The key difference between what happens now and in the video is that the camera doesn't move. Before, if you pressed F1, you would select an idle worker. If you pressed F1 again, you would select the next. Now, if you press F1 a second time, it centers the camera on that worker (similar to double tapping a control group). This means that when u hold down your F1 key, your camera jumps around retardedly and makes this very difficult, although I guess theoretically still possible. EDIT: Just tested it again and it was working fine. O_o I did just patch it, though... I don't know. Certified working, though. Everyone @ MLG should read this thread =D | ||

Just hold it. | ||

Everyone @ MLG should read this thread =D I tried it this afternoon and got the same thing, it kept centreing on workers and hence made it harder. As for this trick, even with a base with only 18 workers, I found it to take too long to split them all away from the minerals, the hellions would have killed them before that. Maybe it's just because the camera centres on your workers now if you hold down F1, but I found that tapping F1 and holding F1 is still just too slow to split your workers away from hellions. | ||

Apparently not everyone. =) This has always been a pretty useful trick for zerg players splitting against early banelings and hellions, but with the recent blue flame hellion popularity among pro TvT players, I'm sure this will help out terrans of all skill levels as well. | ||
