I noticed in the very beginning when you grab all your probes you send half to one crystal and half to another. Looking close at the video it seems like you have all six selected and then suddenly have only three. i.e. not shift clicking them away.

I have been wishing there was a way to instantly deselect half a group, maybe I missed something. Please explain. Thanks

@siamonsez Essentially the following happens:

1. Game starts: Build a worker at Nexus then box-select all Probes and right-click them to far left or right mineral.

2. As they are moving (still in basic starting "L" formation), box-select the 3 probes furthest from the clicked-on mineral patch, and right-click these 3 to the opposite end of the minerals.

I'm not super fast at it yet, but it's been shown that doing this sort of split quickly enough will increase mineral gathering speed slightly.

it also works if you put cannons on the low ground then a pylon that powers the high ground and put cannons there
