Me using rapid fire on movement action to get 8000 APM

Here you go boss. I created a challenge for people just like you. We’re going to let you rapid fire as much as you want but the program will lock you out of your keyboard until your average APM comes back down below the allowed threshold of 1/4 as much APM as you normally have. We will see if you can maintain your original win-rate. Are you ready to start the challenge? Post 30 replays to sc2replaystats so we can establish your current APM and win-rate. I will send you a link to the program which caps your APM. You will need to post the replays so we can verify you ran the program and we can see if your win-rate increased or decreased.

With so many Platinum Protoss, who Patrol these forums, claiming that “APM doesn’t matter” and that “It’s how you use it that matters!” I think it’s time we put this to the test. Thus the “PPP v Reality” series is born.

I hereby challenge every Protoss player on these boards to play 30 games with 1/4 as much APM as they normally use. In fact, I will code a program that will lock you out of your mouse and keyboard if your APM exceeds the allowed threshold and it will keep you locked out until your average APM comes back down. We will need 30 replays to establish your APM. Then we will need your next 30 replays to establish if you actually ran the program, thus capping your APM, and if your win-rate went up or down. If your win-rate goes up or maintains close to the win-rate from your first 30 replays, then you will have beat the challenge: you have shown APM does not matter to you.

How many Protoss players are willing to take on the challenge? Is there a single one that is anything but a fountain of pure nonsense on these forums? Is there is a single one of you out there ready to prove you know what you are talking about? I think deep down every one of you realizes the cold, hard truth -APM is 95 to 99% of the skill in SC2- and will reject this challenge.

How is it that I can be so confident to challenge all of Battle.net? Well, you see, it’s a little thing called reality:
