Sorry maybe I'm misunderstanding, but how does typing speed correlate at all to improving in SC2??

Also, the thread title was misleading for me, thought it was a little more than just typing..cause you know, you do a little more than just typing in the game.

Nothing that requires any kind of hand speed.

A bit strange for me, most people are getting about 400-450 keystrokes but i have basically the same APM. I should learn how to touch type though. ^^

So easy, all you have to do is read ahead what you type. Try it with 1 hand and it will be relevant for SC2.

That's because typing is so ingrained in muscle memory for most people that it's not even a matter of thinking anymore, whereas you'll still have to decide what to do, when and how in a game of SC2.

For instance, I could probably type my name repeatedly a lot faster than I could select base, make probes, select probe, make pylon, select army, attack move + forcefield, select robo, make colossus, select nexus, chronoboost robo, select warpgates, warp stalkers, etc...
The latter simply takes a lot more thought and involves more irregular patterns while, when you're typing a word, the letters of that word are a sort of "road map" for what your fingers should be doing.

Japanese micro , it threw me off when the line changed after completing first line was that on your first try?
If only I was Kimchi terran not umeboshi terran.
1v1: masters
how much starcraft: 30 mins-2 hour depending how into sc2 I am at the moment.
Blizzard apm in replay: 108-130
SC2 Gears apm: 189-205
EAPM: 110.
race: terran.
Seems like in sc2 gears zerg almost always have higher apm / effective apm. Even when I offrace zerg and am slow since I'm not used to it I still get way higher apm than when I play terran even though I micro significantly less imo. I guess a lot of it is larvae select + creep spread, those tumors refresh so fast

It appears I'm really slow compared to everyone else. I guess I'm an example of someone who doesn't type very fast but still can be pretty good at starcraft. Perhaps the only reason I'm masters is because I play protoss. haha
