Well there's a problem.

Starcraft I (BW) requires extensive APM because of the unit limit (12) and building limit (1).. Starcraft II (WOL) requires less because of the ability to select multiple productions facilities and units and once, requiring less hotkeys to be used. Also, Starcraft II is more macro-based, and thus micro (which contributes also to APM) is cancelled out.

Having said that, I don't think anybody plays Starcraft II with 300+ APM, at least not consistently in all the matches, all the time.

Korean pros however, probably will.
