try use a non-cheese build n see how much apm u can go
usually tat way is more accurate because your apm also consist of commanding armies n building them

Everyone can swing a hammer, but not all of those can build a house.

Average around 50 APM only and already played 700+ games now. How can I improve?

bah, non-cheese builds gives me too much adrenaline.
my body cannot tahan.

cheesing is the way yo!


heck, some fights, i even told them upfront i am doing cannon rush and tell them to defend themselves.
most of the time i get my rear end handed to me when i do that but sometimes still win also.

why la u guys worry so much abt apm. as long as u macro/micro very well in the game. ull do very good. and ur apm will increase steadily as u learn more abt the game.

play more = learn more = do more stuffs = apm increases.

well apm are overrated...
u can see some pros have low average apm as they used the waypoints etc rather than pressing unneededly...
during battles u can see their current apm spike up to 300...

as u naturally get better in the game, ur apm would increase itself naturally...
rather than trying to force it...

I still dont understand how the hell they get 180 apm when they are having 9 food = ="

my average APM only 30-50 lol..

and said pros have over 100 apm as i've said.

*continues makan pisang*

Very easy, spam action keys only

300+ APM really spam for me...
I think around 200 or so should be enough for pro gaming...

For myself, i onyl doing around 30 apm lolzzz!
I think its sufficient, for my level, my friends were doing 100 plus minus but still i was able to beat him 1 on 1...
APM is not everything

isnt it m?

APM not so important , pls dont stress too much on apm. Strategy more important o,o , how ever it is VERY important at PRO level . Especially if u play SC BW in ICCUP then u noe , u need apm more then 100 to even survive thru low level D ranks . Anyhow i know many msians dont play Brood War cuz they say graphics sux , even my frens say so. But one thing they duno tat sc BW is so hard and meantime exciting play too.

When i am casually playing my apm is 70-90. When I am at my best is 120-140. I use all the hotkeys on my shitty AVF keyboard

Those with low APM... not enuff balance between macro and micro

APM is the product, not the motive, of one's starcraft training/playing.

Apm 150-200, played since sc1

If u guys played wc, u may know this pro elf nicked APM70. He always maintain his apm at around 70 and yet he was among the best player in the world back then.

So AMP doesn't really matter... just click whenever it is necessary.
