@VeangenceUser I don't have crazy micro like this in Starcraft, but as a metal guitarist I can definitely say that the dexterity goes a long way in pleasuring women.
boxer won cause his sudden economic advantage (3 expos at once??) gained him an edge in tanks allowing him to just steamroll midas straight back into his base.
man they are just acting PRO :D they ae REALY unneeded...i am playing SC pritty well with the terrans and i dont moove so much and i am still wining non stop...they are just acting PRO...
keep on making scv make depot then keep on making until you make a barracks keep on making 1 marine then make gas station and try make a battle cruisor
The "unneeded" movements are to keep your hands warmed up and ready for when the game progresses and requires you to play faster and control more units. Go google Micro. -.-
@Zonde32 Yea I have seen people with 100APM out-micro people with like 200+ APM. Honestly it comes down to unit composition and quantity which plays the biggest factor in a fight, but micro is crucial to secure victory.

these corean freaks always pick faction?? there are no Pro Random players?? i mean there are only 3 races.. and random gives you great advantage if you know what is your enemy
takes them TWO minutes to scout with your worker to find out and your advantage is gone.
plus they don't use customized keyboard, trying to master all three hot keys while knowing all special attributes and can manipulate combination skills perfectly is impossible at their gaming level.
please learn some more before pretend knowing these things.
uhh technically Corea is the correct spelling in alphabet it was used in Olympics and everywhere until Japan occupied Corea for 36 yeras or so and they didnt want corea (a colony of theirs at the time) to march out before them...so they change it to Korea. and then..it became more prevalent so I guess we decided to stick with K. But nothing wrong with spelling with C. so dont place random blame on a guy from Argentina who didnt know?
On ur first comment was it necessary to call Corean freaks?
That's wrong. Both spellings (with a "K" and with a "C") were both used and created by the Europeans prior to Japan's having any influence over how European countries might interact with Korea. European people designed their own spelling of the name of each East Asian country so that the spelling would be less obtrusive in their native language. Japan for example is written like "Japon" in French and "Giappone" in Italian. Besides, Japanese people don't call Korea, Korea or Corea...
@Yamasakiray1 it was named Korea with K because it comes after J in the alphabet... so that Japan comes first in an alphabetical order... that's what a korean friend told me.
@wooboy11 Well, since I have no definite proof that I am right and you are wrong, I won't argue against that, but think of it this way. Some Korean/Corean people dislike Japanese people, or Japan as a nation, therefore, I think that they would over exaggerate and say bad things about Japan on purpose. Nations tend to change history so it makes them seem good and others bad.For example, to Japanese people, events such as the Rape of Nanking never happened even though it obviously did. Understand?
Let me put it his way mate, I'm a D- level player in Iccup. When I go to lans, people are amazed by my skill at starcraft. Every level you go up in Iccup takes infinate amounts more of skill. A+ Iccup players are not good enough to go pro like these guys are. Starcraft is the most difficult game to master.
@extracheez1 agree , from d- d+ , many people see it as so MINOR, wrong! worst, U may even take 3-4 months to even climb up that MINOR rank in ICCUP, why? bcuz its HARD
it's shift-click dude. Sucks that most people don't know about it.
Shift-clicking is one of the main things that pros do to move their game faster. What happens when you shift-click is that as soon as a unit is done doing something, it instantly starts doing whatever the next thing you told it to do is without you commanding it to. It's really useful.
Chester, in the beginning Boxer apm-spammed to get his hands warmed up for late game (if they get too cold they get stiff), and in the end he did it because he had to - controlling an entire base plus moving around units requires fast mouse speed.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Boxer waited until the scv finished building and immediately sent him to mine... what's so wrong? If you see the beginnings of pro starcraft, no drones are spawned for a second before they are moved.
you can see his APM is much clower than before.... due to lack of finger exercise i think ( air force gets the best out of him). one thing hasnt faded from him- thats his brilliant use of units. good use of units > higher APMs. hes fiunishing his time in the air force so we should see a lot more of the good old boxer when he gets full steam ahead
I can't believe people are shocked Boxer uses directional buttons to move the screen...that's what you should be doing! "Moving" it by making it slide with a mouse is way too sensitive to accurately land on the spot you wanted, not to mention keyboard moving will allow a free mouse movement.
Focus on the SCV that is building the supply depot. As I watched, I see him click the scv and click the supply depot several times. However after the supply is done, how did the SCV know what do after? ** Did he press build supply depot, shift right click mineral?

