pretty obviously illegal

the best way to counter is to not directly engage. try to mess up the scv ai - after he stacks them and attack moves them to your base, he can't issue any more commands or else they'll spread out again. the same happens if they switch targets too much or stray too far from the pack, so just move lings in and out of scv range to confuse them. even if all the scvs don't completely unstack, it buys you lots of time to make more units and you can still pick off the strays. if you've successfully unstacked his scvs, consider taking your own gas so that he can't restack them.

if you lose on iccup, just report the game and you'll get a win anyway.

its same as those fking people who use allied mines to lure you into mass spalsh damage areas, and for people who say "then why is allied mines banned but hold lurkers allowed?" :
vulture mines have no button set, thus are not ment to be commanded stuff after being burrowed, they are plain ai units much like scarabs (just imagine allied scarab trouble lol), while a high apm player could emulate the hold-lurkers effect by using permanently stop-lurker, which is a command u can give the lurker via his normal button interface, thus the holdlurker glitch just makes stuff easier to do like mutastacking, while allied mines and worker-stacking-attack-move-across-the-map adds new behaviour which cant be emulated by 'normal' button commands at all.. hope that makes clear why some things are 'useful glitches' and others are considered 'illegal bugs'...

think its just like the canceling hatch bug, where if you rally a morphing hatch then cancel it and the drone dies, then the game crashes. Thats intentional dropping.
