EPTEDIT: Another factor to consider may be the fact that splitting easier and thus requires less time in sc2 than required in sc1 (Part of split AI)

But lag usually screws me up. I don't know why it always lags for like .5s at the beginning of the game and then the rest is fine. I'd rather just have that extra .5s loading, though I'm sure that's not the problem xD I don't know what is the most efficient though. | ||

Unless I mess something up, then it's disastrous! It usually works out for me pretty well  | ||

What if Day[9] casts you in a replay and omg you will look like a noob and be made fun of forever! >.> But yeah, its such a tiny tiny detail. I try to do my best with the ole send workers, build, split workers before they mine thing because its a pretend mental mini-game I play but I don't stress it. | ||

He told me....that it doesn't make a bit of difference because none of this will be so important that you will lose a game over and to not worry about it. So work on other things first! =D | ||

I wonder what the most efficient way to do it is? | ||

but this really isn't big enough of a deal to ever affect your games. At the very highest level of brood war this might make a difference but no one is even close to that level at sc2 yet | ||

Tiny differences but the F1 split looks gosu when people watch you do it. lol, I wonder how many sc1 players forgot about the hot new tech of the idle worker button (I know i did) | ||

I never even realized the initial workers were "idle" but I mean its pretty obvious now that you mention it. A side question on something I've never tried but it seems like it would definitely work the best: does anyone hit "Backspace" + "E" (for Protoss) for the initial probe? I always click the Nexus but it seems like hitting Backspace would be the fastest way to do it. | ||

It would be slower overall I think | ||
