Starcraft II Zerg Cocoon Snipe Test

Yes, when a Cocoon is sniped or otherwise killed before it hatches, the resource cost is refunded. This is the same as killing Terran and Protoss buildings while they're training or researching something.

in your comments it says that the cost is refunded. Ya that doesn't happen. If you kill a building while it's researching/creating a unit, you lose those resources.

[TerrorBlack]

@TheTron56 do you not see the costs being refunded at the top of the screen? That was the whole point of this video

[Recon4121]

@SilverPotatoXL Not if thats an ultralisk in that egg.

[SilverPotatoXL]

Huge waste of a ghost.

[JordanBo0]

@TerrorBlack if the whole point of the video is to see the cost being refunded.. why is your title "Zerg Cocoon Snipe Test"? and not "cocoon destroyed refund test?

[TimEddyHughes]

The refund effect was removed when they removed killing the egg refunding larva.

One storm. All gone

[TheTron56]

@TerrorBlack I was saying that because this clearly doesn't happen anymore. As it likely has been patched. Seeing as how this video is a year old this is probably from the beta.

@SilverPotatoXL

But what if the enemy s about to spawn an ultralisk or something useful?

On second thought, how can you know what he's gonna spawn?

[RaytorX]

very good to know a ghost can actually kill an egg in time

[Teheleri]

@Recon4121 because so many people make ultralisks the moment they get overrun by ghosts... NOT

[WingChroniam]

@Recon4121 so true.
