Not counting the first two minutes has pretty much no impact on these numbers.

|
Thank you maybe now people will shut up about sjow having "90 apm".
|

True, but Merz is pretty much known for spamming like crazy.
|
Wow Merz is fast as hell didn't expect MC to not be on the top, cool information thanks op. 
|
Its kinda sad that people can be top players with 130 apm though  .
|
Wow, it seems like 339 APM will hurt more than help. That's a lot of spamming!
|
Isn't Ingame APM 1,33333 times slower than Real apm? You used the factor 1,39, still gives a good overlook though
|
wait... someone had lower apm than goody?
|
As long as you have high enough APM to keep up with the multitasking that the game requires you to do, then you're fine. APM elitism is retarded at progamer level, it matters when you get into low level players when people have APMs <80 and can't keep up with what's happening in-game, but at this level it's irrelevant.
ViBE said his high APM really helps him because it allows him to always be on top of multitasking and such. Most spam is just to keep yourself as focused as possible.

How is it sad? APM is meaningless, this has been known for a long time.
I think it's a very very good thing that intelligence/decision making/timing/positioning etc are vastly more important than raw hand speed.

Only idiots go by sc2 apm. Its Actions Per Minute, not "Actions per poorly designed blizzard minute"

How is this Sad? o.O
I think its awesome that people can play effectively enough to be a pro gamer while only using 130 apm!

Good to see some pro players don't have super-high APM, makes me feel better

Exactly!

And here we have the stats proving that skill doesnt develop out of apm but skill can mean a high apm but doesnt have to.

130 APM is enough to do all you need to do in Sc2 if you use it efficiently.
|
I love how the 'press F2 to check my expo site still exists for the 5th time' action is given the exact same weighting as the 'building a robo to counter the DT rush I am preparing for based of scouting a second early gass' action.
In short once you can think fast enough to get what you need to do figured out, and click fast enough to do it it is all about the quality of the actions and not the quantity.
EDIT: Clearly if you can maintain your win rate, the lower the apm the better. Learning bad spam habits, over microing, wasting time, energy and resources, developing CTS/RSI or worse.
