how does severianing workers sound for the technique? severalaning? severing?
I don't think it even really needs a name.

You can do this alot faster if you just hold down F1 and click around. Let me try how long it takes for a mineral line with 24 drones. About 5 seconds after stopping them on the first try... and I'm not even a good player.
Wow, this is great. I had no idea you could hold down F1. Makes it a lot simpler. I'll add it to the OP; thankyou!

yeah tried it and it's really usefull thanks.

It's probably easier than most other ways to split workers. There's really not much to it.

Sounds like it would be working pretty well with some practice. May be learning that shit now because as a Zerg there are also a lot of "Baneling running to your mineral line" situations where all you can do is reduce your losses by spreading your Drones. And in those Speedlings/Blings matches you usually don't have too many Drones anyways early on so this should work exceptional well :>

Thanks it will help a lot <3

huh? Its not APM heavy at all. It is simply selecting workers , telling to stop , then using the idle worker feature to send them to different places. Pretty much anyone can do that after a bit of practice.....

Wow, this is really great! :D Will definitely be using that, and it's so easy to do. 
Thanks alot!
|
This is surprisingly easy to do, nice.
|
just tried it, the effect is pleasantly surprising.. thanks
i think ill use it for those oh shit situations when my army move out, and they drop helions in my base, good way to minimise probe losses if you have no immediate way to fend those helions off, a good way to spam apm rather than selecting my army and spamming move non stop back to my base while watching my probes get fried
|
That's pretty witty. I'd like to see this happen on some screened games. I doubt I could pull this off efficiently enough... If anybody has replays of it being done, that'd be pretty neat.
|
yea this is pretty nice. Thanks bluflame are annoying :[

I was thinking 'The Severian Split"

ive done this to success in bling zvz wars not all that hard
|
I also use this technique in ZvZ vs Banelings.
Edit: Ninja'd!

I vote we stop trying to name every single technique in the game. The humor in it has gotten rather stale.

The counter to hellions is NOT..
NOT
NOTTTTTTT
moving your workers... EVER..
why?
Because in each mineral line, are only 3-4 workers..
would u rather have roasted 20 at once, or just 3 at a time? while u kill hellions?
I never anybody just let it be, because ppl panic.. OMGLUKLZZZ hellioonzz, I must move away !

This is a very effective technique. I think the best way to do this is
1) Select workers
2) Hit stop
3) Select Nexus
4) Hold F1
5) Spam click everywhere
The reason why you select your Nexus is that if there is any delay it will screw up how the F1 works (because the spamming click thing will cause all your workers to move making them no longer idle which screws up the F1). Pretty awesome really

Right after boxing them you may want to bind them to 9 or 0 to make it easier to start mining again.
|
I have been doing this against banelings in zvz, very useful
|
x.x Had I known this yesterday I wouldn't have lost the games were I gotta blueflame hellion dropped and Banelings bombed ._.
Great tip, will keep this in mind.
