Can someone explain how to do this please? :bleh:



None.

The only way I know of, is easiest to pull off on melee maps. You select all your workers have them spam mining one mineral patch, and then a-click an enemy unit that is right next to them.

What Oli said, but it works much better if you use shift to issue a command queue.

We do a little trolling

It works even better if you select a group of em, have them not doing shit, then hold down shift and right click an empty geyser like 5 times, then, while still holding shift, order them to attack.

Hold down shift, spam rightclick on a vesgene geyser until it says Unit Waypoint is Full, then spam rightclick with shift held still on the vespene geyser and then give out the attack command with Shift still being held 3 times.

1. Select SCVs
2. Hold down shift and do not let it go until the very end
3. click the vespene geyser until it says waypoint is full
4. despite that it said that, click it some more
5. give out attackcommand 3 times
6. Let go of Shift

Not necessary. Just klick a few times, maybe 3-5 times.
The point is to perfectly stack them at the geyser.

You only need to shift-rightClick the geyser once.

Ah. Well, I've had a higher success ratio with doing it like that in Tricks maps. :P

Oh_Man -- it can pick the weakest mutalisk off from a stack of mutas - pretty OP
[02:30 am]
Oh_Man -- against zerg: https://youtu.be/PK5WD1EAnpU
[02:22 am]
Oh_Man -- another match here, way more wraiths
[02:04 am]
Oh_Man -- and templars psi storm as arty said is a strong counter to the marine med the bot was going, so the wraith was actually the correct play there
[02:04 am]
Oh_Man -- and the wraith was cloaking and going around sniping templars (which wuld be too hard to perfectly micro in a normal human game and the wraith wuld die or distract u too much trying to micro it vs doing other things)
[02:03 am]
Oh_Man -- they usually require too much micro so it's 'dumb' for a human to use them. but in the hands of the AI they become god tier, ghosts locking down goons and helping get them picked
[02:03 am]
Oh_Man -- artosis also didnt understand a couple of its plays, coz they make no sense for a human, but they did for the AI. The wraith and the ghost for example
[02:01 am]
Oh_Man -- it's issuing orders to each unit individually, so the number sounds more hype than it actually is, it's just an artifact of it not being able to use control groups
[02:01 am]
Oh_Man -- also the 6000 APM is kind of a fake/incorrect number, which is xplained by the AI maker in the comments. it's not using control groups, it doesnt have that functionality
