Right now my most biggest problem is Pylon timing ... especially after you have 6+ Gateways.
BlueIris, if I may ask, did you purposely try to make games last long versus the computer? Or did you merely play with all your ability?

I purposely let the game drag on. I had about 3 expos and I continuously tried to maintain such low macro. When I was maxed I sacrificed units or mass expanded to keep my macro low. And yes.. supply depot timing was incredibly difficult for me. However, it is merely making two supplies the moment your scvs finish building, etc. It should be even easier on protoss ^^ @Kwark Sure, lets play a game. Not in order to prove whether apm really counts, but just for fun ^^ I'm sure Fisheye proved that apm doesn't determine the player. I agree, but I think it helps a player with macro and overall speed and control. I'm 'Art.Love' on USWest -- Feel free to Message me sometime ^^ | ||

Someone has said this before me, and I can't remember who, but for me the best way to improve apm was to speed up your mind. Always try to do what you are doing as fast as possible while thinking about what you need to do next. Then do that as fast as possible, and think about the next thing. | ||

another thing, though less viable for most people, is to mass game. mass gaming really really helps, and if you try to play your best/fastest each game like your excercise against a computer you can improve really fast. only problem is finding someone to game with and having the time to do mass games. | ||

i think it can help you practise a little bit micro during this whole "high-macro-low-mineral-count-with-highest-apm" hope that help - i think i have such map - lost temple of course but will do for this practise edit: for example microing things which cost time for protosses - soooo important storm drop,reaver drop any king of harass terrans - vulture mining surrounding enemy units, drops etc zergs - definately mutalisking vs toss and terr i dont train this way actually , i dont train at all - just playing games trying to macro and micro without caring 4 apm gl all | ||

Been a bit hesitant to get online to play since I feel I'd just get stomped with my lowly 90-100 APM, so this has been a great way to practice a bit and build some confidence before looking for practice partners. | ||

Personally, I can see a tremendous amount of improvement in my game, when my APM was increased from like 125 to 225. | ||
