Actually when Nal_ra was playing his apm was like 170 or something. I remember him being asked 2 years ago about what made him increase his apm or something to 200-250 and he said because of playing more and stuff like that/

I don't know, why is it that the only two players who can play ZvP nowadays have around 400 APM (Jaedong and July)?

Well savior's ZvP was better than theirs in his prime in my opinion. Coincidence I guess?
it wasnt better, in his prime pvz wasnt revolutionized yet

Eapm is effective apm and doesnt count the actions that do nothing (i think) and you get use the program here to see ur eapm: http://bwrepinfo.narod.ru/download.html

You have absolutely no idea what the hell you are talking about...
his average apm is about 250 average lenght games, not 130, lol.

Open any nal_ra rep in bwchart thats played more recently then 2001 and you'll see

I'm sick of the 1a2a3a joke.

Its true that protoss need less apm. But that's just how it is, it doesn't mean noobs can be better at it. I usually play protoss but sometimes I like playing Terran and my apm increases because there's more things I have to do. To put it some way, if you're not a spammer, it's easier to have higher apm playing terran than protoss at the same level, and that doesn't mean anything,

Comparing APM is just pointless, there is no direct link between being a good player and having low/high apm and there never will be. EAPM(effective apm) however..

someone here posted this and I think this is the perfect metaphor for apm

The user is the driver and the APM is the car. You have a very fast car but the driver is unexperienced so car will just kill the driver. Now if the driver is good and he has a "a-ok" car, that's enough for the driver to finish the first place.
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a

so what the heck is eapm? it doesn't seem as straight forward as apm. apm is just the physical 'clicks' of your fingers. so what the heck is eapm and how is it calculated?

ya but if there is 2 good drivers and 1 has good car while other has "a-ok" car, its obvious that the one with the good car will win. In other words you cant be a pro with low apm because you will just be stumped by pros with high apm. So in the end low apm = a newb or is destined to be a newb lol
