Sadly both are terrans. They should know there are more terran-haters than fans.

If they are practicing Starcraft 2 wouldnt that put WeMade in a tough situation with KESPA? Or is it because they are WCIII progamers WeMade will be fine. Hopefully KESPA doesnt make them pull the two from tournaments they are fun to watch.

Sorry but what the fuck. I kind of understand the whole "to keep your apm high during the game you need to spam your apm in the beginning to keep yourself sharp", but this is pointless. Even in the last one where he is under attack at two bases he could have done most of it with >100. Is this just a pre-cursor to the apm to come ? To actually use that 200+-300+ apm 100% ? most of it could easily be done with >100.

And now I'm not saying it because im a 20 apm noob who sucks at starcraft, I just don't see the point of half of the spam, and im asking a genuine about whats to come with the apm.

Also, Do they all play with this ridiculously low mouse speed ? I have mine super high so i can react quicker within my screen. My mouse speed is what has saved me a few times due to the fact I can press and micro so much quicker. This mouse speed is super super low.

Instead of flaming me for not loving their cocks, I'd actually want some serious and informative answers to this

APM and key presses per minute don't compare. I type ~148wpm sustained with no errors and it's independent of word size, real words or not. On some online tests I can score significantly higher wpm because of the word structure and how short the tests are.

In SC2 I average 170-220 apm and it is generally padded by right clicking too many times for any given action. The biggest difficulty in apm isn't key presses. It's coordinating mouse + screen positions + thoughts + game events with those key presses. For example, I can inject 7 hatcheries in under 1 second - it requires no mousing or thought. I doubt I can even place 3 buildings in 1 second and it is significantly less physical actions (if I had 3 workers sitting there and an open field I could, okay, but to place them coherently nope.)

If key presses translated to apm then every top gunz player would have 800+apm in sc2 no problem. It just doesn't work that way.

They spam because it's fun and because that keyboard sound is addictive. Seriously, some of you guys are just making problems out of stuff that never was a problem to begin with. Maybe you should ask yourself why you are getting so annoyed by other people's playing style.

How the hell do they spam so much without screwing everything lol.

So pointless, this is no longer sc:bw where you need million apm to rally every single worker from each of your bases to minerals.

Yeah, Moon's apm looks amazing, but it no longer matters in sc2 that u click fast - 200 apm is more then enough to do anything u want.

Haha I calculate they go through 18 keyboards a month! I really hope I don't sound like that when I play.

Nice videos and lol @ the people complaining about high apm. Why do you people always bring up the hate about pros having high apm?

Also another thing. It makes me a sad panda to see the official Blizzard GSL event PCs don't run SC2 at all max settings.

They're not even medium. It's almost low setting with terrible shadows.

I know, I know, it's all about performance and FPS for competitive play. But it's just funny that you'd think the creator of the own game would showcase better graphics.

They are not showcasing anything, it's not broadcasted or played in front of an audience, just players and some press with a couple over-the-shoulder clips leaking out at best. The casted games in GSL on the other hand are shown in higher settings.

RAM: 4GB G.SKILL Ripjaws

All players are forced to play at default High settings at 1920x1080, I believe.

For reference MLG uses for their PC tournaments;
