Also I want to point out that the "Chinese triangle" is bullshit. It's all about the scourge internal timer

Aren't you just explaining how the "Chinese triangle" works though? I thought it was just switching paths before the scourge retargets and using patrol to kill it.

The chinese triangle focuses on the angles of turning (45 degrees or smth), but that is not what fools the scourge.
You can fool the scourge in any direction you want, just make sure to be in sync with the scourge internal timer.

It was painful to see:
Day9 believing the chinese triangle fools scourges


@f10eqq: You are right too:

Edit: Video that demonstrates the "angles" that fools the scourge

Thank you.



So what does this mean? A scourge recalculates its path with a period of 1 second. So just before the scourge will recalculate you make a brusque off course movement, the scourge will lock on and follow this path. After the recalculation you quickly move on course again while the scourge keeps going in the wrong way for the rest of the period between two consecutive recalculations.

How do the angles play a role now?
