Basically, this video is a quick demonstration of how you can gas steal someone even when they have a probe on hold position to stop you from doing so.

Just go out of vision range, issue a build command on the geyser that you're trying to build on, and watch as your OP probe (actually, this works with every race in every match-up) takes the geyser anyway. This works best offensively, as if you're trying to take a gas defensively (i.e. the enemy worker is holding position at YOUR geyser), then you'll always have vision because of your nexus...but, in this situation, you can just shoo his probe away with your workers anyways.

Good luck, and have fun!

  • @forgiven12 they're not "lazy", they use -hold position-.

  • Kinda noobish tactics imho because It's just 75 minerals to build the assimilator anyway. I haven't seen any pros having lazy probes next to the gas.

  • @Peekayismad you. mad. /b/ro roody poo candyassgot

  • @1800akatsuki the only thing thats obvious is that you are a complete douche

  • Oh, I definitely learned something from this.

  • How do you counter that , imbaaaa!

  • @EgilBarland87 its so obvious i cant believe you idiots couldn't figure it out from playing.

  • @zepyromancer Just build your own gas there and cancel it if you want =D

  • I mean you can just build on the gas, but very cool for ppl who actually do this!

  • That's a bug if anything. Why? because you are not supposed to be able to build when you have vision, as you approach, vision is gained and should cancel that.
