EPTYou know how they have videos showing pro gamers hands to illistrate APM, i would love to see a video of just your hands in a game to see what it looks like, that would be very interesting. Also, what does the game score you for APM in your games?

When they announced at Sony they wanted to break into the console market. I thought they might announce Star craft 2 XD. Since it lined up with the same week blizzard was sending me emails. They ended up announcing Diablo 3 though. Still was a pretty cool experience that "I thought" I might have started something XD | ||

I can play Zerg at a masters level  Might actually race switch if I knew how to play the race properly and was not awful XD. Each race has its own difficulty and ways of handling its units | ||

Its not that i dont think that you couldnt get to GM using a gamepad, its just that you have to understand getting to GM using ANYTHING is unbelievably hard and many many many ppl just can never get there no matter what they do or how much they practice. You have to remember that mulitudes of hundreds of thousdans of people play this game and GM is reserved for the top moving average MMR of just 200 people... But anyways I think getting into masters with a gamepad is super epic in itself and congrats!

I'm a bit poor at the moment. I know this would increase the enjoyability of my stream. My APM Protoss 190-220 Zerg 270-300 This brings me to another point, Why is zerg apm so much higher? XD. I have not played terran for 100's of games to really say what my average apm is with it XD Your right it is difficult to be a GM player. That's more or less not really the point of the thread though. Its more stating my commitment to improvement. Even if I reached GM people will always set higher more impossible goals. P.S (I should get GM in wings and post screen shot ~.^ Ez) | ||

P.S (I should get GM in wings and post screen shot ~.^ Ez) because when you click in the same spot multiple times or spam the same key (aka make drones), you tend to have higher apm with z. Its the same reason why P players usually have low apm and terran players are usually near the mid to higher end (but still lower than z). APM doesn't really matter much, its all about how you use it. | ||

P.S (I should get GM in wings and post screen shot ~.^ Ez) The way that zerg macro works tends to cause zerg APM to spike... I'm high masters protoss, and low masters (maybe, might be diamond now haha, I don't know builds anymore) as zerg, but my zerg APM tends to be a little bit higher. | ||

I'm considering using a binary selector system with two selector buttons, quadrupling the available hotkeys, which is infact enough for full grid + hotkeys + a few camera hotkeys. I just don't know which two buttons to use, it is inconvenient pushing both control sticks, and the bumpers are important for quick actions. Using one of the four buttons cuts into the available keys and is not practical to do. I also thought of adding double taps as extra buttons, I still don?t knoe how effective that would be in practice. | ||
