They'd have to get cannons, and place those cannons near the geysers or expand. Both of which would put the toss so far behind it's simply game breaking. Neat little trick, but expect it to be patched out the second it gets complained about by a pro. | ||

TAKE THAT TOSS only to cancel and take it again ... and again ... and again ... then came the dragoons. I loved the gosu probe vids though. can prevent the SCV from building though on most gases, so not really an issue for anyone knowing about this. Gas steals in sc2 just don't work well, because no one needs gas at all cost or can easily grab one before you can grab 2. So they are just opportunity grabs. Unlike BW, where a Terran needed to rush for the Siege tank or Spider mines fast or die. | ||

You can also prevent gas steals by doing that The idea behind this is that you cant kill the SCV though. You can just use 2 probes to build the gas if you just hug the geyser (or simply take the other one). | ||

If the protoss player is smart enough, he can just take 2 probes and "hug" both gas geysers on hold position, then the terran wont be able to build a refinery. lol I play zerg so this doesn't affect me and I'm pretty sure Blizz is gonna patch this. There is no way this is balanced for toss players. | ||

Only real practical application I can see is saving the SCV for a scout from zerglings in TvZ, or at least baiting all the zerglings to focus on it while you send another scout. | ||

this would be so imba to do in tvp. How are you gonna get a ranged unit to kill it when you have no gas? make a cannon ??? | ||
