You often see pros with well over 200 APM in the very early game which i suppose is spamming made for warming up your hands. But the question is, how exactly are those early game APM-spams executed? is it just plain simple spam on a mineral patch with the waypoint or is there anything more complex to it, like special "spam patterns" for improving your mouse precision or your overall APM etc?
yes they are mostly precice patterns where you mix up clicks and boxes in a precise manner.
I have a question too: how will the GSL tournaments go on next year?

Going from bw to sc2...whatever happened to overpool expand builds in zvp? I guess it does sacrifice economy, but did the entire player base unanimously decide it wasn't worth it in beta or something?

overpool means you build an overlord and then build a pool, In sc2 that means 10 ovie, 10 pool. Overpool expand (in sc2) means that you get your hatch on 16 or 17, and goes down as your first 6 lings go out. That means you have lings the instant when you want to expand, so a pylon block basically means nothing.

Do you have any more precise "step by step" example of a pattern that is pretty commonly used and for what purpose? the reason I'm asking this is because I feel that my APM and mouse control is a little bit off and I would like to try different spam methods that can possibly help me out a bit on that matter. I've just started experimenting with this, spamming around with the waypoint a bit but I don't think that really helps a lot.

Ummm, excuse me everyone. I have an addition to make to the metagame of the free-for-all game type. I am the blue protoss that goes nexus first. Basically just set the speed to 8x and wait for the blob of red to attack my left-side gold. Then sit back and enjoy my gift of how StarCraft II will be in the future. You can also pop into my opponents' first-person views for extra lulz if you so wish.

Does anyone know if ladder will ever be reset?

So what is the explanation behind the fOu clan? Is that an abbreviation? An Asian word? I'm curious.

Yes, Blizzard has said it will be. The exact date for the first reset has not been announced, but I'm guessing it'll be early next year.

People have different habits. I personally re-select individual workers over and over, and keep grouping them into different groups. I try to run through all the combinations of the initial 6 workers before my barracks finishes, which is a little quirk of mine. =D

So I found a pretty effective way of improving my play. I always found it awkward to use any number past 5 on my keyboard in terms of keybinds, but I fixed that with some sweet TF2. I basically rebound all of my movement keys and stuff to TGFH and although it was super weird at first, after many hours of instense TF2 it became second nature to me fast. And now that I go into Starcraft 2, my hand just naturall goes to the middle of my keyboard, and it's much more fluid to use 2-8.

Hey guys, don't know if there has any info about this but I've recently come across a glitch when I played a 2v2 against a Protoss and Terran on Metaopolis(don't know if it works on all maps or not) and they built buildings on the very edge of their main and the units began to spawn outside the map. The protoss had 2 immortals stuck between the gateway and robo and then 2 colossus were on the outside the very outskirts on the map walking on thin air and proceeded to attack my main from the outside where I couldn't attack him. The terran also built his barracks on the edge of his main and did the same thing with reapers.
After the game I tested it out on a custom match with my friend on metaopolis. I made a clump of buildings on the edge of my main and rallied the robo right outside. A couple of colossus got stuck inbetween but eventually a collosus(or any unit) will spawn outside. It is very glitchy and difficult to control, but it works. O_O
Anyone know or encountered this glitch? Sorry if this was identified as a very old bug or something.

i had a strange idea, where people would practice games against one another but with fog of war turned off, that way they can see strategies of oppoents in play and how they are executed, this will teach them what to look for when scouting when fog of war is turned off. This way when they scout and they see something they can be like "okay, i see what he is doing, so im gonna be prepared" or something like that...i dont know lol
