I'll be interested in seeing if he can compete/continue to compete against good players with such low APM. At some point, and against some builds, it's just going to bite him in the ass.

Either way GL.

Hmm he just pwned NaDa at Assembly Summer 2011 with his "low" apm while nada was clicking thousands of time in a second^^

Looking the hands of both in this match-up was just incredible crazy, but in the end the low apm-ler elfi won^^

Is that a good thing though? Kind of undermining the need for mechanics/multitasking. I'd prefer some heavier micro or macro advantages/opportunities if you have the ability to do it.

i would rather be 20 and look 13, knowing that i will age slowly than be 20 and look 27, knowing that im aging quickly ^^


Exactly. Which is why I don't understand why...

People smoke crack. Seriously, I know a guy who smokes it, he's 34, but he looks like he's 50. It would just be messed up to go through that, not to mention loosing your house, teeth, and family. Don't do drugs kids.


Back on topic. He's a pretty solid player, and I expect him to come higher into the spotlight pretty soon. Gl to him.


I rather doubt that guy u know smokes cuz he likes it

he cheesed every game i've ever seen of him (like ~10), hope he's really playing properly now as he said he got more confidence, gl in that case


He have beated Nada, NightEnd, Stephano, Tarson and Adelscott in straight up games on tournaments, you should check some vods or replays.

Elfi is great and friendly guy.

There's no way that someone with such low APMs will go too far unless he boosts them.

Sure he's playing protoss, and sure there are some builds that you can get by with fewer APM.

But still he will never be as good as someone like select who can drop and multitask multiple fronts, or Idra who uses his APM to macro perfectly. There will be games where his shitty mechanics just shine through.

Man the stupidity of APM posters is sad. I remember Testie shutting out people in WCG's with like 120 apm with terran in SC1.
