EPTCan this unit be seen by tanks??
Observer - 1 (2)
Scout - 0 (2)
Observer - 1 (2)
Scout - 0 (2)
This is really crucial. Any unit that can be seen by a tank is vulnerable to attack. I think this question really struck at the meat of the issue.

Dude, nuh uh. Scouts are faster. Plus, scouts are useful versus ANYTHING THAT MOVES. Oh, and...expo drone sniping anyone? You don't need to snipe the hatch if it never gets to morph! Sheesh man. | ||

honestly though, if the scout has the speed upgrad rolled into them right out of stargate, scout would've been a decent investment and we would see much more interesting protoss strategies... | ||

Observer - 0 (2) Scout - 1 (3) Conclusion: Scout wins rapidfire round 3-2, it's pretty clear that a scout has more of what progamers need in a scouting unit. I think most of these questions are not important in real game and pretty useless. Why would a scout gain an advantage because it can take down a nexus? Would a person seriously use a scout or even a group of scouts to take down a nexus? No because it would take forever. The only useful question here asked is 'Can this unit fly by a turret without dying??' ![[image loading]](http://darwin.bio.uci.edu/~sustain/issueguides/Black_Sea/Romania.gif) | ||
