If you believe Aleksi Pietikäinen -- and pretty much every one of the professional players who played against it -- the claim you're repeating here is so misleading as to be fairly considered an intentional lie on the part of the deepmind team.
For example, TLO's inflated APM are presented in that chart without comment. Specifically, without the comment that his high APM counts come from a particular game context in which holding the mouse button down (i.e. a single click with a duration) is counted by the game as thousands of APM.
