EPTHallucination is genuinely underused for recalls though. I mean, you're still susceptible to emp, but there's a way higher chance you can recall further into the base thus dodging the mine fields, if you have a couple fake arbs to draw turret fire.

Gut instinct says that the risk of wasting even a moment can be fatal in those scenarios so I don't imagine that they would bother to do so, but progamers are nuts, so... they usually do, depends on how busy they are | ||

A better idea to just send hallucinations at his vessels anyway, if that's something you want to do. Hallucination is genuinely underused for recalls though. I mean, you're still susceptible to emp, but there's a way higher chance you can recall further into the base thus dodging the mine fields, if you have a couple fake arbs to draw turret fire. Hallucinated arbiters are one of the hardest thing to stop as Terran. I have no idea why pros don't use them in long high income games. They waste precious emp's, they scare the terran into sending their armies to defend the wrong locations, and they allow protoss to recall past mine fields. Every time I offrace protoss I tech towards them in the super late game. | ||

Watching his BW today and seeing some of his current WC3 on other occasions, you can clearly see it'll be a long way back to old shape. But heck, just like you say, to me also just a legendary figure of early progaming and one of the GOATs in european WC3, so just glad to be able to see him go at it again. | ||

Hallucinated Arbiters are only good for flying in and baiting turrets to recall, if a Terran EMP's a hallucinated Arbiter that is on them, as the Hallucinated Arbiters do not look like real units to Science Vessels... I understand it can be a pretty quick deicsion, but still, a Terran should be able to decipher a bunch of hallucinated Arbiters coming in to Turrets (Since both see them as different colors), and then shoot the EMP at the proper Arbiter. | ||

What I was saying is the color of the unit is different, and the Vessel / scan / turret can easily see that, what is so hard to understand? Erm no to the Terran it looks like the same unit. Just that when you emp a hallucinated Arbiter it disappears straight away. | ||

How you can believe that after being in so many Korean clans. | ||
