A bad position means, bad for 2 workers and for 3 workers.

I think it's definitely useful information for map makers, although the idea that I now should memorize which gases are "good gases" frightens me.

To us "casual" gamers its even of less importance. You can use / abuse this if you have a build which needs gas but is very mineral heavy, so you want to keep rather 2 workers mining minerals than mining gas. Which would lead you to have only 4 workers at the geysirs and the rest of your workers mining minerals.

The difference in using 1. or 2. are quite small, but as Artosis said yesterday at the GSL: If you add up all the small things, you can get yourself a pretty decent lead.

The gas issue is nothing that puts you totally ahead or behind if you do not put it into consideration.
There's a fine line between bravery and stupidity.
