PA's been won, we can all go home now

Just got trounced by Matiz (as expected), but then I saw his APM score after the game. This would be super-high level in Starcraft, for PA I am entirely gobsmacked.

So yeah, Matiz is already better than any mere human could hope to be, so give up now I should.

That display in the score is an ugly hack that tends to be kind of inaccurate. But yeah as a former SC2 pro matiz has a lot of apm to spare for sure.

Give me 2 months

Sweet deal! It's nice to see some high end players using their skills to completely break thoroughly test everything that is good and bad about PA.

Only downside is that in two months you'll be playing about 5 different games.

I think I said this in game matiz, but your strategy is pretty basic and easy to understand, but because you use the one that is the most powerful its hard to beat.

My apm is about half yours. But I know how to win

APM isn't everything. But it's like numbers. They don't decide a battle, but they sure do help.

Seems to be more inaccurate for people that use arrow keys. Could be something with that.

I heard that pro SC2 players click randomly around the screen all the time to keep their attention on the game.

LOL.

We need another 10 min draw XD

you know if you watch some vids created by these "pros" there does seem to be an extremely unnecessary amount of clicking when issuing orders

Forgive my ignorance but what exactly is APM? I see it everywhere but haven't been able to figure out what that means...

Actions Per Minute

Oh ok, yeah. I figured it was something like that. 'preciate it

Funny, I beat that matiz kid yesterday

Havent beat you yet. Then again, I don't understand you yet.

but it's coming.

Also. Once balance is equalized, I think it will be VERY difficult to beat my method - but balance is never perfect.

Is this an APM game now?

I maintain that APM is silly. Every time I watch those videos of the Korean kids with crazy APM, all I see is them issuing about 5x more commands than are necessary. Instead of telling a bunch of units to go HERE, they seem to say HERE HERE HERE HERE HERE HERE HERE. Clicking basically the same spot like 6 times, apparently just to get a higher APM.

Should "smarter faster better" not win for some reason?

The idea of not requiring apm is that it is only smarter and better that wins, and faster has no particular say. The challenge of a strategy game is the strategy, not how fast you can click individual units to implement it.
