APM: How fast is your god?

APM: Actions per Minute
In the world of RTS’s (Real Time Strategies) this rating is really the discintion between “no go’s” and Pro’s. The idea behind APM is how fast your can draw a picture on the screen of what you are trying to accomplish: victory. Korean Pro’s (the only RTS Pro’s that matter) can average around 300 APM per match. That’s retarded boss fast. You have to see it to understand how fast that actually is. It’s almost like the keyboard is just an extenstion of their hand. It’s almost scary. It’s actually comparable to watching ‘cst cHip’ play CoD:MF2 on 360; just unfare. (xbox live him, kids)
Razer recently released a very interesting documentary on competitive gaming teams. In the film they briefly go over APM and the overhead clips that they show are scary. Take a look: (20:30 mark for the APM demo)
