Starcraft – Are APM measured in game time or real time

starcraft-2

If I have 100 APM in Starcraft 2, do I click 100 times per minute or actually 140 times. The multiplier for faster is about 1.4 X.

I heard that these two times are called "game time" and "real time".

I would also want to know in what time Sc2gears measures its APM.

I do not care about small differences due to different spam prevention mechanisms etc.

According to the TeamLiquid wiki, Starcraft's APM numbers are based on Normal Game Speed.

So if you want to convert this to real time from "faster" time (the default ladder speed), you would multiply by 1.38.
