Sadly Sc2 isn't there yet, as most games consists of building up a ball and 1a vs 1a into each other. I think when the game picks up pace for the whole duration of the match, these low apm player will fade away | ||

i mean it's not impossible ofc, you can easily tap between your buildings over and over, but still whatever he's doing he is doing a lot of =O Damn, some of those players need to get their APM higher xD (goody thorzain whitera jinro) | ||

1.) average APM (ingame) - macro 2.) peak APM (ingame) - multitasking/battle micro You need fast hands for short duration but you don't have to spam 470+ whole game. People "spam" whole game as they have problems shifting from low to high state. Statements "90 APM is enough" should transform into: "90 average apm is enough if you can speed up to 300+ in battles." Best regards Spammers  | ||

I don't think it really matters in sc2 though, most of the things can be done with like 100-200 apm if youre efficient. | ||

Also, I was surprised to see Grubby, the WC3 legend, with such low APM. Can a former WC3 player tell me, was there no APM spamming in WC3? | ||

The TL community knows that APM doesn't matter, it's effective APM that's important. Also, I was surprised to see Grubby, the WC3 legend, with such low APM. Can a former WC3 player tell me, was there no APM spamming in WC3? There were numerous APM spam players in wc3 yeah. FoCuS springs to mind as a crazy high apm spam player, not as successful as Lyn or Grubby despite having way higher APM. | ||

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. It does show potential though. Are you considering going "pro" and perhaps taking a break from school for a while? How much do you generally play? I heard you went to law school (which I do as well, at SU), is it at UU? | ||
