There is no real gain by doing that. You can´t do it on every worker, there is no time to do it. And the probability of missclick is very high. So it is very easy to delay your minning instead of boost it. If you can queue them up, you can do a bunch really quickly and have all your workers doing it at once. | ||

Also it doesn't scale past 1 worker per patch without things messing up and your queues breaking like crazy. In reality you use it on maybe one probe. Things like scouting and doubling up workers on close patches is much more important and a more productive use of your apm. | ||

If you can't keep up your macro behind this trick, it's going to show up regardless of how well you're able to perform this. This rewards high APM, nothing more. Maybe we should patch marine splitting, or individual blink stalker micro, or magic boxing mutas too? did you not read what i said? The microing of units you just listed take actual skill and practice. Pairing up workers and doing this mineral trick DOES NOT. Its not something that takes alot of practice or alot of apm with 6-8 workers. | ||

Anyone saying this is useless needs to spend 6 solid hours playing around and tinkering with it and practicing with it before they comment. It takes more than a few measly games to "test" it. I've spent an entire damned evening doing nothing but and I feel like I just started to scratch the surface of something. | ||

I couldn’t really exert my wrist even in today’s games. It was difficult to mineral boost with my workers at the start. Other than that, it was okay. | ||

MVP did mention it in this interview: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=334230 I'm pretty sure MVP was talking about the normal worker/mineral technique that everyone does. Having watched quite a few pro streams, I've never seen anyone do the trick from this thread. | ||

IMO, if this was a thing that actually mattered, you'd see pros doing it. People have known about it for forever, but it's not something you see in professional games. The benefits are marginal, and it's only really viable for the first minute or so of the game. With maps being the size they are, I just don't think it's a big deal. | ||
