it will be helpful to avoid banelings as well, especially in those nasty early game ZvZ's.... this doesnt even take that much apm besides mass clicking which anyone can do

If tyler knew about this yesterday This is so easy, took me about 2 seconds to scatter my 30 workers around the map.

sounds way to time consuming, depending on the situation I try to either run them away before the hellion gets close enough to shoot at them in a group, or I leave them be and remove the ones taking shots.

What are you talking about? I just tried it (with the holding-F1-then-click-everywhere) took me about 2 seconds

wouldn't it be helpful to add in a hotkey right after the first f1 press? that way you can retrieve your probes easily after scattering them.

You can press Ctrl-F1 to select all of your idle workers, or you can Ctrl-click to select all workers on the screen. A hotkey would work too, of course, but it's a little slower.

Just practiced this for a few minutes. Man this works really well. Next time I see banelings coming for my mineral line I'll be doing this. Awesome post OP :D

great technique, but i think the hardest part is pressing "stop" on all your probes. its like counter intuitive in my brain lol. see forces incoming? STOP! DONT RUN AWAY!

i think even just pressing stop without doing anything else would be better then running all your probes in a line

Isn't it great when people figure these tricks out they suddenly decrease the potential of hellions?

Amazing find, OP. I thank you
nice.

btw if not done so already go into keyboard properties and set key repeat and delay to the shortest time.

this makes it so that if you hold F1 it will cycle through all the workers the fastest with the least delay

also useful to queue units if required

Awesome. Hopefully I can make this a habit at one point.
It's rather amazing with so many people figuring out little cool things to do to improve their play.

@ all the people saying it's too micro/APM intensive. Seriously? Come on.

Really nice discovery. Good job!
