I've been playing the computer a lot lately. Not because it poses a challenge even when playing against the Entropy mod, but because it provides a willing opponent to practice against.
I practice my APM and multitasking skills. I practice different build orders. How to follow them and how to counter them. I practice timing of when different units are available under different build orders. Its all rather tedious and yet necessary.
I hate the focus on APM, but it is a measurement of how much you do. Regardless of whether it makes sense. I so desperately want my APM to be above 85. I wonder why it is so difficult?
I like to see improvement :-)
ReplyDeleteLove your blog. I'm in same situation in Stc, used to be good macro player about 6 years ago. I've returned just to find I suck. It's really hard to learn everything once more form te beginning ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks Jacek. Those are kind words. And yes it is hard to learn everything again.
ReplyDeleteErr...I know you suck, but I suck harder.. whats APM ? :)
ReplyDeleteJust downloaded Dawn of War 2 multiplayer beta today and tried it. Lets just say it shouldnt be a contender for SC2...
APM is Actions Per Minute. I.e. how many orders, selections and hotkey presses you do in one minute of time.
