I was just wondering what the highest apm you've ever seen is.
I just played a 3v3 BGH game and one of my opponents had a peak of 1656 (!!) according to BWCharts. |

| Sounds like your opponent hacked. I know Julyzerg once spiked 800~ in a televised game. |

| He was probably hacking to attain a spike like that or just holding down a hotkey. |

That's not a hack, that's just someone holding down ctrl + # for awhile. BW chart reads it as many actions being repeated over and over.
peak APM can be cool because it usually coincides with a micro battle, but steady apm is often hotkey spam to keep you you playing quickly, rather than accomplishing a lot at once. Because of these things it is often more interesting to look at your own APM because you know exactly what it means and how you play, whether it is spam or not etc. |

Probably Nada or something, averaging 400 e-apm.
Watched a korean progamer show (I think it was Nal_Ra) saying that there were progamers with 500 apm but were just spamming needlessly and actually slowing down their gameplay. |
| | Yea that looks just like Kang Min... amazing game sense... and uses mind games well, but has the micro of a washed up progamer. | |

no one is averaging 400 eapm...
nada used to have 400average apm in most of his games. highest average eapm i have seen was around 270eapm in flash replays .s |

Yea that's probably correct now that I think about it. |

| I think that BWCharts doesn't actually catch multi-command... Is that anyone elses experience as well? |

Peak APM should never be considered for any record, unless someone uses exactly the same formula for calculating that peak APM (exactly the same minimum time interval of updating); but that also depends on the player's hardware.
By holding a key and setting my keyboard to detect a held key as often as technically possible, I've sometimes gotten peak APM upwards of 4000+, but that just doesn't mean anything.
I'm interested in the highest recorded average APM in an official BW match though. As far as I know, the known record is held by Julyzerg with something like 500-600 average APM, but I may be wrong. |

Without lag, holding down a key in the fastest game setting only gets me 800-1000 APM (with the key repeat set to highest on the windows keyboard config).
The >12 unit selection hack can get really high APMs though. |

| Back in the day there was a guy named Clair[GsP] and he was averaging arround 420 apm with protoss which was unseen at that time because everyone was thinking that protoss required less actions. I remember seeing his peak arround 550 apm without using ctrl+ # tricks or anything so he was legit i guess. |

i knew some people back in BW while i was practicing who wrote macros to spam for them. i'd check our replays afterwards and they would peak 20,000, haha.. just a random memory of that.
i thought julyzerg peaked over 880? it was in a game against Best (finals) was it not? they usually show those stats during match analysis between games at an OSL. I think By.Hero has the highest average out of any known player, usually above 450 average. i would not be surprised if he's gone above 900 in an OSL/MSL match. then again, i don't recall him being a starleaguer for a while now, please correct me if i'm wrong.
julyzerg's record was definitely up there, i remember seeing it, calculating it slowly in my head, and going to my friends to tell them, "YO. THAT'S 15-mousclicks/keyboard strokes a SECOND!" honestly for that one second/minute spike (400-900apm), i know some who don't make that many actions in an entire GAME.Last edit: 2012-06-29 03:25:14 |

Hold shift and then hold one of your hot keys. Watch what happens to your apm unless they removed it  |
