People started saying "cloning wraiths" a lot after the XellOs highlight video was released. He clones like 6 wraiths perfectly in the middle of the map. Dunno why, or what game it was, but he clones all of them to go to a different direction. It looked really crazy. Sorry bout the grammer on the wraith part was typing really fast cuz i had to go. But yea the reason i brought up wraith cloning is cuz of that game i saw it and i was like how does he do that. i even had a first person vod of it but couldnt figure it out.

Are you supposed to shift+click your SCV's in the beginning? I've always just clicked all four of them really fast on different mineral patches after sending them to one.

He was scouting for lurker drops on Paradoxx vs Junwi in MyCube OSL.He went 3port wraiths.

For Irradiate cloning.Watch URGK MSL finals last game on Luna where Nada irradiated 9 drones at once

same here
I send them to one mineral patch and during their ride to that patch i split 3 workers to different patches manually so every worker is on his own patch(closest to main bulding)

I really need to learn how to clone. Up til now I've just relied on clicking on whatever i'm trying to do really fast. It's been somewhat effective, but perhaps it's why I haven't gotten past my current skill level in awhile.

That's how I do it, too. Using shift and everything would take too much time unless you really practiced it.

Nice fastest map possible ever. Both of those took place in the same game?

there's a point where i clone overlords. when i have 6 in one area i tell them to go somewhere, shift click 5 to go somewhere, shift click, 4 to go somewhere, etc. this way, they will all be in a different spot . i think however we established what cloning was by now

i always think its crazy when nada can irradiate with like 8+ sci vessels from one scan

Cloning has some limited uses to it. It always starts out with a group of units and from there you can shift+deselect a unit by either selecting a wireframe of one of the units in the group or one of the units on screen.
It's used to separate 4 workers in the beginning to different mineral patches, but that's usually a matter of preference. Cloning also helps when you micro scourge to target separate units or else they could be really dumb and you end up having 5 scourge hitting 1 muta. Spellcasters also benefit from cloning in specific situations such as when you have a group of vessels and you scan a group of lurkers that are at a distance you can use the time it takes for the vessels to reach the lurkers to irradiate separate lurkers efficiently as long as you make sure you finish the cloning before the vessels actually reach the lurkers or else you may end up stacking irradiates on one lurker.
Overall, I would say cloning is good when you need to accomplish multiple instances of the same task but to different targets given that you have time to execute the clone. The window of time needed to clone is probably why it has limited uses because it can't really be used in the heat of battle.

Yes they did.
Fastest is the best! As you can see, it was a pretty nice game.
