I have the biggest question on my mind,

"Fake APM boost" - why the need of it?

No doubt the most replays i've seen are from good players, but why the need of fake boosting APM to 200-300 in the beginning of the game? what are they trying to prove?

and what ticked me off the most is that it happens to like 90% of the replays that i've watched, and it's starting to get lame.

er.. what is "Fake APM Boost".. sorry i don know those term in sc2... @@
*
APM = Action per minute which measure how quickly are you performing in a game or how fast are you multitasking. Fake boosting means that they are spamming USELESS action in the beginning of game like spam hotkeying between buildings and unit in the beginning of game where all you can really do is sit around and do almost nothing other than occasional training and scouting. Its annoying because i am trying to gauge a genuine average good player APM against mine and all i get is uberhigh rubbish average APM which means nothing.

You can see this APM from replay.

You want some real apm watch Starcraft broodwar fpvods ! here let me do the dirty job ^^.


Well it seems like a game of spamming units voices and selecting and  reselecting but trust me when the time comes you need to pull your workers away from an air raid be it coming from a muta,banshee or even reapers if you hand's are warm up it will be easy to do such simple but to a person who's not warm up may be doing it in a slow motion which means more lost of their workers unit which definitely a bad thing it slows down your economy due to the lost of your workers and going through this routine pump's you up for the challenge and macro and micro that is essential  in the later or early game .

oh, so it's all about warming up eh? now that's an acceptable reason. at least it makes sense biggrin.gif
