the problem is that the terran can spam "stop" on the turret and it will fire at the observer anyway, so it might not be worth your observers if you are playing against a good terran | ||

Basically place your obs above the turret.. By press S on the turret, it will attack the obs, in a SPIRAL MOTION! Woo! Tornado.. | ||

cuz that could be a pain in the ass for t if his turrets dont take out the shuttle in the few moments he has noticing that observers stall the turrets attack animation | ||

It's possible to move an observer over an already-built turret, and it will barely survive, but i don't know how useful that is, or how consistent you can make it. I think you can do this with a shuttle too. the problem is that the terran can spam "stop" on the turret and it will fire at the observer anyway, so it might not be worth your observers if you are playing against a good terran Yes you can do it with a shuttle! In Diplomacy Gold 7.7 or w/e you could get free money by dropping an scv on an island with a capturable city, and put the shuttle over the turret and have the scv kill the turret after you froze it! :D It didn't always work though Much easier to do with a turret during construction. | ||

Or it can be used (as stork did recently) to disable a turret beeing built in a push for a few critical seconds while you zealot bomb the tank line and break the push. | ||

What do you mean? This doesn't make it not detect or not build, all it does is stop the turret from shooting. | ||

.... It was used in GOM not long ago but I forgot what game... However it requires special circumstances. For example locking a turret being built to buy just enough time to get a shuttle there. just like tasteless said it's a healthy bug that should be allowed seing how making it worth it requires good micro and thought | ||

To me, it obviously shouldn't be allowed, but since no one wants to deal with/knows how to deal with complaints if someone complains about the bug -- as it is usually hard to determine "this bug cost me the game," so may as well have it be permitted. But for a pro league, that's kinda odd, I don't think it used to be that way. Is it just GOM that allows this? | ||

You get vision that you *shouldn't* have, giving you vital information if you are planning an attack, and rendering the turret as useless... as it doesn't shoot at anything. Sometimes it can take so much time of spamming stop on the turret before it starts firing at the obs; SC is obviously a fast paced game, so you can't afford to just be spamming stop on your turret for 20 secs and crossing your fingers...

If they do manage to pull it off, it really isn't hard to locate unless you are truly horrible. A toss did it to me when I was illegal and I remember making an effort to report him >_> | ||

No person with any sense will ever even use this bug because the other player can easily kill the ob anyways. And yes it's allowed in korea. I think there was some mishap when a pro used it in a tourney where it was banned and he got DQed or they had to play the match over. It should be allowed imo because no one is gonna use it anyways. | ||
