  • HOW ABOUT SHOWING YOUR ARMS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

  • This video pretty much represents how stupid people are. For clarity: I agree with this video, people spamming APM, especially the pros, are just stupid and are actually pointlessly increasing the strain on their hands and fingers leading to a life with carpal tunnel. Honestly, watch a replay of one of the pros. They do this, but not only do they do it in the beginning, but during a (for example) terran bio-ball, they click the target 600 times for apm. People are pathetic. No help.

  • @NegaSyrus5000 You're an idiot rofl. Most pros have 85-90%++ EAPM, meaning 90% of their clicks are actually doing something. And no, it's not pointless. If you try going from 10 apm and jumping to 300 your hands are not going to react as accurately.

    Besides, any decent pro is going to have to be able to maintain around that APM for up to an hour, so I doubt 30 seconds of extra spam is going to cause too much extra strain.

  • I still scroll with my mouse

  • Holding down any hotkey in older versions of starcraft2 meant 500+ apm. nice try

  • If you know how to use your APM the right way it makes you much better!

  • Apm makes me play better!

  • You know it's time to stop when you're wasting 95% of your energy to mash on keyboard while only making probes

  • Wow 500 apm to build probes !

  • it's spamming. :)) this was around the earlier patches before they removed that.. :))

  • nice vs expert cpu :D

  • fake

    

  • Lol idiot

    

  • He must have been rolling his head back and forth over the keyboard.

  • Wow! 1500 APM! But that was useless since he had nothing but a few probes! 30 APM could do the same thing!

  • 2 bad u forgot 2 make a pylon at 9th probe... gj pro apm :))))

  • Was he jumping on the keyboard?

  • Fake.

  • Now give this guy a piano.

  • epic discription

  • lol just clicking the mouse over and over isnt a great decision, once u learn hotkeys and control groups your apm will get higher and u will make less mistakes but just spamming mouseclick our other actions is kinda pointless imo unless it actually makes your build faster.

  • @RoachCraft2HD I agree. Although it must be noted, that spamming the APM in the start of the game is important - makes it easier to get hold of the game towards the late mid- and late-stages.

  • ITS OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • hold a key for a minute, u'll see, what a senseless stuff :D

  • you can spam 300 apm in the start.... i want to see that in late games

  • @TheYoungik watch korean replays highest i have seen was about 800....late game

  • @beefymcmanst1c i am korean thats why i am saying this

  • god damn it wheres my rick role lol half way through i started expecting my god damn rick roll and just like this video i was disappointed

  • Insane AI?

  • haha...to get high apm u can contorl evry worker seperatly also^^

  • lame.

    

  • every idiot can do that

  • Here's the thing. Spamming APM in the early game is to warm up fingers. During mid game to end game, you need to be able to multitask well, switching from one battle to another while producing units is important. higher APM in the mid game means faster multitasking, meaning you get the speed advantage.

  • well the thing is, you're not even perfectly saturating your minerals. your nexus is rallied to the far right mineral patch but you're not pairing your probes. i have a higher apm than you. i am better at starcraft than you.

  • your an idiot yes apm does make you play better. artificial apm obviously does not

  • @Dbelenit artificial apm.....artificial means man-made. is there a nature-made apm? lawl

  • @kiburmpee ar·ti·fi·cial adjective 1. made by human skill; produced by humans (opposed to natural): artificial flowers. 2. imitation; simulated; sham: artificial vanilla flavoring. 3. lacking naturalness or spontaneity; forced; contrived; feigned: an artificial smile. 4. full of affectation; affected; stilted: artificial manners;artificial speech. 5. made without regard to the particular needs of a situation, person, etc.; imposed arbitrarily; unnatural: artificial rules for dormitory residents
  • i think that's the average apm in korea lol

  • my apm is over 9000!

  • Thorzain got like 14k @TL attack

  • @Leischna, actually, SC2 already tries to countonly the effective APM, so it's lower than the APM measured by Replay analyzers or in SC1. But you couldn't code a tool as you describe there.

