208 apm is very low? What?

Look, simply put -- Terran macro mechanics are the easiest of the three races, macro decides the majority of games in Master league and below - therefore, unless you're at the tip top, Terran is the easiest to play since it's easier to build more stuff. Protoss is marginally more difficult than Terran due to the Warp Gate mechanic. Zerg is the hardest.

He has gone as low as 5 APM during some event in Korea, according to QXC. It's not an average, everyday event or anything, but he is not always high APM.

Tournament General Rules

• Only people who can obs the game are the casters and the streamer. I want lag issues to be kept to an absolute minimum.
• The map pool is as follows:
  

  [*]MLG Xel'naga Caverns
  [*]MLG Metalopolis
  [*]MLG Typhon Peaks
  [*]MLG Terminus RE
  [*]MLG Shakuras Plateau
  [*]GSL Crevasse
  [*]GSL Taldarim Altar
  [*]GSL Dual Sight
  [*]GSL Belshir Beach

• Each player will veto 1 map from the pool. Both players agree on 1 map to start, loser picks for the others.
• For today only: Matches will be cast/played based on a first-come basis from the NeoGAF chat channel/Mumble. Are you in game? Can you play? You're in. Today is primarily a day to test the stream and for casters to find their feet, so we don't have a strict schedule. Expect anywhere from 2-4 matches to be played.
• Paz, please contact Pankaks and me with a good time for you to play. Same goes for Spl1ter.
• mescalineeyes, sorry for mis-typing your name. Are you still interested in contributing to the prize pool? I seem to recall you saying that you had a contribution that MrMister missed.

I think it is just that he doesn't spam at the start like a lot of people do.

QXC said that this happened after the early game. I think they were having some kind of bet inside FXO about how low he could go.

Lower than every other zerg on that list except for machine. So compared to other zergs, yes. He has low apm.

 

[Awesome Animals]

I was thinking about the Baneling self-destruct gif earlier today. I wants it, I wants it so bad.

 

[Yoshichan]

Building stuff is easy with all three races. There I said it. Deal with it.

This.

[Yoshichan]

My Body Is Ready

Thank you Trickster

edit: and yes, that's a CRT mf'ers!

 

[V_Arnold]

Why would you poison your brain with CRT?
Do not believe for a second that you have good enough senses to notice the difference between an <5ms LCD and a CRT.

 

[jasonng]

Yo Keikaku, check your PM. My matches were sent.

I stopped listening to you once you were about to brainwash me about LAN.

You're not serious about not knowing why I have CRT, are you?

Is that a foxer sign i see?

So even in complete darkness, with shitty lightning and a crappy camera, you managed to see that ._.? I knew I should've just moved it away.

edit: I bet you were using an LCD-screen to see that!

 

[Corran Horn]

Yay Tyler is streaming again.

 

[Corran Horn]

I cant stand neon/led lights. KILL IT

 

[jasonng]

edit: and yes, that's a CRT mf'ers!

That monitor offends me to no end. You upgraded your keyboard before your monitor?

Indeed, I live in the future after all.

 

[Deadman]

I love the overlay he is using.

 

[Void Insanity]

Yoshi should of used his Tardis to bring back a better monitor from the future along with his new keyboard.

 

[Corran Horn]

I love the overlay he is using.

Yep. Im surprised more teams dont make good overlays for their teams with sponsors etc.

 

[Yoshichan]

Is this a trick question or a really bad joke?

 

[Corran Horn]

Hmm Tyler no longer on GM ladder, yoink, added to friend list.

 

[PhoenixDark]

he hasn't for like 2 months

You know him irl?

 

[jasonng]

Not at all, I bought two LCD monitors before I replaced my shit mac keyboard. I don't see how the quality of a keyboard takes priority over the quality of a monitor.

 

[Corran Horn]

Tyler put up his My Little Nony screen and forgot to take it down. TROLLING THE VIEWERS! ;;

 

[Yoshichan]

Not at all, I bought two LCD monitors before I replaced my shit mac keyboard. I don't see how the quality of a keyboard takes priority over the quality of a monitor.

I've probably "upgraded" or "switched" my keyboard over 25+ times while still having the same screen... I've also "switched" my chair probably five times and my mouse 15+ times...

I'm still wondering if this is a trick question or what. Did you forget who you're talking to ?

 

[Holden]

You know him irl?

no, i just know he only plays HoN

he played 1 ladder game 3 weeks ago ;o

 

[Corran Horn]

Shrug. I have a cheap 10 dollar keyboard for the last 3 years, and before that I had another cheap 10~ dollar keyboard that I only broke due to me cleaning it and not waiting to replug.

I cant stand the feel of most keyboards and this is good enough.

 

[Void Insanity]

On the subject of keyboards what is a good one to get? I also have a crappy one that has seen better days (it is stained with Pizza). I replaced my mouse a few months ago and that was one of the best decisions I made in awhile (Razor Blackadder).

Try a mechanical keyboard out and see if you're satisfied.

I wish I had an actual keyboard to use. My laptop's keys don't have that satisfying 'clack' that desktop's have .

I did. I'll never question your logic again because I'll never figure you out.

Speaking of Macs, do you use boot camp and play SC on Windows or OSX?
