SCV Stack Bug

[s]starcraft[/s]Select 12 workers, press shift. Then keep pressing shift and right click same time to a mineral patch, then when they are all grouped, right click to your empty gas geiser until you see message of waypoint is full. Them while still holding shift, press attack mode or type a, and send you workers to attack. All your workers will move out stacked on top of each other.

Can this be abused? Yes. Read this thread at TL.net forums of how Sweden Malmis describes how some one owned him with this bug » Malmis owned and watch this » replay of another example that shows the abuse of this bug with perfection. Bottom line, if Zerg does not place an early sunken before second hatch, or go early pool, with this bug Zerg is doomed to suffer and be at the mercy of the stack SCV rush.

This is not strictly a bug, since it follows all the original micro AI intent of the units involved. I suspect this bug is much older than we give it credit. I think it has simply has been discovered rather late but that it is possible even with 1.09 patch.

Broodwar.nm.ruI found this news and the replay at http://broodwar.nm.ru/, A small site dedicate to BULGARIAN MAPS AND REPLAYS. It has a couple of good melee maps and a few replays featuring top Bulgarian players. I believe Replay.hu had another example of this bug but it's currently down.