  • and he forgot his first pylon

  • what the fuck....

  • i mean it's nice that people who think they should upload a vid of themselfes just hacking their keyboard to tiny pieces and professional players have sick apm but i would like to see a tool or sth that counts the effective apm which would only count 1 action for every order that is given several times and that skips the whole apm spamming because if you reduce 400 or more apm to effective apm even a professional wouldn't get much higher than 200 or 250 even in critical situations i guess

  • he is just spamming, in ths phase of the game, there is nothing you can do with 300gpm +

  • Can't be a very good concert pianist... I have hit the 2k mark with my spam and I am no where near a concert pianist...

  • Anyone can spam keys while building probes. Useless key spam. Lets see his APM during a three base macro and a prong micro battle. Probably only 60. GG.

  • nub

  • ok idk if its a spam cause i do that and its a trick when you press the hot key but hold it slightly on my laptop and its like im pressing the button very fast but in reality im just holding it slightly downwards :P also allows me to get probes the milasecond its ready to make-em..

  • @purecpu Im pretty sure that doesn't count into apm, i think it still only is 1 Action.

  • 312312312312312312312312312313­131231231231231231241234123423­423412412341241234123412341234­123412321421341234123423413412­412341341234123412414241234

    WTF STILL NOT GRANDMASTERS?

  • stop tapping 1234...

  • INSTANT CARPAL TUNNEL SYNDROME FTW

  • @MegaLol555 poor TLO :(

  • 123124213141221242112321412412­312412421321421313214214123212­14413.

    Im so pro.

  • apm from a cpu or what?

  • REALLY!?!?!?!?!? WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO USE AN APM OF 1524 BEFORE THE 1 MINUTE MARK IN ANY GAME?!?!?!?!?!

  • @GRUNTS2009 it takes insane apm to mine minerals.

  • of course in the earlier points of the game your apm is obviously going to be lower, (using APM to mean actions per minute that are useful.) but it can still be upwards of 60+ while still having use, try actually micro'ing your workers and perfecting the ammount of resources you can collect by having no harvesters standing at a node waiting when you only have 6 workers.

    it might get one more worker out. if you dont think this is good do into a random game and let a worker mine for 1 min.

  • @lordsmashrulz LOL. that worker trick doesnt work anymore it got patched a hella while ago, i still use it for APM practice though.

  • @ItalianGanksta actually if you just rally to one side of the minerals all the drones go there, and 3 will stack up on one node before they move to the next node, UNLESS a node is COMPLETELY unnocupied. this is what im talking about

  • the apm of your opponent says that u are in the bronze league dude

  • This is the ai. He sent a probe over to distract them. Thats why he blacked out the map, and set the view on his own base

  • APM doesn't count if you're not actually doing anything.

  • @1stTier True

  • everyone over 200 apm spam cant see the reason thumbs up if u agree

  • everyone over 200 apm spam cant see the reason to spam tbh :S

  • I so totally agree with the video. I myself dont spam at all. I have heard however, that good players us it as a way of warming up for the later stages of the game. And if so, then I totally see the point of spamming.

  • apm= assholes per minute

  • I can't tell what was happening at all. I don't play Starcraft and it feels like I've stepped into a different culture and am completely lost.

  • @DarthTomale Just play it and practice, its quite easy. It comes down to basic concepts. The two most basics concepts are Macro and Micro. Macro is how one spends their resouces, how many structures they can support, and the general concept of "building shit." Micro is how you move your units and use their abilities in order to gain an upper hand in a battle. Other than that, its mostly which buildings build what, which units counter what, and if you can take control when an opertunity comes up.

  • Concert pianist?! Don't screw up your wrists playing Starcraft!

  • @srb8522

    How would playing Starcraft screw up the wrists?

  • @Morenumbers123456789 Very similar to typing too much. In fact one of the type Starcraft II players recently quit because of carpal tunnel. I believe his tag is "TheLittleOne" or "TLO."

