edit: it doesn't seem like it works, nvm definitely seems like using the shift methods is slightly faster though, although in the grand scheme of things, 30-60 extra minerals doesn't seem like it's that significant of a lead | ||

I've never seen this before since I've never ran into a situation where I've had to queue so many commands, but as you queue more and more commands, the green 'pointer' thingy over the mineral patch gets thicker and thicker, it's a nice visual representation of how near the end of the command queue a worker is, and which worker's command queue you should be extending first. | ||

High level pros can execute this kind of stuff perfectly every time and with ease, especially since they'll have nothing else to worry about and their opponent can't really harass that early anyway. | ||

Imagine doing early reaper and the toss havent is still trying to get his stalker out... 15s is enough for 4 kills! Yeah, cheese builds will be much more effective if you do it.. That's quite scary, actually. | ||

An APM sink, nothing more. A mindless task to dump your APM into. I'm OK with some dumps, but this one is EXTREME. | ||
