both big APM-savers.

They save APM which then goes to other things like micro, which would increase the apm overall.

In Brood War you could fly all over the place with f1,f2,f3 and it was also 2d so it was easier to just move faster on the screen. In starcraft 2 it is abit more slow and you cannot use the f-keys to improve you apm alot.
In life you can obtain all sorts of material wealth, but the real treasure is the epic feelings you get while doing something you love.
