APM is a really really misleading metric to use here. Most starcraft pros spam keys to keep themselves loose and ready when the time comes. Even at the start of a game, you'd often see players with 500 apm warming up the fingers. Here, there is the laughable graph of the computer apm over time. The key points here is that when there were the mass battles that won the game, the apm spiked to >1000. And if you look closely in slow motion, there was perfect split targeting. A human player wouldn't be able to perfectly select the exact number of stalkers to hit the enemy without wasting a surplus shot. They can, but not when it's mass stalkers. This efficiency is just beyond humans. The APM here indicates much more effective use of an action than a typical human. This is super impressive as an achievement, but this is clearly not a smarter ai, but moreso an ai like the video a while ago where zerglings could perfectly micro against siege tanks to avoid splash damage. It is clearly better than humans in certain ways, but not smarter.
