Second Stargate is going up for Violet, who is pumping out of 6 Gateways now. His first Arbiter is out, too. Light elevators some Vultures over into Violet's base, but they're stopped by some Zealots without dealing any major damage. A Pylon wall between Violet's 3rd and 2nd trap the last Vulture there.

Violet is taking his 4th at 11. His force continues to grow with more and more Arbiters being added.

Light's Science Facility is flashing, presumably EMP upgrade. He's lined his base with a ring of turrets.

Violet catches 3 tanks in the center of the map and brutally slaughters both them and their drivers. He adds 4 more Gateways in his base.

Light's slowpushing out of his base, setting up position between his 2nd and 3rd with tanks and turrets.

Violet's taking his 5th at 4 as well.

I don't. I made my case earlier; Skyhigh has never reached an individual league, and has mediocre TvZ and bad TvP. People say he's borderline S-class. Hence; overrated.

Probably because his first ever time going for a league through offlines, he made it, and he made it THROUGH BOTH 12-0. He didn't spend a year trying to make it.

He's always been a player with nerves, or inconsistency, or a combination of the two. On a good day he all kills in a final or can school best TvP, and on a bad day he loses to ggaemo 0-2. His TvT is extremely solid and TvZ/TvP very shaky. How can you bring up individual leagues when he shouldn't have achieved half the things he has for how long he's been playing?

It is true he is nowhere near S-Class (except TvT)

Violet Recalls into Light's main and then Stasises units in Light's choke to prevent reinforcements from arriving. However, Light has also dropped 11. Violet barely manages to defend it - the Nexus has 10 HP left.

Violet defends his weakened 4th with a number of Cannons. His army is of decent size and he has map control of the center.

Light is slowly crawling down the bottom of the map. Violet engages the tanks, but his Arbiter gets EMPed and he's forced to retreat. Light starts pushing towards the 4 base.

Light has also started to put pressure on another one of Violet's bases at 12, but Violet takes care of that quickly. Light's push down bottom has reached the 4 base and all the Probes there die.

Violet's army starts moving down the center of the map, but 4 has already fallen.

A tank and 2 vulture drop from Light takes down the almost-dead Nexus at 11 as well.

Violet has 2 Forges upgrading. Unfazed by the loss of his Nexus at 11, he replaces it without losing a beat. He also proceeds to lose a High Templar to a mine. He's seeking to take the center expo as well.

Fleet Beacon is going up for Violet, and dual Cores are spinning Air upgrades for the Carrier switch. Violet hallucinates Arbiters and prepares to go in for a Recall in Light's base.

Light EMPs the Arbiters, but the real one manages to make it through. Violet Recalls on a number of mines, but the sheer surprise factor deals enough damage. Light loses all of the turrets that were defending and now has to rebuild them for fear of being Recalled again.

Violet recalls at Light's attempt to take a base at 4. Violet's force that took out 4 is pushing down the bottom side of the map, but it's dealt with easily.

Light sloppily loses a Vessel to Cannons. He starts pushing towards Violet's center expo, but Storms and Violet's army takes out the push before the Nexus can go down.

Still no sign of the Carriers, although Violet's Arbiters are certainly more resilient with the upgrades!

Light sends some Vultures to harass Violet's 12 expansion. They kill a good number of Probes before they die. He also finally mops up the force that took out his 4 base.
