Yes it can be stopped easily but that isn't exactly the argument for keeping a glitch in the game... Little micro wars that are in the game because of glitches and unintended use of mechanics add something interesting to the game, actually. And besides, why remove it when it's so easy to stop? | ||

I would be willing to bet a good portion of some classic game elements were not intended but found by players. Some of them are pretty funny too:  Competitive RulesApproved Glitches
Drops to defuse mines Mineral walk Hold lurker Larvae Move Illegal Glitches
Flying drones and templars Terran sliding buildings A bug which allows your units to remain stacked while moving/attacking Allied mines Some were more abusive than others and beyond the musings about double gas blocking toss with SCVs I really don't see it having a huge impact on anything beyond slightly delaying an SCVs death at a cost of 25 Minerals for the cancel. Not to mention it isn't doable 100% of the time. Just a funky trick. If they patch it fine, if not, I am not losing sleep about it. | ||

Even if it occurs rarely but what is a protoss supposed to do after double gas block with scv's? | ||

The Op says that he has trouble reproducing it consistently, so this is hopefully fairly unlikely. As an aside, it's typical to take your other gas immediately if one of them is stolen so this (or another type of block) cannot occur. | ||

It is no longer possible for SCVs to be left inside of a vespene geyser after canceling an under-construction Refinery. Patch 2.08: http://sea.battle.net/sc2/en/blog/566305/StarCraft_II_Patch_208_Notes_-5_6_2013 | ||

If you see 2 SCVs coming just make an extractor and you will not have trouble so just react correctly and you are fine. If they actually get the thing up as Zerg just make a queen and it will kill the SCVs. If you are protoss make a forge and an expansion and you will be fine. If you are terran just make a marine and you are fine. | ||
