All credit goes to Crota (aka BlizShouter) for pointing this out in one of his casts. So go sub him!
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:

i think choyafou did this in the GSL i remember artosis being shocked because he didn't know it could be done

Let's all hope Blizzard patches this hack.
|
didn't it get patched in 1.2.0?

I've known about using building placement to glitch through walls for a while. It's a decent application for using that cannon rush to eventually push INTO their base and you can get your probe back inside after it's protected.
Not particularly game breaking though, in my opinion.

I thought Blizzard will patch something so the pylon chocke block would not be possible anymore...? So this might not work after the patch?

This is far from a Hack, and from what I can tell you've watched little to no Brood War, if you had you would know this was from BW aswell.

Yeah, that's right, he cannon-contained someone and then used the trick to squeeze the probe in. It's been around for a while, iirc.

Yeah, the same glitch was around back in BW. A lot of the maps had mineral blocks that required players to use this trick to scout.
Pretty nifty glitch that's useful in some situations.

I really don't think Blizzard's going to change this mechanic, but who knows.

Considering that Pylonblocking is soon being patched, it doesn't really matter anymore.
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.

I don't believe this is actually "patchable." The motion the probe makes when a building is laid down near it is a fundamental to all sc2 units.

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.

This had been shown long before Choyas game. It isn't really new at all.
