Doesn't seem that you need more than 100~ apm tbh.

That's not related to APM, it's related more to lack of production buildings. Other low apm players don't do it.


So that obviously still clearly shows that his 130 apm are not used in the most effective way?
Even top players in SC2 are still not that amazing compared to BW, saying you surely dont need more apm is kinda silly


What? No clue what you're trying to say or how it's related to GoOdy's unit queues.


how is it hard to understand
funk100 says 130 apm is enough to do all you need to do in sc2 if you use it efficiently.
I say thats wrong because goody clearly could considerably improve his play. Neither are his 130 apm enough, nor does he use those 130 apm in the most efficient way.


also you say "its just related to lack of production buildings."
but guess what, building more production buildings, keeping up with your macro like that takes time and APM too.


So you responded to a guy called funk100 whilst quoting my post? Right.........

I don't know specifically what GoOdy does with his apm, but other low apm players don't queue 5 tanks from 1 factory. It doesn't take 200 apm to build a handful of production structures.


jesus christ
I quoted funk100 and responded to him, then YOU quoted ME
do you not understand how this forum works?

also yes, other low apm players dont queue up like goody does, but goody does hundreds of other things way better than those people do, you cant do everything at once if you only have 130 apm.


Clearly I was responding to "sure, thats why goody never queues up any units or anything" and nothing else. You've just agreed with me anyway so... yeah. No need to single out GoOdy's unit producing bad habit as an argument about low apm players.

lolol, yeah youre right, you won the argument haha

Just more good advertisement for spamming being useless. Also whos gonna be laughing in the end when they can win without getting any carpal tunnel or similar injuries? You should win with the minimum APM needed

carpal tunnel and spamming has nothing to do with each other. read about carpal tunnel and you would know that.

and supply blocks himself for 2-3mins

in averange ~150 should be enough, but there are situation where u need 300+, so fast hands are an advantage

For everybody who says APM is meaningless, it really isn't, for example if a zerg had less than 100 apm they are not going to be able to effectively inject, spread creep, and do everything else, e.g. defend drops and harrass vs a terran, or constantly drop and harrass vs a protoss if they play that style. Having low APM isn't the end of the world but it limits the strategies you can do massively.

I used zerg as my example as I play zerg so know it better but it applies to the other races too, I think Goody said himself that mech suits his style due to his low apm but good decision making.

Not as Terran or Protoss, indeed.
Like TLO said when he switched to zerg a while ago:
"Even with 600 APM I feel like always having something to do as Zerg"

Of note: the player with the higher APM won the game 58.46% of the time. If one player's APM was at least 50 greater than the other's, that player won 65.7% of the time (from MLG columbus).

So APM does mean something at least. At average the person with 50 or more APM than his opponent wins twice as much.
I can no longer rest under the tree of wisdom, since you have axed down the roots feeding it.

1.39 is the real factor. It's been tested many times, and it's correct. I just use 1.4 for simplicity though.

How can people still be spouting this crap when the post itself makes a strong link between the winners and high apm.


Yep, Thorzain being 7th slowest player at DH sure does back up that, its not like he won something big lately.

What a good samplepool you got there, surely we can conclude something from that.

Thorzain spikes a lot in his apm though, i've seen him do a lot of marinesplits and such against banes/seige tank lines that take quite fast hands to do, I think the real answer is a lot of very good players don't spam and their average apm is shown to be lower.

Thanks for posting this, I find it interesting to see that not all pros have insanely high apm. Good mechanics and strategy is really the key it appears.

Marinesplits does not require high apm, it does require good mouse control though. But I do think you are right about some good players being able to go to super high apm whenever needed but dont spam.

My APM is not close to being 339/470 effective APM though. I've had a lot of people tell me I spam way too much and It's true, it's just so built into my "autopilot" i.e the way I'm used to play that whenever I try to stop the spam it gets awkward and I feel out of my element. For me the spam has always helpt me kept in "pace" of the game as in I'm always going at the same speed rather than starting out slow then gradually become faster. I still think spamming to a certain extent can be good for you to keep the pace up and your hands warm but I obviously overdo it.

I blame NaDa's early FPVod (vs SirSoni I believe) where they show his keyboard and he went at like 300+ apm. I was like 12 at the time and figured "hey that's how I'm going to play" and now it's just so natural to me that I don't think about it.

can you tell me how it is sad? sc2 is a different game where they made it so you have more time to think about strategy rather than bringing ur new workers to work. Sc1 was just a battle of mechanics, aka "who is the better machine".
