Also you really do not need very high APM even if you are a pro player. Goody plays at a very low apm level (compared to most pros) around 100, Whitera also plays at a rather low apm level where he really does not spam but in times where he really needs to micro and macro he does it efficiently. | ||

I think more significant limitation in speed are mouse accuracy, decision making and multitasking. For mouse accuracy, there's a model known as Fitt's law which describes the tradeoff between speed and accuracy for pointing devices. Basically, the smaller the object you need to select, the more slowly you have to do to do it accurately. With practice, you can certainly improve both speed and accuracy. Decision making relates to how much thinking is done about decisions in games. For good players, most of the deeper thinking is done pre game then the best solution simply executed while in game. For instance, just think about how Idra talks sometimes: if I see A, I respond XYZ, if I see B, I respond DEF. There's little time wasted in-game thinking about decisions. In my experience with real sports, this is something that separates the top athletes from the poorer ones - the ability to stop thinking and just execute automatically. As for multitasking, by this I mean doing something like dealing with two battles at a time while macroing as well. For something like this, you have to switch quickly between multiple sets of actions, which means that each set of actions should be economical and quickly executed. This is how a high APM player should be able to leverage their hand speed to take advantage over a lower APM player. | ||

He knows that it doesn't, that's not what he's trying to explain. By repeating patterns as fast a possible you are training your hand to go to exact places on the keyboard without thinking. By doing this you are helping to condition your hand to 'do its own thing' while you make tactical decisions This is a fundamental part of learning an opening, or having good macro. Your hand simply goes through all your production facilities over and over without you thinking, so you can concentrate on scouting, micro or whatever else is going on. By repeating patterns and doing them faster and faster like the OP is saying, you are increasing the speed at which you perform your cycles of production, allowing more time for other actions This spamming also simply improves the speed of your fingers in general so you can more easily micro, use camera hotkeys faster etcetc He isn't telling you to just have 500 apm at the start of a game so you look 'cool' Speed of action and precision of action, culminating in efficiency of action, the basics of mechanics. Increasing your apm does help you improve parts of your gameplay | ||

Hand speed increases will let you do what you do now faster and more effectively which would make your apm possibly go up just by letting you do what you do now and giving you more time to do what you want to do and arent able to accomplish due to your lower hand speed. also as a note to nail biters try not to bite your nails. When I go for a few days not biting them I find myself more accurate and better able to play when I am not biting my nails but it is a terrible habit that is hard to break >.< | ||
