Hmmm... I'm guessing here, but it probably is the answer. It is to keep the mutalisks out of the "magical box." That way when you click on a spot, the mutas will clump together instead of staying in formation. My two cents.

Wtf, i never thought of that, and i have just been mass-clicking on a certain spot to clump them, when im not near any minerals or own buildings to use.


But even still, its not so big a difference anyway, they stay clumped while they keep attacking and moving, and my muta micro is far from newb ;]

Wow this was a good and useful topic. I also liked the minerals on Forte thread. That was also a really useful topic.

amazing answer, hasuprotoss

i have another question, what you think about the worker gathering trick to random places with empty gas (that shift move with empty gas). is it/should it be banned? may be it's just bm?

i just tried it and its far from a small difference. usually the mutas split apart very slowly and gradually while you're microing them, and moving back and forth while picking off scvs or attacking whatever ends up separating them by a good amount. they end up separated enough to not all attack one target at the exact same time, so that when you're microing you end up pulling back too fast or having to let all of them attack before moving back.

this is amazing i think. now everytime you move back, they regroup themselves.

at the end of one of the gorush vs zergman games from the recent round of 16, they show gorush's screen as hes watching the rep afterwards and he has zergman's hotkeys in the rep and i noticed that zergman had an overlord grouped with his mutas. i was also wondering why he did that.

I never thought about that!! I was gonna say maybe it's for cloak wraith detection or something but WOW that's wonderful wonderful news ^_^
I guess it helps because zerg units need overlord for better commands! :D