  • @srb8522

    Wow, didn't know that. But what is your source of this? I've been at my computer since a very low age(and I type fast, maybe not as fast as these korean SC players, but still), I play guitar and I'm very good at it, and I don't seem to have any wrist problems.

  • @srb8522 that gotta be pretty recent :)

  • @srb8522 yep you are right, its LiquidTLO, which stands for the little one.

  • @srb8522 It would screw your wrists the same as playing Piano would.

  • @CraigBray My point was that being a professional pianist was most likely more important than playing a computer game. Maybe that's just me.

  • @srb8522 As a Pianist myself, I prefer to save my left hand so I can play massive bass pieces from composers like Rachmaninoff... Not suffer from... Arthritis.

  • spamming for apm does nothing for the player. You can spam 1000apm and have only 10 eapm. I spam in the beginning of games (making boxes etc) to start to focus my hands, trying to only select only a certain number of probes, making small clean boxes, getting my eyes used to looking at the wire-frame when I keep changing between selected buildings and units. Apm is only good if you know how to use it.

  • I have a 300 apm and I am in gold league

    Sucks

  • He was masturbating. Of course that doesn't make you play better.

  • He was masturbating.

  • well these is a game vs A.I. so u have fooled alot of ppl... and some1 sayed that apm is a box. if u have a big box and nothing to put in it it's useless,but if u have a small box with stuff that does not fit in it the rest is lost.

    so apm helps but if u dont have the skill apm is just 4 showing off

  • well these is vs a A.I. so... it's stupid that u say it's some1 but its funny that u have fooled some ppl

  • Making your probe harvest in early stages of the game does need 500 apm indeed

  • Lol, I'm pretty sure that half of the people who have commented didn't realize that he was simply showing off a high number for lulz. He even said that high APM means shit in his video.

  • my apm is like 60

  • Comment removed

  • the point is that u have supply blocked ur self while spaming that much u cant play and spam :P what a failure :) i guess ur average apm can be around 50 in game

  • i dont care what an insane computers apm is.

  • Good, u show us that u can select all your probs and press "C"...

    CLAP CLAP CLAP!

  • I didn't try this in sc2, but in broodwar you got apm if you hold a hotkey. Of course, you would be losing a lot of time, but at the begining i think you can do that to try to impress your friends xD at least here if you have an apm counter live in the first 3 minutes.

  • APM totally does help imo... gets your brain working faster and trains you to multitask even more. So easy to see people's macro/micro slip but with high apm you tend to do better. The reason for the apm spam during the first few minutes of the game is to warm you up :P

  • people spam apm to compensate for their small dicks

  • @Razellll or to warm up there hands like pro gammers

  • @blacksuntgl I sit on mine... O.o

  • @Razellll more like you just suck

  • @Razellll Someone obviously isn't good at video games,and gets beat by high apm players

  • 1200 O M G!

  • apm dosnt count for shit, i usually have between 15 and 30 and im in platinum

    i will admit that i havent played played much in a while tho

  • @asilverplatypus trust me to be even a decent player at starcraft you need atleast 50 apm, to be in masters league around 100 apm and grand masters around 150 apm

  • @Mrvoodoochild1 to win tourniments you need to have around 250 apm. Well most pros have that

  • fake

  • seriously, i dont see the point of spamming APM when the game just started. What is there to spam other than waiting for probes to produce? ._.

  • @kohho24890 It's just better to spam, it makes sure you're on time and maybe even saves a split second. On the other hand, you could be wasting energy and focus on it. It's really a matter of preference, but there's always something to be done and you have to really utilize your finger skills constantly to improve your overall apm throughout the game.

  • This is stupid

  • iT WAS WHEN YOU COULD HOLD DOWN 2 KEYS AND DO MOVEMENT TO GET OVER 1K APM. Fix'd now, they wernt doing anything cool.

