it can be countered by stacking and dancing out, but generally the pylon being there fucks up your probes ability to mine in the most convenient spot i think to get 1 probe out you group it with others, mine then and tell them to attack move and the probe will dance out, not sure tho | ||

i've also seen a single probe slip out but only accidentally and i figured it was too hard to do so i always just left it there to attack the pylon edit: that was ridiculously easy oh man scratch that i just did it just make sure the probes stack | ||
