Just forwarding this to you fine folks of SC2SEA. Get more minerals.

Seems a lot of work T_T I already am busy microing my drones to the closest patches.. doubt I could do both. Early pool/rax/gate timings will be a lot stronger however.

[ProAnnn]

24% boost for 1 probe. Means its like 3% boost to your economy when u do it once hmm...

[AlopexToT]

thats very interesting ! probably only used at the start of the games

[Cyanide]

unintended and will be patched? 6 pool all games now!

[TCPKerO]

Its not too hard to do, until you have like 2 on some patches then I find I click the other workers :P

[FsDronesInJail]

not worth it lol...

[Cordance]

A few questions.
Can you way point with return mins in between so you can spam 20-30 of these at the start of the game on a single min patch which you dont double stack workers on?
How does it compare to double stacking workers which is a standard?
This should work for SCV probes and drones right? What is the difference with accelerations for different units?

Gonna be playing around with this for sure, if you can get the two closest patches doubled up quickly then do this on two other patches I reckon it will be pretty good and not that hard apm wise

The little things make a difference. Worker stacking before this made a small 15 mineralish difference. I havent played with this yet but it should be a fair bit more than that

nah you cant just queue them up like that, cant queue up return cargo

I wonder if this is better than drone stacking yea, best way is to probably drone stack then after that start doing this unless you have the apm for both

yes you can, as long as the worker has minerals everytime you shift click the nexus.

so to queue up this boost:
wait till a worker picks up minerals, click in front of nexus shift click nexus shift click in front of minerals shift click minerals, shift click in front of nexus shift click nexus etc etc.
note: if the worker deposits the minerals and then you issue another shift click on nexus, the worker will go to the nexus but not drop off the minerals

Ok I tried this in a few ladder games, with no practice obviously, balls deep or go home!!


Insanely fun for some reason and pretty easy. I felt like I had more minerals, almost as if my timings were off, but they weren't, just had a bit more money

[Shieldz]

lol imba boost

[NvJazBas]

More reason for me to 6pool

[Shieldz]

looks like my 4 gate will be even better LOL

[S2Glow]

i try this on zerg. i always get 270 mineral on 1min mark. anybody higher? 6pool no drone btw

[ETL.ViTaL]

this technique is only good for the early game as it is impossible to macro and individually micro each scv to each patch, and to be honest the rate in which you micro separate scvs will only work for a few scvs at a time and hence give you an extra 20 or so minerals in the early game-a slighter quicker rax, not really enough to make a difference imo

[z33ktv]

Sure there is more reason to 6 pool because it is i guess more viable when you have less drones as ViTaL said above, but other than that, the chance you mess it up and waste the minerals you gained from doing it is high too. just drone stacking better imo
