bah! I hate when all these little tricks spill into the mainstream, they are something that only creative thinkers should enjoy the benefits of... even though most people wont take them seriously.
I feel like everytime some discreet bw tactic becomes common knowledge among all players it slowly kills broodwar because it removes what separates them from the best (in a way it also forces new tactics to be created to break-away from the pack, but remember there is only a limited amount of things we can do within the game).

call me selfish but discoveries like this should be kept to yourself IMO


lol. come on man. don't tell me you've never thought of doing that before. micromanaging your minerals has been known for years.

because it makes me able to develop new "mind games" against my opponents and new strats to become viable (going lurker after 3 hatch in a good muta map after everyone started doing the OL-Muta trick, 2 base hive against fe terran on Luna/RH3).
we think very similar in that way, like I play TvZ for fun and since 95% of terrans go FE everygame thesedays, I refuse to and play 1 base "old" style its really great going against the trend imo

gg_hertzz: I wasn't specifically referring to this topic just the leakage of knowledge into the bw mainstream

i think i first saw xellos do that

a good trick is to rally point to your minerals for your first 10 or 20 peons. just be careful, because if you aren't checking on them often, they might be able to blend in with the non-slacking workers

for the really anal zerg players, you can also think about selecting the larvae closest to the minerals for your next drone ^_^
And this hot potato has vanished into thin air.

This is all good, lovely discussion and all, but let's see an example of a progamer doing it. This thread needs a short clip of this being properly executed. Please.

progamers rarely execute things perfectly and have historically had bad strategies. they are simply the best at winning games at the moment, but that doesnt imply that they are anywhere near doing things perfectly, either execution-wise or strategically. we should rather let someone do tests and post the results, so that we can individually judge the execution for what it is and we can see for ourselves the differing outcomes of different strategies. to say that we can watch a progamer do it and thus conclude that what we've seen is the best strategy and the perfect manifestation of that strategy is leading us in the wrong direction.

Yes that was the original point of this thread...I was asking to get the vod if someone had it, but other people started discussing it and it went off that way.
