the way i see it the pro's practiced the game and as a result ended up with high apm, where as alot of new players are practicing apm more than the game. in a recent interview tlo actually said if he see's someone with low apm and he wins he's more impressed.

yes, apm matters, but only the effective one. tho spamming is the best way to improve that. good apm alone will not make you gosu tho, it's one of many important aspects of RTS.

what limits me in my APM is not that my hands aren't up to the task, I just don't know the game well enough to make intuitive decisions on the spot. So most of the time I'm just sitting there trying to figure out whether to attack or not, etc. instead of responding instantly to the situation.

I also find that my brain just freezes when there's too much going on. Like, I'm getting dropped at the back of my base, my queens are ready to inject, my creep tumors are ready to be relocated, there's a viking harassing an OL, while I'm trying to scout his army so I can run in while he's unsieging his tanks, etc.

I think one can only become faster in these things, if you ALWAYS know exactly what the right response (which includes the priority of your actions) is and just do it without thinking, which is achieved by playing a lot of games.

And people keep saying Sjow is amazing and has low APM. While I agree that he's very strong I've also seen him crumble if the multi tasking gets too taxing (like forgetting his dropped units, not respinding to drops in his base, moving his whole infatry away and leaving his tanks unprotected, etc). I'm pretty sure he will try to improve his APM, as it will help him to deal with these things.
