So actually, all HerO had to do was move his probe out of vision for just a second, and then he could've build the assimilator easily.

oh damn, so it means it really is some kind of bug
Of course its a bug, it wasnt a documented change and it messes up replacing hatcheries around larvae as i said earlier
yes, but I still thought it was some kind of neat way to prevent a gas steal, so yeah...
Say HerO would've have been able to get the double gas steal, where do you go from there? just build as your normally would? How much did HerO have in his own base during the attempted steal, just a pylon and a gateway?

Stupid comment. He didn't lose 5 units. He lost 30 supply in 5 seconds due to a misclick.
Sorry, 6-7 units!
Your comment is still stupid. If it's stating the obvious, that he lost "5, 6 or 7 units" and had to GG, it lacks the context of the situation. With all the Protoss imbalance whine lately, it feeds into that narrative--that losing 5 units lead to a GG.
It wasn't just 5 units. It was a colossal fucking misclick (read that both ways) which lead to a 30 supply lost in less than 10 game seconds. Shitty play is rewarded with a loss.

Whoa, that's crazy.
Is that true for the other two races as well?
Yep, it is. Tree and I was testing it on BattleNET before. :-)
