The APM counter goes off game time, instead of real time. Thus playing on Faster causes the game to believe that you are slightly slower then you actually are. IIRC it's like 30% slower? So 100 APM is actually 130. | ||

Also WC3 players should have higher APM in SC2 atm just because it's more similar mechanically with WC3 in the areas that really give you 'apm' or 'speed'. Anyway I don't mind who wins I like both but I'd like to see Check become a force in SC2! iirc Check is one of the 400 apm in wc3-.- I remember he is spamming 1 and 9 ( yes 1 and 9 ) at the start of the game when playing human | ||

I think the thing that a lot of people don't really understand is, in Wc3, a lot of the higher APM players, issue the same move or rally point cmd many times in order for it to register. Which brings up their APM. Is it effective? Hard to say, I know some people like space who have 130 APM and can only hotkey 1-4 and are effective. Then you get players like bly (please correct me if I am wrong about it being bly) that have that insane 'gosu' APM, and never made it past semi-pro considering they aren't nearly as effective with their actions for their super high APM to mean anything. Back on topic though, it would be interesting to know if the Blizzard APM tracking system is 100% accurate, or if it does have a margin of error due to the speed of the replay, etc. | ||

Space has low apm due to his terminal muscular distrophy condition and he does lose some games due to not being able to bind his army properly. He even said in an interview that he frequently plays games without binding at all (which is utterly insane to comprehend). You don't need as high APM to in war3 as you do in SC1 and that's mostly to do with the simpler macro, but the micro is incredibly intense. | ||