  • Dude guys. This was made from the APM bug, where it was possible to get 10k APM even for an amateur

  • Apm is actually very important in games like sc2 the point is that all that apm should be productive apm. If you just randomly spam keys and get 1k apm it's not any better than someone playing 100 apm and using that apm to control troops, macro up, keep building scvs ect... But don't underestimate high apm play. The point of all rts games is to have constant and excellent control over all your troops and buildings and if you don't perform enough actions per minute you just don't have that.

  • My average APM is 74. but I don't spam click because it doesn't make you any better.

  • if youre not korean, you cant get a high apm

  • i'm just at 64 ,couldn't boost up , instant apm could be at 3xx when the situation is tense, but theres no meaning to have that much throughout the whole game

  • Lol epic missclick

  • You dont need 120 apm to be good.

    I have about 30-40 apm and im diamond.

    Just be efficient with your actions.

  • @imnotbad9 I kinda doubt that. Micro/macro in diamond level should at least be at 90 APM.

  • @pkfighter343 if its past 50, its not a big deal. Maybe in the late game past 90.

  • @cowsarecarnivores Exactly my point, most games that go up to any sort of macro game should be at least 90, preferably more if you micro at all.

  • @imnotbad9 with 120 you can be as good as whitera

  • @imnotbad9 how is playing toss btw?

  • @ZER0Absolute Cool story my delinquent ball sucking bro..... but are you mad son?

  • @TheEthug yeah owned

  • @ZER0Absolute

    Quote from ZER0Absolute "you sound like an asshole of a bogan with that annoying "u mad bro?" End quote

    From the very same comment i will quote you once more:

    Quote from ZER0Absolute "Cool story bro." annnnd end quote.........................­............................. LOL :D

  • @ZER0Absolute FYI:

    Delinquent:

    A person who commits a misdemeanor

    A person who commits a felony

    A young person (under 18) who fails to do that which is required by law.

    Did i do the googles well like you said? Because you being 6 years older than the "10 y/o" you claim me to be would make you 16 (i'm really good at math) which would also put you in the category of being a "delinquent" sonny boy.... My balls...your mouth nuff said (btw i mean the term enough said as in: I think i made my point)

  • @ZER0Absolute And here i am thinking you had said "nuff"..... TROLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

    get trolled son.

  • Haha! WOOT THE FOOK? I tried apm spam once... got to 120... :( I fail.

  • @ZER0Absolute What does arrogant mean? you just made that word up LOL! the sad part is when i dip my balls into your mouth, you used tongue without me even asking, dont be mad bro....

  • @ZER0Absolute My balls your mouth.... you mad bro?

  • the idea is to warm your hand and fingers when the game starts so you hotkey your nexus and probes and just play with the hotkeys so you warm up for the late game :)

  • Pff, i can probably beat every ones APM around the world! ...But I don't know how effective it is to just randomly roll my face/fingers/toes etc. over the keyboard...

  • all over 600 useless

  • Fuck you're really using the big boy words now ey? cunt? wow u mad bro? platinum hero with 160 apm and you're a spammer rofl fucken scrub, im masters bro with an average of 100 apm, without spamming, so yeah get owned faggot, spamming early on is only used to increase your average apm, spam selecting drones or binding your buildings and constantly switching between them has no effect on mid late game lol, break platinum and then we will talk you lowbie shitcunt.

  • @TheEthug Calm down.

  • @osufitchi did you see the ranting fuckface i was replying too, calmly place my balls in your mouth and mind your fucken business

  • @TheEthug wow.....you're pretty homosexual

  • @awsomeking5 Ill fuck you in the bum if i ever see you oot and aboot matthew.

  • @TheEthug wow so you're a faggot who stalks my profile to find my name.....fuck off

  • @awsomeking5 rofl stalk your profile hahaha i clicked your name fuckwit to see what kind of downy was calling me a homosexual.... the very same person that has like 10 videos dedicated to his sausage dog ROFL!! I think someone is a bit of a homophobe.... did daddy touch you when you were young :(

  • I used a tool to press buttons as fast as possible. Got it up to 10k APM then Starcraft crashed xD!

