of course if the zerg can somehow get in then just GG right then and there. there will be no way in hell u can stop it or recover from it if the lings manage to get inside ur base. even of all the lings die the zerg can just set up a expansion since there is a near 100% your economy will be destroyed. im sure it will defiantly be patched in patch 10 and im certain this is why larva was destroyed when you canceled a egg. | ||

It can be stopped but in order to do that you have to sacrifice massive amount of economy, that means on 4 player maps its basically a guessing game if you win, cause if you defend against the rush and they expo its GG there too. | ||

If you insist on laddering now against zerg, have that probe ready to finish an airtight wall. You really also should be getting that forge earlier, anyway, because of the possibility of all in 13 pool 18 hatch speedling. Terrans should really be fine since they have their wall up anyway. | ||

That way, if you misclick, you can get your larva back right away, but you can't use eggs as a store of readily available larvae. You could still do some production tricks, but they would be more costly. Another way to do it would be to have a few seconds of "oops" time where you can revert them to larvae, but then they pass a point of no return and can only be cancelled into puddles of goo. | ||

But I see no reason to abuse with this bug, as it will be fixed, and the rankings mean nothing. And i see no reason to stop playing ladder because of this bug. The more fair players continue playing, the less we will meet abusing zerg players. Plus, if you play against an abusing Zerg, 1:55 is not a big loss of time. | ||

10pylon at ramp, 10gate at ramp, scout the build, stop making probes, build forge, CB zealot, cannon, bring some probes down, CB zealot, hold the rush gg. I didn't wall off completely, but I could have... it probably would have been better actually. | ||

What's the point of trying to metagame this? It's not a cheese, it's a bug/exploit. Until it's fixed, people just need to know how bad it is,and a way to give themselves a chance against abusers. If someone bothers to plan out a full late game decision tree based on a soon to be fixed bug, they're wasting their time. | ||

It should be checking every time the larva spawns and not the way it checks right now. Excellent idea. On April 23 2010 18:45 yoshi_yoshi wrote: Just did this vP on scrap station and failed. I feel violated. Wow how the hell did he manage to do that? Did he make cannons? I began playing SC2 3 days ago, never played RTS on a competitive level and got Platinum rank #1 thanks to this glitch. Never seen a protoss player able to stop it, unless I made a huge mistake (like accidently letting the drone get built). BTW hope you guys aren't mad. At first I was like let's not play until it's fixed, but then I decided I'd at least learn some zergling micro management (played against zerg doing the same, that's mad fun) + hotkeys + could say that I've been on the top of the ladder :D If there's any protoss player here who can stop (or thinks he can stop) it on scrap station, and wants to practice, PM me. (I can only play US server currently) | ||

if there are ever any more than 3 larvae at a hatchery, kill extraneous larvae till it's down to 3. Exception is if the larvae spawned from Queen's Spawn Larvae ability. | ||
