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.

And they made him a Lord of Cinder. Not for virtue, but for might. Such is a lord, I suppose. But here I ask. Do we have a sodding chance?

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.

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? :p
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!

You upgraded your keyboard before your monitor?
Is this a trick question or a really bad joke?

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 :p?
 

Corran Horn

May the Schwartz be with you
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.
 
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?
