Remember that one pro game on I think Python or LT, where they were base racing and the guy killed the other persons building by such a small margin of time that his last building was destroyed milliseconds after so that there was the in game notification for both players being eliminated :o | ||

Did it specifically give you a loss during an actual melee/FFA game via multiplayer or did this happen during the campaign? Just because one doesn't have anymore drones shouldn't bring up a Defeat screen. If you lose your last building, then yes, a defeat screen will pop up. Other than that, unless there's a specific trigger in a certain map or part of the campaign, you shouldn't be losing a game just because you use your last drone. This is all said assuming that you know the concept of making a sufficient amount of drones per mineral line, and that the only reason you'd have ever one drone left is due to a very damaged economy. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/oFukj0P.png) Edit: There's a pic of me playing a Single Player melee game against the AI, and I used all of my drones and no larva anywhere else. So either it's an awkward bug in the campaign, or the campaign purposely makes you have at least one drone alive the entire time so you can always be mining. And no, there has not been a single pro game where a player lost because the game showed them a defeat screen for losing their last drone. | ||

Has it ever mattered in a pro-game? its only in that zerg mission where u start with 2 drones and that psi eruptor to take over stray zerg units. just keep 1 of the drones alive in that mission. | ||

And no, there has not been a single pro game where a player lost because the game showed them a defeat screen for losing their last drone. This was specifically from the campaign, and Bakuryu was correct that the Psi Emitter mission was the one that got me  . But at the beginning of the SC1 campaign the Overmind warns you against using your last drone to make a building. Since you've apparently demonstrated that it doesn't matter in custom games it must be purely a trigger in the campaign. I was just wondering why Blizzard would incorporate that into the campaign, the only reason I could think of was that there may be some exploitable bug associated with using your last drone to make a building. What that bug might be I have no idea, but there certainly aren't rules about having enough SCVs or Probes. | ||

Also, is there is a miss chance for units on the low ground firing at flying units on the high ground? Do flying units possess any miss chance variable at all? | ||

It was only like a minute long, and I think it was a guy playing Terran on Blue Storm. I don't remember it being that funny but I'd like to see it again. Does anyone who remembers this have a link to it? =D its freakin hilarious "he 9pooled so he's a faggot" "NEVER RE you always have to gay ppl on blue storm" LOL | ||
