They are definitely not banning anyone for this.

Replay of me doing this against a gold protoss.
I steal both his gas and he goes 2gate forge. Please pardon the terrible reaper micro, but you get the idea.

It seems like this isn't a threat against good toss who correctly block their gas, but below diamond it seems to have a decent win rate.

If I were you I would not post this.
Blizz can ban people that uses glitch.


You're way off the mark.
Blizzard has real hacks to ban.
Give this exposure!
A build is not a guess, an estimation or a hunch, a feeling, or a foolish intuition. A build is a dependable, unwavering, unarguably accurate, portrayer of your ambition.

Oh dear god, plz no.

This is pretty crazy though, SC2 doesn't have many glitches in it. Finding one is really cool :D


Well to be honest i would really like it. like the first 5-10 minutes in most games there is nothing to cast or to see... such a neat little micro battle would be awesome xD


Problem is that if it works there is no micro battle, the terran simply wins because the protoss cannot tech. 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.

About time this happened. As a BW terran, I was so pissed off when a stupid little probe would come into my base and gas steal only to cancel. TAKE THAT TOSS

It would be beautiful to see blizzard embarrassed by having this done in a widely broadcast pro game. Even better if a terran could win the game because of it.

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 guys do know if you wanted to gas block your opponent that badly you can just hug the geyser >_>?
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).

again, this only works against the ai. Against a real opponent the scv will block all building construction.

This definitely does not need a fix. 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.

What? How is it imbalanced for Protoss? Is it really hard to do what i just said? You just pull 2 fucking probes pal. If you cant do this, you deserve losing.

Would be so much fun if a Pro used it to win DH. Patch would follow, but hey, a win is a win. 5RR anyone?

There is no way this is considered an interesting game mechanic anyway
It's a bug, and a boring one at that.

I don't want to see this patched. The moment you see 2 SCV's enter the base at that timing there is basically one thing they could be going for, apart from in your face double proxy raxing. The moment you see 2 SCV's enter vision, cancel the building probe and take a gas, problem solved.

Can the SCV still move around after he's in the middle of the geyser?

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 build just got featured on Will Cheese Fail on possibly "the most epic When/Will cheese fail game of all time".
http://www.twitch.tv/lifesaglitchtv/c/2221889
Part of the hilarity is from the surprise of seeing the trick for the first time, but it is a good game none the less.
