The Low APM challenge is for Winter (who normally plays around 250 to 300 actions per minute in Masters/Grandmaster) to climb the ranks starting with 50 APM in Bronze! The limit increases with each rank! His punishment for failure is esports money out of his own pocket, gifting free subscriptions to his twitch channel to live viewers.

Holy shit, low APM is still going! Finally I have more material to study and for the zero ladder games I'll be playing, and fall asleep to because I put them on when I'm going to bed

[@user-ec1yv5mp9d]

Winter out there worrying about people not watching the whole thing... Buddy i've watched it all 4 times already cause i've been falling asleep after 30 mins of my last 3 attempts so the vid could safely finish alongside with me snooring in the background. Np 😎

[@anthonyontv1061]

Yo 100% exactly same thing here, lol

[@Mrgui110tine]

I've been sleeping to this series and have dreams building stuff. Amazing

[@BarronMichael]

Hey Shiba. Hey Winter, this is actually my second full watch through of the Terran low apm challenge. I enjoy both the longer 3.5 to 4 hour videos over a few days, and the shorter 2.5 hour videos too. Keep up the good work. Thanks for making it clear and concise what to look for and where to go when playing.

[@Vagitarian01]

Hey BionicShiba! Thanks for keeping chat well behaved during live streams!

[@lolapplesauce]

THAT DUDE. That last dude.. who is he, he needs to be be next flo. A person we watch like a specimen, a legend, our hero.

[@tedhooker9855]

Just wanted to give a shoutout to you for getting me back into playing Starcraft 2. I've been following tournaments off and on but the ladder was daunting until you (and Pig) made it seem accessible. Gold / Platinum after just a few weeks, despite not having played since Wings of Liberty launch, so thanks to your instruction! Please keep up the good work!

[@soldiersvejk2053]

It seems that Winter is working significantly harder than the low APM run two years ago. Maybe players are getting better.

[@jimmyha1898]

You sure? He seems to be breezing through em to me. :/

[@anthonyontv1061]

God I hope they are after 10 years lol

[@jimmyha1898]

[@neyverh123]

Winter is such a good coach. I remember when I got into SC2 bc of one of his videos with zerg. after that, I wanted to main zerg lol

[@AustinMerfeld]

Same

[@JesterOfFlesh]

Already watched this live but its important to support the channel with engagement, plus lets face it, multiple viewing can only improve retention. Hi Shiba.

[@brandonholt6717]

That last game was incredible. And to find out the guy had over 16k games?! What?!

[@Hucklebeary]

I love these low apm challenges. Thank you winter for the great coaching and great overall content

[@loudogg0028]

I like the 4 hour vids. It takes a few days to watch but I've watched all of them

[@WolfGangDealers]

More Low APM Challenge! Let's go!

[@alejandrosanchezsalcedo7076]

I'm glad that the challenge is back. Seriously thinked that you had dropped it. Looking forward to the protoss episode

[@MrGeorgeFlorcus]

That last game reminded me of that Mark Twain quote, "The world's greatest swordsman needn't feat the 2nd greatest swordsman, the person he should be afraid of is some ignorant antagonist who has never held a sword in his hand before." It also made me realize that Mark Twain was wrong.

[@peterpansky3104]

Hey Winter i am really glad the challenge is back ! I am looking forward to the next zerg part as i prefer the bugs instead of the Terran salt. That site with the mmr ranges you mentioned only shows the ranges for NA but not EUW (or korean) servers. Do you known why the others dont seem to get updated anymore?

[@Kovacks912]

love the series!

[@maikwokwik9739]

nice, time for my 101st try to actually start playing the game! i promise i will start playing!

[@TheBlinkUp]

I gotta say having shorter videos is great idea. I recomend going a bit lower than 2 hours. Overall great series Winter! You made me go back to SC2 after long time

[@MrGeorgeFlorcus]

I think the best part of 58:45 is that Winter got the red Terran to kill his own tech lab, and kept his barracks, so he basically lost nothing lol

[@bahamut256]

Good god that tank barrage at 38:55. That was 60-70 supply of roaches gone in under a second.

