Thanks for answering. I might give SCII a try. I've played RTS games casually on a few occasions, just never long enough to get good at them. I just want to play a game where I can feel like I'm making progress.

I have a follow-up. What would you say your APM rate is as a master league player?

On average, i have 150-180 APM*

*APM as shown on the ingame summary scoreboard. There a different ways to measure APM and Blizzard has adjusted the way APM is calculated multiple times (for example, repetitive pressing a hotkey will not increase APM.)

By the way: the Starter Edition is free. Give it a try.
