I think you should make a thread to compile all of your APM video's instead of them being scattered around the TL.net forums.

I responded to this about 20 times already but here is once again an exact quote of what I have to say to that topic:

"Someone is more than welcome to have a thread like this. I personally recommend the playlist: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLmHhGKzRGhKQXAK04jH8CwaM8cb9QQSIf

And as to the advertising: unfortunately nobody gives a rat's ass about a single thread that's called "APM Videos of Korean Proplayers" that is updated every few weeks/months in comparison to specific threads about players like Boxer, Flash, Innovation, Losira, Life etc.

Cheers, Khaldor"

surprisingly low apm throughout the entire game.
watching him landing those forcefield with a sudden change in the mouse speed is awesome though

Rain was never the fastest player. He's fast enough and very precise though. Looked solid to me.

i personally don't like that type of style that rain showed this game, where you forgo tech for a long time in order to get a huge gateway tech. i think it's because my years of playing protoss has ingrained in my head that stalkers are terribad.

Well it's not really about the style that he played in the video xD More about his actions regarding Keyboard/Mouse

For me it's an opportunity to see another Rain VOD :D.

First of all, thank you Khaldor for these videos! Keep it up!

There should really be more focus about the physical skills it takes to play this game in esports coverage.

IMO. I find going gateway heavy is a hell lot of more fun and rewarding, and is more micro-oriented. You can't mess up your FF's/blink or you'll get overrun by zerg/mmm, instead of just getting powerful dps units like the colossi.

Khaldor actually has a blessing instead of a curse,each time i saw him filming behind a player this one won.

Also Rain should stream,it seems pretty watchable.

If you want pure highest apm and fastest Protoss probably is Seed and MC. 300+apm

No Kespa players stream. Flash is going to as part of the Twitch deal, but don't expect serious games.

That was very fast and very precise. Which protoss player are you measuring him against?
To be is to be the value of a bound variable.

What is "pure highest apm"? Do you mean effective APM? They obviously do not have 300+ effective APM and I'm not sure why anyone would care about a base APM number. I highly doubt either of those players has higher eAPM than Rain.
