Picking up units being warped in?!

OK, today, after watching tyler's stream a few days ago and learning about the phoenix pvp strategy, i decided to try it out myself.

I went on ladder, and queued up, waiting for that fateful pvp where i would be able to try my strategy

and there it is. the protoss player

he went 4 gate (well, obviously.....) and I went for my 2 gate stargate, and gave all i had to defend my base. during the battle, he attempted to warp in a zealot on my ramp, to get vision, and i picked it up with my phoenix ( also discovered that my micro was better than i thought), and thats when it hit me.

What happens to a unit when its warping in, and you pick it up with a phoenix? I honestly don't remember, because i was going into a trance trying to micro all my units so i stay alive, so maybe my other phoenixes killed the unit, or maybe my stalkers did, or maybe it stopped warping in, or ... well i honestly don't know.

Does anyone know what happens to a unit that is being warped in, but you pick it up midway through?

this has been frustrating me for an hour now >:@

Watch your replay, then come back and report the results.

Go test it. You can pick up your own units too.

I would imagine nothing spectacular happens - it just finishes warping in in normal time, it's basically still within Pylon range anyway as you can't move it away.

What I'm interested in though is whether it still gives vision to units under the ramp while picked up. I would guess so, but seems like an interesting thing to test.

Yeah I don't see what the purpose of this thread it o.o
If you watch Godzilla backwards it's about a benevolent lizard who helps rebuild a city and then moonwalks into the ocean.

Why not watch your own replay?

But you can pick up warping in units and its pretty normal, the warp in animation continues and then they die.
