UCSC Students Creating Killer StarCraft Bot

[palladin9479]

Ok some of the people posting have never played in Korea obviously. Back when I lived in the USA I thought I was pretty bad a$$ at starcraft. Very few people could beat me, then I took a job in Korea and holy sh!t. The average 12yr old over here can kick my a$$ so completely that I feel like a noob. These guys have memorized every keyboard command and shortcut imaginable. They click on units with one hand and hit keyboard keys with another at lightning speeds, its almost impossible to follow.

To the folks saying no human can click that fast you've clearly never seen the replays of folks getting 600+ average apm. Granted a lot of that is spam but if you watch the replays carefully on slow motion you see so much logic during battles it's scary.

S Korea actually has a dedicated TV channel where all they show is SC replays, so I've heard, I've never been there. It's amazing that such an old game has such huge following still.

RLY??? 600 apm is 10 clicks in 1 second. I don't think it's possible with just clicks though. You have to move the mouse around to get in different positions during that time. So probably they use the hotkeys along with the clicks, and many of those clicks are not needed like clicking on the same ground couple of times, redundantly. If a player with that way high apm can optimize what they do with them it would be HORRIFIC to play against them. I can usually do 4 clicks a second (optimized) to move units around, click unit, move, click unit, move. That is not really 400 apm avarage because I don't do that for most of the time. OR it could be that the high apmrs just smash the keyboard with random buttons lol.

Yeah now I want to move to Korea, but we should really create a bigger threat to them, making a USA team and of course have a TV channel with SC2 replays lol - SC1 is oooooold and agin lol.
