EPTThere might be some timings that are really really crisp with certain players that always adhere to a particular build and always build the same units at the same seconds. Then you have to time a pylon exactly the pylon build time before they start morphing an egg with that timing, then wait for ~15 seconds with 0 actions, and then hope you got something out of it.

For a scout to be early enough to be of significance, you'd have to screw up your own build order to the point where any advantage you get is removed. On islands this is totally broken. But even as a random player, I will be happy if protosses try to scout me doing this instead of actually scouting. Maybe not to block hatch first then, but something like proxy gate would definitely be doable. I could see something like Pylon, Gateway, Pylon (cancel) and you'll know where T is before your gateway finishes. | ||

And the math for the sacrificed minerals and if it is worth not scounting rushes at your door is not done. Muta stacking isn’t even a bug, it’s just selecting units with one of them outside of the magic box. It’s part of the point move vs formation move mechanics. | ||

EDIT : So after killing Pylon, you have to keep Probe selected and hit CTRL+C to reveal their location ? Why was the SCV damaged? | ||

The "StarBugMaster" says you can actually do the same trick with Terran or Zerg. The mechanism seems to be to destroy a building 1) that's "transitioning" 2) being attacked 3) while clicking it. Then the clicked unit dies but somehow you are still selecting it, and it becomes the next unit created in the game, even an opponent's. So you can do this with a creep colony that dies exactly when it's about to turn into a sunken colony. I don't know what the equivalent would be for a Terran unit. This method isn't useful for Zerg because it's too expensive, and by the time you make a sunken you probably know where the opponent is anyway. | ||

For real. I remember when total recall what supposed to break TvP. It’s not even a thing anyone thinks about anymore. | ||

You only need to know by the time the zealot finishes and by that time you will have scouted 2 locations and know already anyway | ||

Cut probes, send probe towards middle of map on 6, pylon 6, 8 pylon in their base, forge in their base, cannon. | ||
