You guys mine your extra 30 minerals, then QQ when you get cannon rushed, zerg hatched in your base or bunker rushed.

Eitherway I'm waiting for the first, Everything was going fine doing my almost 4-7% mineral trick until I got noob rushed.

So while i was watching GSL today i noticed no delay in the mining of the players. Does this means everyone is usiing this now or I cant just see the delay?

P.S Im not a SC2 player havent played a single game till now.

This is awesome. I'm a mid diamond player and I just used it. It is very good for me until like 13 supply. Then I can't really focus on my strat while doing that ... so I guess we're going to see a lot of pro's do this now!

nice find!

Does the worker need to currently have minerals when you cue up the 'C' command?

I looked through 20 pages of the thread looking for an answer and I didn't see it.

Uh is it me or can you not quene this multiple times? If you select a worker and watch its quene line, it disappears after one time mining.

In my experience yes. But wouldn't say I've got the trick working perfectly. It definitely puts a strain on other basic macro mechanics if you focus too much Q'ing, the mineral return.

As Zerg, I droned until 10 then made an overlord. Usually when the overlord pops I have ~150, with the trick its more like ~180. But that could be my own mistakes generating the extra income. (I realize this isn't the optimal opening, but its an easy measure of the mineral boosting technique.

The key as far as I know is ending with a right click on the mineral patch otherwise the drone goes idle at the hatch(etc).

Edit: Like to add that while focused executing this trick my apm is around 150, but if i was better I'd boost/Q more

Are you sure you aren't using grid keys? Cause if so, the hotkey is 'D'.

I really haven't gotten much use out of it. I apm around 150 and I can send at least six probes to do this queue command, but I really don't see a big improvement in my economy. And as soon as >8 probes (realistically around 11 probes) are out, the queue stops working when the workers shift minerals.

Select worker, shift right click minerals, wait for worker to have minerals in hand so return cargo hotkey becomes available, hold shift right click minerals, c, right click minerals, c, right click minerals, repeat until your worker drops his minerals off at which point you can no longer queue return cargo commands.

Question:
Can you do this trick by selecting all your workers, wait for 1 to return cargo and press shift-c?
(This is similar to the scv hold position trick in bw)

Won't work because when you right click one mineral patch, every SCV will go to that mineral patch and break the queue.

I don't think it was mentioned on the broadcast, but the Korean players were doing this last night on gomtv.net, I was seeing it in the first game. Watch the first game - probes are instantly turning around instead of holding the mineral and pausing for ~.25 seconds before returning.

Pretty rad.
