Damn, that gave me new respect for Gateway heavy Protoss. Looks fun to play! Maybe that's the style I will play when I switch

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


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


Puzzle is also crazy fast.

To me he looked extremely fast and clean/efficient. I've probably spent thousands of hours watching all the top protoss streams and rain would rank up there as among the fastest. A lot of people may look faster because they're flailing their mouse around or wasting a lot of actions, or aren't as good at using camera hotkeys and frantically scroll around all over the place, but that doesn't mean they're getting more done.

lol he get blink . in any micro test map you see the efficiency of stalkers double when having and microing properly BLINK .
tones of stalkers + sentry(for guardian shield ) is the new meta latelty on KR ladder . is very good vs muta play aswel . like really good .

Another sick video. Can't thank you enough Khaldor. Keep it up.

Which mouse is he using? the mico?

I'm guessing you can't include gear in the description because a lot of these players using gear not from their sponsor? Just wondering.

Another point in my view is that his APM is more on his mouse than keyboard.
People tend to focus os keyboard and think that "machine gun" sound (tatatatatatatatat) = APM.
Im my opinion people should watch again and focus on his mouse. Its beautifull.

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"


khaldor .. i think you can add that youtube link on the next apm video thread that you will post .. it will be much convenient just saying .. great vid BTW !

"New Meta"'
Stalker timings have been the meta ever since Neo Planet S got into the mappool.

They are insanely hard to hold, as they turn whatever defenders advantage you have against you.
I can do anything i want, until otherwise is proven.

I simply don't know which gear they are using most of the time. When I record videos I record as many as I can during the day and kinda lose track to be honest. Usually the comments figure out the hardware specs quite soon after I uploaded the video
