Anyway it works great for photon cannon rush cheese, but I imagine there could possibly be other uses for it. The best way to explain it is to post a video, so here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MnhrbSvYgm4 Edit: In case you're interested in the replay for strategy purposes: Replay | ||

On a side note, that has been around for a while, and yes, ChoyafOu did this in GSL, but Tastless' vision only skirts it, you see the probe going into the main and the leftovers from the cancled Pylon. Anyways, it exists at least since release. | ||

So you are calling almost every player in the GSL a noob? Probably half of TL too which played BW at some point? BW is harder than sc2.... have some respect for people playing BW since they are also dedicated enough to play such an old game for so long. | ||

So this might not work after the patch? they really didn't change it much. it still only takes 3 2x2 buildings to block a choke, the ONLY difference is that now instead of being able to attack the cannon with only 1 melee unit, you can use 2. but that is pretty nifty | ||

Should it be patched? not in my opinion because you can design maps around these type of things which makes the game more interesting. | ||

OT: Its a nice trick, but this isn't game breaking even in the slightest. Even in that video alone, you can clearly see that he could just have cancled the second cannon and moved the probe through, and the situation would be exactly the same. On top of that: if that probe dies, you have lost the game. | ||

That same motion happens when you have zerglings in the way of a hatchery - the motion is due to building placement. And it happens with all units. | ||

I hope this kind of stuff doesn't get patched yet....I don't see this as very game breaking since the pylon change. | ||

While, yes, this may be possible in brood war too, it was pretty awesome to watch. Less sc2 hate please. On topic - I saw this in the choya game, and was wondering how he did this. Thanks! | ||

Well in bw the bug was okay since it worked for all 3 races, atleast through mineral patches. Well terran could land barracks and squeeze alot of units through a mineral patch or i think spidermines worked as well. I think now only toss could do it and maybe terran with a bit of scw movement luck. | ||

I used this alot in PvZ when I had Steppes not voted down. On shakuras it can be very good when you open forge first and your oponent hatches first. This way you can get a probe in to scout what he is doing. Is he droning, is he expanding at the back? Is he trying to blingbust? With the information you get by sending a probe in this way you can easily counter everything while expanding and outmacroing :p EDIT: In bw this was also very common. Some map layouts were made so that you needed the trick to scout or rush your opponent. | ||

I didn't know this was possible in SC2 still. I play Zerg so I never really thought about it, but I guess it's something I'll have to watch out for when Protoss blocks my ramp :O | ||

They're fixing the wall-off issue, but I hope they don't fix this little trick. It's not necessarily cheesy, and it adds a bit of depth to the game. It's nice seeing when the pros have all sorts of tricks up their sleeves. And also, "glitching" units to go where they shouldn't has been around for ages, and is an important strategy point to be aware of. | ||
