I made my transition to masters once I reached 120 APM, and ended up playing high master level at 150 APM. I would think it's possible especially considering Goody and Sjow (who are terran obviously) play at tournament level for a while with 100-120 APM I believe. There also were changes in how APM is calculated on blizzard side of things sometime in 2011, so I don't exactly remember how that might have changed it.
I think this won't work, at least for zergs. Just to keep on top of injects + creep spread and general mechanics zerg is just higher APM. Probably 140-150 just to keep up.

I have around 110 APM as a Zerg with no micro at all. I just macro and creep spread and do 0 control and my macro is still not great.

This ought to be the starting VOD (at time 2:10). The rest should be here.

I think he might have been getting at that people say Protoss is easy to play and you don't need HIGH APM, yet they both used HIGH APM. I mean, it's in the name PROtoss, right?

200 APM is a lot... these guys' fingers must be insanely fast
|
this ridiculous tournament was the most fun starcraft I've watched in a long time. Great casting too!!!
|
I think 250 APM might be a good cutoff, based on this tournament's results so far.
