May I suggest you write them on YouTube about it?  | ||

Basically when a sunken is in attack range of an enemy building it can legally target (pylon for example), then during the attack animation of the sunken's tongue hitting the ground you can switch targets manually. I forgot of the exact reasoning behind it, but I believe a prerequisite is that the further target you want to attack instead (Bisu's cannon in this case) is attacking something near the sunken, which is why Bisu was trying to micro his cannon to not attack the hatchery continuously, but at odd intervals, to make it more difficult for Soma to exploit the sunken bug. Edit: If Soma's sunken killed that pylon that was (legally) in range, he could no longer exploit the bug to attack Bisu's cannon, so it's possible Bisu was actually spamming stop on his cannon to not attack at all. I'm not going to rewatch it to confirm or deny that though. Either way it was hilarious to watch. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong about the bug. | ||

Imagine if there were a Dragoon bug that makes them shoot as far as siege tank. Surely it has to be banned. | ||

Imagine if there were a Dragoon bug that makes them shoot as far as siege tank. Surely it has to be banned. dragoons actually can make use of the same bug, there was a gif that showcased it but its rare to get off in a real game cause of game state conditions, like its very niche in its use case and other than setting it up you cant really control it since manual commands override it | ||

I mean it should be fixed and/or bannable offence overall, but the game is long gone out of support, however, things like this(another example could be the flying drone) can still be ruled out of tournaments Wasn't the flying drone bug fixed ages ago? There might still be an accidental one you can't exploit, but the shift click gas one hasn't worked in forever. | ||

Because it's passive and doesn't require the player doing anything unnatural, it would be a hard bug to ban. It would need to be patched instead. | ||

I'm not going to rewatch it to confirm or deny that though. Either way it was hilarious to watch. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong about the bug. Pretty close. I'll just add that the sunken bug is a natural reaction of how the game is coded. Mainly that attacks automatically prioritize things that are attacking. It doesn't require the zerg player to do anything special. The sunken does it on its own. This is why it isn't banned in tournaments etc. Edit: Didn't read the above post by Severedevil before posting  | ||

It's still available because it's a tricky bug to fix most probably. Since imagine that it's part of one of the fundamental aspects of the game. | ||
