80 apm is just too much for bronze, its probably not paying itself efficiently, meaning u might missclick a lot or generally being nervous. like me, I got 100-120 apm high diamond, but im fukin useless...



QUESTION: who are considered best in TvZ, TvP and TvT using standard play(terran players, koreans or not I dont care), so I download replays of them to watch? Thank you.

I just got the patch for NA server today. When I go in the replay, APM is still calculated the same and EAPM is like the old APM system. I thought it was the other way around? It's not a big deal, but I was just wondering if that was right or not.

Pretty sure it's a bug.

Pretty subjective. "Standard play" doesn't really say much because 1 rax gasless expand is standard, but so is 1-1-1. The replays you want will be of players who you model your own play style after and nobody knows that better than you.

MMA is considered by many to have the best TvZ, but his drop heavy marine tank play is difficult to emulate because of his superior multi-task. MVP has some great mech play in TvZ and TvT, but again his style is very difficult to emulate. I've found that its better to look for someone who may not be the "best" but rather someone who is good and has a style that is basic, simple, and easy to execute (like Thorzain's TvT or Bomber's TvZ).
I might be the minority on TL, but TL is the minority everywhere else.

It's not about how big it is, its about how you use what you have.

What is the best method to target workers in a lings runs inside the other players base?

Sometimes i run by a bunch of lings (20+ or whatever) into the enemy base and start attacking the workers. If i find some zelots (for example) in there they'll start attacking them first before the probes, and if there are 3 or 4 zealots it can do almost no damage. I mean, honestly i'm just A-moving lings at this stage while i go do other things, but im just trying to work out what is the most effective method.

Most common way is to move command them into the mineral line then hold position, the lings will only attack units within melee range so as long as you have them reasonably spread out they'll get most of the probes.

This also has the added benefit of being able to be queued up before hand even before you can see the probes.

Put it this way: I made masters several seasons ago with abysmal apm. I'm still in masters, but my apm has increased significantly since, and your apm is still higher than mine.

I'm trying to get myself to constantly cycle through my F-keys, but it seems I always return to my old habits and scroll to my bases. For those of you that naturally use the F-keys, how did you first force yourself to hit them? I know all I need to do is... do it, but any advice/tips that would help me break the habit?

Yeah i'd say its pretty good, but is that really what you need to focus on? Don't worry about your APM, thats for the GM's to worry about.

Slow mouse scroll to the slowest it can possibly be. I don't use F-keys, but I'm sure that will help you do it.

I was talking about to a GM MMR friend of mine on how to improve my game play past my mid-high masters level. He suggested to start integrating a wider variety of builds into my typical fast FE style. I play Protoss and 16 Nex PvT and FFE PvZ basically every match.

Specifically he said that I should utilize the strong cheese potential of the protoss race.

Question:

Where can I find a comprehensive guide/discussion of established Protoss cheeses in PvT/PvZ

Completely unrelated to SC2 but here I go ^^

I haven't really figured out what calculus 2 is equivalent with regarding Swedish math education.. calculus 2 is integrals and stuff no? At what age do you study this in USA?
