It's important to the extent that if you have very low apm, you will struggle with multitasking. However once you are at a certain apm level (about low 100's), it's not that important as other factors become more relevant. | ||

Basically, the theory is that the faster you play, the more things you can get done in a smaller time-frame. In sc2, APM isn't as important as most people make it out to be, but a higher APM does give you certain advantages, like being able to handle a 2-pronged attack while still macro-ing is something that you just can't accomplish without fast hands. | ||

PvZ yes all the others have a large range of openings that you could get into the ones you listed are all very safe though | ||

PVT - Gate Robo Gate x 2 - Expand PVZ - 3 Gate - Robo - Expand PvP - Gat Robo Gate x 2- Expand What do you mean? Those are certainly not the only viable toss openers at any level. PvZ especially focuses a lot more on Forge Expands and occasional 1-gate expands. You don't (or at least I haven't) see a lot of 3-gate expands nor 3gate robo all-ins. PvT especially has been a lot of 1gate expands, sometimes 1-gate robo expands. 3-gate expands can still be viable too. PvP has all sorts of funky strats going on. Just watch the Pool D play from MLG (www.mlgpro.com) this weekend. It has Huk/MC/Hero/Ddoro/Tyler all duking it out in PvPs. There's no real "standard" build except for 4gate, which has been done to death by everyone. | ||

What matchup is this for? Im assuming TvT right now. Typically that requires a bunker or 2 if you are fast expanding. Tanks are a positional thing, so keeping your army mobile and attacking while your opponent is unseiged is very important. If you have to engage tanks make sure to split up your marines to minimize the effect of the splash damage. Please finish your thought so someone can answer more thoroughly. | ||

I think in games where pros need 4-5 turrets to cover a mineral line vs a player like Idra who will still press the issue and take out the turrets these upgrades would be huge. Thoughts? I get the range upgrade for even a single PF and few turrets but priority depends. With a lot of turrets, I will want the range upgrade ASAP. Building armour too, generally. If I have a lot of resources and a free E-Bay, I will always research it anyway. | ||

PuMa Puma technically has a better record vs toss than Polt but Pumas opponents have been weaker for the most part and Polt has a weird hoodoo against TSL.Killer which has blemished his record after he had an brain-fart in the latest GSL and did a weird hellion strategy prior to that I think he would have been #1. | ||

I usually don't get these until the extremely late game because Armor and Attack upgrades for marines are just so important. If you are playing a mech style and don't need the E-Bay for upgrades then I would say go for it. Otherwise, Attack and Armor upgrades should have priority | ||

Though, it does show a record in your "Career" portion of you ladder history that will list your league rank for that season as #1 (it does this for every rank, but a note as #1 is nice). | ||
