What it takes to be a StarCraft Champion?

According to Korean gamers, you need to be able to do over 200 APM to be able to get into the championships of StarCraft tournaments. That’s 200 actions per minute on the keyboard.

Just look at how these guys play.

Now that’s like carpal tunnel syndrome on steroids. Anybody out there who are serious gamers? So what’s your APM like?

About APM… parang may sakit na yung more than 200 APM… I guess being able to type 100 WPM is not enough for you to achieve the 200 APM treshhold.. lols