I go wraiths a lot, they own, own dropships, own overlords, and plus, they have teh cloaking ability, eliminate, all ur opponenents detector stuff, and boom ur wraiths can own ur opponent's army
if you spend the econ on wraiths alone, you might as well gg yourself as soon as the first one pops out. goliaths, scourges, and goons all rape through them. wraiths really are only dangerous in the harass phase, or as a surprise late game. their cloaking ability really does lose its advantage as soon as the opponent has a scanner/obs up. why spend the money on wraiths when there are much better options?
Wraiths' instant attack, with just one damage short of mutas, shouldn't be underestimated. The bigger the forces are, the bigger the advantage for instant attacks. Mass mass wraiths with some tank to cover can work really well TvT actually.
anyone can have a high apm all you have to do is spam. hotkey CC Nexus or Hatch to 1 and hold in the num 1 your apm goes to like 099 in 10 sec they do all the spamming so there hands stay warm when micro is needed and to keep reaction time up
not really. they have small damage vs tech units. easily get scanned too. even pros only make 1 or 2 in the beginning and mass in the late game if the opponent mass cruisers. if you can micro it like mutas or corsairs, it will be useful. valkyrie already sucks because of bugs. can't shoot if the map is almost max.
i still havent seen anyone win with wraiths. they compress so its very easy to get killed by mutas or corsairs. zerg can send all overlords with queens to kill it, toss can use detectors, terrans can scan. so pretty much useless unless they are fighting in space.
Boxer isn't the fastest when it comes to APM believe me. NaDa is much faster, but again, Nazgul a few years ago had one of the slowest APMs for protoss and he won matches just fine. So it's all about play style.
SC is my favorite PC game of all time and the best in it's genre. However, I would hope that SC2 will emphasize APM less and implement some new control systems so that it's possible to control your army well without having to practice 10 hours a day improving APM. I hate people bragging about APM, it just seems sad to me -- it's like Michael Jordan bragging about his heart rate.
Just like any other game, you have to practice to get better. Obviously if they made it easy for you to control your units and everything was automated, what's the point? Games like SC need skill for that same reason. APM is just a factor in that skill. There's also reflexes for micro, strategy for macro and a lot of mental strategy when facing different opponents.
If there is one thing I have against SC it's the emphasis on REAL TIME not STRATEGY. A true general should not have to micromanage every single individual troop in a good strategy game, real-time or otherwise. I've noticed that Asian gamers like the Koreans and Japanese are more attracted to what I like to call "magic hands" type skill activities. I'm far more interested in "magic plans." Field commanders in real wars don't win battles with actions per minute!
And if this were a real battle that might make sense. But it's a game. So you play by the rules and mechanics of the game, which dictate that micro is crucial to success. No one's forcing you to play SC
SC is strategy-intensive too. I'd say 40% micro 40% macro and 20% strategy. If you totally miss your opponents strategy and play into his hands then no matter how amazing macro-micro you are, it's gg for you. Besides, it's a video game that's meant to entertain the masses, not train army generals.
The constant APM is so that he'll maintain his super speed when micro will be needed... high APM is in progamers of all types of RTSs, like Age of Empires and Warcraft 3 too...
yes and also cut the delay time of the scv popping out and gathering. Time is gold in this stage. also its a warm up for the later periods. Idle hands have less and i mean less micro effectivity.
people shouldn't be allowed to go so insane as to click more than two hundred times per minute in a computer game. and to think, that person probably has already made more money than I'll ever make in a whole lifetime, just playing a game that my father calls "stupid".
it's not hurting you is it? =) ya, so they make a lot of money. you want to make lots too? why don't you go try your luck in Korea playing starcraft then..? XD
omg omg omg omg, this is insane, i agree that boxer made skt1 into a terran training machine, look at midas's vulture micro at wcg 2006 lol, i like the way he call it "the boxer factor",that's awesome
SKT1 is boxers team that participates in progames and is sponsored by a telecom company (if im right). Boxer Factor is the term people use to refer to the unpredictability of the events in starcraft. its just like saying the ball is round in basketball. It referred to boxer though due to his unpredictability ( and insanity i should say) in playing SC
not to downplay boxer, he is amazing, but when you clik a point to lay mines with multiple vults, they from a circle around that point and lay the mines apart
dude every time I see one of your comments its "thats bad, thats ez, he should have done this, he should have done that" let me tell you something, nothing is easy when you play against progamers, the 'vulture part' was NOT easy, it was pure micro ownage and very few people can do things like that.
yeah if you could easily do that you'd never lose a Terran game, and if it was so easy to do Boxer would have done it every game and never lose, you're full of it... you wouldn't have made it work even 1 time out of 100,00 tries against Midas

