Which is better when the game first starts, send workers to gather minerals, or make worker first then gather workers?

well as soon as its gets to one and the screen goes blank for a sec, click and it will beon your CC,Nexus,Hatch then all you have to do is the hotkeys real fast.. so it doesnt take all that much time.

Make SCV: it takes a lot less time to select your CC and hit "S" than it does to spread/clone your SCVs.

FrozenArbiter, I think that's too much work since the cursor is already above the main hat/cc/nexus when the game starts. You only have to click once, and press p, s or sd to make the probe/scv/drone and then ctrl+click on drone, send & split. I think it's easier & faster :/ That is also how most pros do it ^^;
River me timbers.

FronzenArbitor, you do it the way Arang does it. IMO its the most efficient way, however you need inconcievably fast hands.
I do this for Auir.

u can make a peon in a fraction of a second, but if u think abuot it, its a matter of 4 peons gathering faster or 1 peon gathering faster. prob just depends on hand speed -_-

i send scvs to one spot, build scv, split scvs
already did that when i started with bw so its definitely not so hard T_T



btw muhweli, ur way is obviously slower, because the second scv is the one that counts (all other scvs depend on that one) and therefore the 7th load of mins counts ==> it is really important, to move ur scvs as fast as possible! as long as your first scv is finished when u get 50mins, it doesnt matter at all how late that one comes (well, not really, but the difference is irrelevant ^^).

btw i cant remember a single game that ended before the first buildings were being built where i didnt have the highest score ~~

Not really- but fast enough- and I wouldn't consider them slow-,.-
