They might use real seconds instead of blizzard time, but even then that number is higher than it should be.

^ Probably has something to do with real seconds instead of Blizzard seconds. But yeah, even then it looks like it might be a little buggy. Wouldn't be the first time Blizzard made something awkward and buggy.....

You might want to report this as a glitch on the BNet forums. Even if it is just using real seconds, that's not the way it should be.

I'm more curious about Supply Efficiency, because it seems that SQ is made invalid unless you view the income tab in the replay.

Perhaps it is max APM? But then again, early-game spamming might raise the APM to be higher than that value.

They probably count every key pressed in real time, not every usefull command in blizzard time

I doubt it's peak APM, either, because I only ever see between 230-250 in the performance tab, but in replays I regularly spike over 300. Dunno what's going on here, really.

it could be in real minuets or just a glitch but it makes player feel better

I think what you're seeing is the sum of your actions for the whole game .

It could be a couple things....in order of most likely...
a. A glitch...
b. New calcuations...
c. Real time...

Its the real APM calculation. Remember sc2 time is 1.38x as fast as real time. So if you have 100 sc2 apm you have 138 real apm.

There was also a patch a while back where apm stopped counting selecting units like spamming 123412341234. It only counted actual actions.

So this apm at the end of game is very useful, its actual apm litterally what u do ingame.
Don't forget to get everyone you know to play HOTS so this game we love called Starcraft will live on. Every little bit helps. ^^
