Are not both of these just dream maps for any tank all-in, looking at what Gumiho did in his group.

My bet is that he is using the rapid fire trick on something (most likely in the corrosive biles) wich makes the APM spike like crazy.

They are very good ZvP maps.

Odyssey? I don't think that map is zerg favoured.

Yeah, that explains why he has 1500 apm spikes.

It does not explain why he can average over 500 apm.

I believe on russian stream they mentioned something related, but it had mention of alt-c and i have no clue what that means.

It's a bug with his account, iirc TLO doesn't know why that happens.

it's the "steal from group" action which causes the apm spikes (where you assign a unit to a new group and simultaneously it gets deleted from other control groups). afaik it causes 1 (or 2) actions for each selected unit to which you do it. So you do 1 Action and it ends up being 20 "APM" sometimes.

Proves that we can't say if the game is really balanced because sometimes one race has just much better players than the other races.

That's... odd.

That sounds strange, my APM didn't rise after I started using it iirc

Tbh it proves nothing because in Europe zergs are just the biggest names. It's not like that in other regions.

Snute's doesn't either I wonder if it's because I use Q and W for it and maybe hold it down a bit longer than normal people so I actually spam create or something.

That's my point in EU zerg looks OP because they have the strongest players.
It's just as possible that in KR the protoss players are much better than the other ones but we can't know because the game is balanced around all races performing equally well there.

yep because showtime/heromarine/uthermal/ptitdrogo/harstem are bad players who never stood a chance against these zergs. Also NA region was won by zerg too Scarlett with JonSnow taking 3rd. China top 2 were zerg and they 3-0ed both TIME/MacSeD. Also taiwan a region dominated by Has for over a year had top 3 all zerg being Sen/Winter/Rex. So you can't say its only EU or that it proves nothing or that is not like this in other regions because it is.