[@lordbalbero348]

Kinda funny how it went in the last Game. Wasn´t one of the first Tipps we learned "If he plays strange , get your Armory at 3,50 and set up at least 1 Turret per Base and get Produktion" ?

[@vonixvintvon2534]

Was so pissed, untill u went back and did the fusion core announcement! all is good in world now.

[@hypers829]

I personally enjoy vids as long as possible, but you gotta do what you gotta do for the algorithm.

[@olegolefirenko7994]

Thanks!

Love the videos! Thank you Winter!. Love from Israel!

[@ethanjohnson5054]

How do you fight against TvT a turtle terran that has a lot.of turrets planetary and siege tanks sitting back doing nothing while having some battlecruisers to take out my side expansions over and over. Game was like an hour long

[@VofYork]

God I can't stand TvT after 20 minutes

[@TheMuffinman191]

Ravens and vikings(interference matrix disables a bc completely), More BC's since hes just gonna let you do what you want on your side of the map for 10 minutes, you could just take 4 bases as fast as possible and run huge groups of maruaders into those defensive positions if you think you got the macro. Magfield Cyclones smash BC's pretty good but thats micro hard. Thors beat BC's if you dont get yamatod to death. You could also make mass mines and just sit them outside your bases for him to run over. Build a billion missile turrets. Just remember, the turtle terran isnt attacking you, hes harrassing you, but BC's can get caught ut really hard in TvT because Terran anti-capital is nutty.

[@AxtonLovesHisTurret]

Hi Winter! You asked me to post the question I asked on stream in the comments of this video, so here you go: What signs should a player look for in their own performance that indicate they are ready to/need to consider their opponent now?

[@VictorF0326]

Hello fellow sc2 playa. Winter is a vampire and usually doesn't answer KZbin comments. Using stream bits or donations on stream usually works better as long as he's not casting (which he'll turn off his notifications until he finishes recording). Anyway back to your question, what do you mean ready to/need to consider the opponent? Do you mean from practicing vs AI to considering fighting an opponent?

[@AxtonLovesHisTurret]

@@VictorF0326 i asked the question on stream, he answered it, and then asked me to post it as a comment here so he could bring it up in the next low apm video.

[@damedley75]

1:07:00 Vikings are pretty good vs BCs! Having enough Starports to build up a fleet large enough to absorb that initial Yamato salvo is where I often fail in this situation 😭

[@GrippeeTV]

Been awhile! Were you just waiting for the ranked system to be fixed?

[@Shrakathan]

I use F2 semiregularly, it's very handy shortcut for renaming files on Windows machines :O

[@brandonholt6717]

Also, I always watch the entirety of videos like these, but almost never in one sitting. I don’t know if YT accounts for that or not

[@bryancutler6201]

Set off my Alexa....didn't have awnser for that actually woke me up lol

[@MrCreed145]

I watch all of the 4-5 hours videos i just do it in 45-60 minute segments with my coffee before and after work.

[@erytroxylon]

How many barracks do you need to remax on marines in one round, zerg style? How many is too many?

[@bongkem2723]

1:41:24 is a horror movie scene :))) and then he "gg fck", what a game :))))

[@arcturus64]

What's the music that plays whenever Winter says 'FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSION COOOOORE!' ?

[@eazy2195]

"If you can't read you're screwed anyways and the protos episode is somewhere else" Lmao

[@wol_ves]

Maybe you should just put Part 1 in the title for every video? Seems to me you'd get the most views that way

[@imhappyidance]

i didnt realize the music was added in editing my immersion is ruined

[@solas6342]

Shout out to Malvakt. I love you.

[@DonFranke]

Why the change from "Is bigger better?" to the current title? Otherwise as always nice edutainment once again
