I'd imagine that a lot of these players will develop repetitive stress disorders playing at this level o_o | ||

I also wish things like 'Top Zergs play at 500 average APM' when they straightup don't. If I recall correctly, that fallacy is oft-repeated, and is based on DRG peaking at 550 or something at a moment where the observer had the APM overlayed. Also I remember reading that there were a bunch you took prior to upload, and Losira and Life were both correct. Whoever posted it also mentioned Rain, is this true? If so even MORE love if that were possible. | ||

I'm confused tbh, Blizzard have screwed with the stat so many times that I'm not really sure what the hell is going on! | ||

Apollo claimed Leenock hit around 1000 once during a roach remax at an MLG if I remember right | ||

Losira's EPM is 240-250+, making him among the fastest Zergs in the world. Basicly this, APM is easily abused and misinterperted. I don't know if he's faster then others like an DRG or not, but what i will say is his movements are the most beautiful to watch for sure. | ||

At least with APM what you see is what you get, it's not just arbitrarily taking things out. | ||

Some people dream for fame and money, I dream of 2s with KangHo. I shall dream forever  I speak to him on twitter every so often. His english (at least in tiny spurts) is pretty good. I suggest this for all your favorite Korean pros, get on twitter and tweet them, short easy to understand english statements. They seem to be very receptive to their english speaking fans and the language barrier seems to make it more exciting. I've tried it with KangHo and Zenio, and both have answered questions, said more than just hello, and been pretty cool guys. | ||

Spamming worker hotkeys early game is pretty useless, but mid-late game cycling of production facilities is suuuuuuper important. We'll never get a real "EPM". NEVER. | ||

If you multiply it with 1.38, I think there are quite some players which average 400+. Losira having games where he averages 500 doesn't seem that unrealistic. | ||

I am not saying that Zerg is an easier race, but i think Terran rewards the fast APM players the most. | ||
