had an icc game today, and the toss i was playing was able to recall after getting his arbiter hit by an emp.

is this a well known bug/abuse? here's the replay: http://repdepot.net/replay.php?id=19504 (the recalls occur in the last third of the game)

Did you check to see the arbiter's MP?

The range of EMP is pretty small

LOL ^

recall is slow casting spell, so it takes a minute for the units to actually show up even if the emp hits.
..and then I would, ya know, check em'. (Aka SpoR)

><. take the recall at ~36:35 bottom right for example. arb gets hit by emp, keeps flying and then recalls. but after watching it again its much closer than i thought, so it might be normal after all. ^^

Not having watched the replay due to it being bugged for me, did the arbiter lose 150 energy before the EMP hit?

arb loses its energy at emp hit (or he's using the spell at the exact same moment)

It ahppened to me too once
His arbiter was stopped so i'm sure my emp hit, but he still recalled one or two second after my emp

It happened to me once in ladder.
I was
sososososoosososo mad. Needs to be patched so recall is negated if the arb is struck while casting imo.

No, pvt is hard enough, just seems fair imo.

We start the recall before you start the EMP. Having it go through seems like fair game to me. Besides a late emp results in a large clump of units with 0 shields or mana
seriously next disrespectful comment in this blog is ip ban. Be happy or get the hell out. // SC2 is like playing with neutral-colored Play-Doh while BW is like colorful Legos.

Actually, not only pvt is hard. TvP is hard as well... Such situation happened to me before too, emp before blue whirlwind and recall still happening, i always thought that if emp hits before whirlwind then there won't be recall.
