Hey

I noticed that in games of Jaedong his larvas seems to be very often in very good positions in the beginning of his games. Sometimes you can see that his larvas makes very unusually movements directly to the minerels. You can see this for example in his game on blue storm against luxury from today.


(Z)Jaedong < Blue Storm > (Z)Luxury

* Jaedong : violet(7) / Luxury : green(1) Part 1 Part 2(from the small vod thread which is great btw)

Youtube



I experienced and found the trick of him. When you group the larvas with another unit like a drone or an overlord you can give them orders. Nothing special because they dont react on this orders but when you spam s (for stop) they make funny movements and move directly to the left side of the hatchery. It seems that you can only move the larves to this side, i could not find a way for the other directions.

Of course this is only good when the minerals are on the left side too



€: You dont need to spam, one click is enough

Edit by Chill: To summarize, if you select a Larvae with another unit (Overlord or Drone) and give them the "stop" command, the Larva will move to the left of the Hatchery.

Your drones are closer to the minerals so they can start mining faster.

No point for the part 1 link as it won't open without downloading all the parts of the .rar

in a ZvZ it can helps, every little things can help or maybe it provide a sentiment of security (like "i'm will not be behind if i make this move" like the VCS split up at the start)
