Fantastic play. Stealing other players' add-ons has been a cunning TvT trick since Starcraft 1, but I love the idea of hovering over something you're expecting to do a lift-off switch. Very creative and quick-thinking.
@alextfish Wouldn't say it's a trick because it literally never happens in multiplayer, plus each add-on was specialised to a certain production building. It was only really used in that campaign mission.
@K2Pikachu They made a Terran campaign mission for it in BW where you hijack the rival faction's add-ons, but many SC2 players don't know you can still do this.
@Protonoid he was trying for a banshee openeing. Don't forget sterling stole a tech lab and that takes away from unit producing time as well as resources.
@BaileysBeads not really cheese, he wasn't going to be using the barracks early anyway. A starcraft barracks costs 150 mins, a scv costs 50. Many players sacrifice their scouting scv in the early go anyway so a barracks is much more valuable scouting wise on a close map and it can easily be pulled back before it is killed off.
@MairouTV Grandmaster was definitely cheesing. It was an all-in build with one marine, 2x port banshee rush and he was playing blind. It's almost the definition of cheese.
@Strand0410 I was talking about Sterling.. stealing tech lab not cheese. Also grandmaster didnt cheese. Banshee opening is very common strategy @ TvT, especially on this map ( very close air, long ground distance) btw where do you see 2x starport ? He wasnt playing completely blind, both players didnt scout with SCV becouse you just lose so much economy becouse of the long walking distance. Sterling scouted with barracks and grandmaster scanned enemys base about 5:16 ingame time.
3:49 WTF man i didnt know thats possible!!!

it isnt even wasted because the barracks is half the cost of a scan (wich brings you 240 mins over time) and gets you a great scout! XD
