u crash if you click the portrait of the non-existent pylon/building. you need to wait for your opponent to select something.

I don't think it will be banned muta stacking is dubious asf if you try to say if it is a bug or a feature, and like as Brood War goes every new bug people try to find advantage has counterplay.

And the math for the sacrificed minerals and if it is worth not scounting rushes at your door is not done.

LOL so if your opponent has a feeling that you're up to some tricks, he can delay building something during the time that he expects you to cancel a pylon and then if he's correct, your game will crash giving him an auto win? :D

I guess not even once. It's also very obvious if you watch the replay.

quite the opportunity cost of having to build and cancel a pylon, getting a probe on standby for a couple of seconds to perform it plus another couple more seconds of idling at minimum just to see your opponent selected units/buildings.

the information you get has to be super crucial to make up for economic dmg. best use in PvP maybe? do it at a certain timing to ascertain his tech in a pinch and you can see your opponent building DTs etc. very niche use imo, the user needs to know what his doing.

I haven't really tested what it is you can see from this. Is it just building units, or can you see what building the opponent is building?

IF you can see when the pool is starting for example, you can time this to scout for a 9pool and then 12 nex after not seeing one. That would be big in pvz. (would be hilarious if that became a 'new meta' and zergs started 8pooling to fuck with it lol.)

Nowadays, if a new thing is discovered, people are afraid of it and ban it. I hope it won't be the case this time. Let the game grow, don't restrain it.

If you accurately know the timing of a building in a certain build, you can confirm or infirm that build as well.

Speaking of that, did you guys see a trick to check if multiple lurkers are burrowed in same place?

Just turn on the unit portrain, when you then box select the lurkers, if there are more than one, you will see portraint changing with "whie noise" between, meaining it's 2+ lurkers.

As is tradition with all new protoss tricks, it looks super awesome at first but then when it comes to implementing it into game play, it falls short.

I think the damaged SCV could either be grapgical bug because of the unintended behavior of the portrait exploit or judging by the camera this how the game treats a building unit internally like a building who starts with it's wireframe "damaged" untill it's done.


It's not a damaged SCV. It's the one "TRAINING" SCV from the command center
