Starcraft – the most efficient way to begin gathering at the start of a game of Starcraft 2

starcraft-2

Is there any way to have workers spread out to all nearest crystal straight away at the start of a game?
Selecting all workers and sending them to 1 crystal node makes them all swarm to that node after which they start to spread out. This seems inefficient and inconsistent with their otherwise intelligent behaviour.

Best Answer

Split the workers by sending 3 to one side and 3 to other side.

It doesn't give much advantage, but pros like to do it.
