wow, unglaublich, was E-Sportler auf dem Kasten haben (E-Sport? Der Begriff E-Sport (elektronischer Sport) bezeichnet das wettbewerbsmäßige Spielen von Computer- oder Videospielen im Mehrspielermodus. E-Sport versteht sich entsprechend der klassischen Definition als eigene Sportdisziplin, welche sowohl Spielkönnen (Hand-Augen-Koordination, Reaktionsgeschwindigkeit) als auch taktisches Verständnis (Spielübersicht, Spielverständnis) erfordert.)

Ein Wikipedia-Artikel über das Blizzard-Game Starcraft:

Sometimes Actions Per Minute (or APM) is used as a quantitative indicator of one’s ability to micro- and macromanage. A player’s APM rating is determined by calculating the average number of actions that a player performs during each minute beyond the first 80 seconds of a game. An action in StarCraft is defined as selecting a unit or building, giving an order to a unit or building, or designating a target for an order (for example, ordering a marine to attack, and then selecting a supply depot would be three separate actions, while selecting a marine and right-clicking on a supply depot would be two actions).

Having a high APM rating does not necessarily mean that one is a skilled, or even decent player; a high APM rating instead indicates a fast, active player. In other words, though a high APM does not guarantee success, a successful player almost always has a high APM. Professional gamers, such as those in South Korea, have been known to achieve average APM ratings of over 300, and peak APM ratings, such as during a battle, of over 500 (8.33 actions per second). The computer program BWChart allows StarCraft players to easily determine their APM ratings.