I hate people bragging about APM, it just seems sad to me -- it's like Michael Jordan bragging about his heart rate.

Just like any other game, you have to practice to get better. Obviously if they made it easy for you to control your units and everything was automated, what's the point? Games like SC need skill for that same reason. APM is just a factor in that skill. There's also reflexes for micro, strategy for macro and a lot of mental strategy when facing different opponents.

If there is one thing I have against SC it's the emphasis on REAL TIME not STRATEGY. A true general should not have to micromanage every single individual troop in a good strategy game, real-time or otherwise. I've noticed that Asian gamers like the Koreans and Japanese are more attracted to what I like to call "magic hands" type skill activities. I'm far more interested in "magic plans." Field commanders in real wars don't win battles with actions per minute!

I'd say what make Starcraft exciting is the combination of micro and macro. It's hard to win a game without both.
At any rate, Starcraft is a game, not a battle simulation.

And if this were a real battle that might make sense. But it's a game. So you play by the rules and mechanics of the game, which dictate that micro is crucial to success. No one's forcing you to play SC

It's a game. Get that one into your head, or don't bother with starcraft.

SC is strategy-intensive too. I'd say 40% micro 40% macro and 20% strategy. If you totally miss your opponents strategy and play into his hands then no matter how amazing macro-micro you are, it's gg for you. Besides, it's a video game that's meant to entertain the masses, not train army generals.

A real genius caliber commander such as Sun-Tzu wouldn't be fighting in the first place :].

The constant APM is so that he'll maintain his super speed when micro will be needed... high APM is in progamers of all types of RTSs, like Age of Empires and Warcraft 3 too...

Actions per minute.
The more apm, the better it looks on you.

Nope, that's wrong. his doing that to warm up his hands
kmcjin0 4 years ago 3
yes and also cut the delay time of the scv popping out and gathering. Time is gold in this stage. also its a warm up for the later periods. Idle hands have less and i mean less micro effectivity.

people shouldn't be allowed to go so insane as to click more than two hundred times per minute in a computer game. and to think, that person probably has already made more money than I'll ever make in a whole lifetime, just playing a game that my father calls "stupid".

omg omg omg omg, this is insane, i agree that boxer made skt1 into a terran training machine, look at midas's vulture micro at wcg 2006 lol, i like the way he call it "the boxer factor",that's awesome

skt1 sktelecomt1 i think

SKT1 is boxers team that participates in progames and is sponsored by a telecom company (if im right). Boxer Factor is the term people use to refer to the unpredictability of the events in starcraft. its just like saying the ball is round in basketball. It referred to boxer though due to his unpredictability ( and insanity i should say) in playing SC

Boxers micro is insane, if we take his micro skill and combine it with oov macro skill then we might have yet the ultimate terran player.

not to downplay boxer, he is amazing, but when you clik a point to lay mines with multiple vults, they from a circle around that point and lay the mines apart

vulture part was easy, it was Midas fault, never let vulture go into your base.
gunmenow 5 years ago
dude every time I see one of your comments its "thats bad, thats ez, he should have done this, he should have done that" let me tell you something, nothing is easy when you play against progamers, the 'vulture part' was NOT easy, it was pure micro ownage and very few people can do things like that.
Jon747 5 years ago 2
You know what, I can easily do it, so i said vulture part should be a basic requirement
gunmenow 5 years ago
yeah if you could easily do that you'd never lose a Terran game, and if it was so easy to do Boxer would have done it every game and never lose, you're full of it... you wouldn't have made it work even 1 time out of 100,00 tries against Midas
