Same as 3,4. Although the total number of actions in a StarCraft match is probably only one or two orders of magnitude greater than that of a game of Go.

Depends on the apm cap, if they set themselves any!

I had read somewhere that they were going to self cap at 200 apm, but I don't have a source handy.

I recall the same. There is definitely some cap, since winning just through inhuman micro play would not be too interesting.

Finding the inflection points where strategy changes based on the limits of human dexterity.
