rofl thats hilarious

the vid shows Yellow clicking the Overlord Sight Range upgrade
and it shows a small segment of the upgrade progressing at a x10 speed
and then it emphasizes the overlords in slow motion, and then the fog of war is instantly uncovered in the minimap
and screaming korean girls throw themselves at yellow in pure ecstasy. for this pimpest play.

maybe for cloaked wraithes..

sometimes the wraithes are on an angle where ur hydras cant hit them because the overlord cant see it?

I've gotten it a couple of times in VERY long games... Say when I'm playing against an arbie asswhipe or a wraith asswhipe, who keeps sniping my lords. Often with this up (it really boosts sight range) its hard to tell what freaking ovie is detecting your cloak.

you've given the best idea so far against lurker contain : go obs sight-range, keep them away from ol's and kill those fucking undergroud lamas with goons&storm without being woried by scourge suiciding on you beloved obs ... ( 1 obs = 2 scourge )

Only on accident (always catch it when I'm macroing though) unless it's way late in the game and I have resources to spare.

I would bash someone for resurrecting this thread, but it seems people enjoy having it back... How odd...

Oh well. Yeah, I upgrade it, especially ZvP - makes spotting observers easier.