  • Hero and July maxes at 800 apm in SC1 some times. O_O;; that is too fast

  • well i think 50-100 apm are the good average for the first 3 -5 minutes, in fights 200-300 apm are not unusual, but everything above that can be seen as spam, if its really not an epic macro dude :P

  • I would rather build high APM slowly then to randomly spam. Spamming distracts me when I play I prefer making all my actions count and building up the momentum. (Yes I know this person doesn't actually play like that normally.)

  • he even says he is spamming, what is with all the stupid hate?

  • Hahaha, this is great. I doubt you even got 1k apm with normal spam. Just select all your workers at the start and hold C and you'll get 1k apm easy.

  • pfff ke fome 

  • Oh I can press 12414123123115151 and 1000 apm, apm does matter in mid to late game early game not so much.

  • @mypenisgetsmushy you will not get 1000 apm from spamming the number keys bro. try it. i do that and box in beginning of games and it only goes to about 120 or so. but i am not really trying to go as fast as possible just staying warm, happy feet sorta thing you know? later in games when i'm actually microing i can get up to about 180 which isn't even very fast compared to pros.

  • Comment removed

  • @TheBiophage I was talking about average people not pro gamers.. See Nada as an average apm of 300 but he's a pro gamer... That theory doesn't apply to pro gamers...

  • Apm is a good thing it's like warming up... But there's two sort of Apm.. The first one is very useful and is around 50 up to 200. The second Apm is with a lot of spamming ( clicking on everything without doing much...

  • my friend has a 10 apm andhas won 1 game in bronze...

  • I spam inbetween my first pylon and gateway. nothing to do other than chrono, which iusually save for warpgate anyway. does put you into a momentum to be faster the rest of the game. man a lot of types

  • Usually when people spam they are doing it to warm up their hands. I know that it gets my hands going faster for the rest of the game if I spam in the first 2-3 minutes.

    But whatever works for you works for you.

  • meh i dont believe tht i want to see FPVOD

  • pro tip for apm spam!

    1. select all your workers.

    2. hold down c (collect resources)

    3. enjoy 600 apm

  • thats jst an insane ai

  • bind every probe on your keyboard.. voila

  • XD weeeel done. I want to see if I can beat that, as a concert violinist. Hooray for idiotic wastes of time.

  • High APM isn't always spam, I average70-80 and withoust spamming (maybe mouse click spamming...) it can easily peak it 200/300 withoutkey board mashing.

  • Whitera's is only 100 or so, you dont need high apm to be good, tbh, its just spam anyway

  • it is just breaking mouse

  • Bind each prob to an hotkey and just klick and the hotkeys as fast as you can will bring you up to 1k-1.5k apm, its not hard.

  • your average apm is low...

  • Great video, I don't like how people rate it "thumbs down". This is a good video.

  • I think I am good enough to own u :P

    Fisheye made 2nd place @ wcg with 130 apm.

    When u check replays from the old times, before any replay analyser tools existed in bw, all people were so low on apm - nobody had more than 200, most good player around 150.

    After the "discovery" of the measurand "apm", people began to spam and doubled their apm because they are as stupid as u re....

    /end

  • @andrejtippner

    Do you mind telling us which WCG this is and then analyze how much more APM professional strategies require to utilize in the current BW scene compared to when this WCG took place?

    Also, are you suggesting people like Baby, Flash, and many other Starcraft players play with 400+ APM in multiple games in a row (While their wrists are hurting) to look cooler, rather than to maximize their play?

  • @SadegoGG this is starcraft 2

  • @Don612Juan

    Your post is so unspecific, horribly written, and pointless to this discussion that I don't even know which one of my comments you are replying to.

  • I'm at 2600 master and i tell u guys: apm means nothing. So many games with better
