Fail viper ;;

He built it at the wrong base. If he had built it in the main, I think he might have somehow won the game with the viper. But it would have been hard as hell anyway.

why didnt SK just focussed the 4 nexi at the start of the base trade? killing pylons and stuff should be lower priority imo.

That's really clever, actually. I think it should've worked, had he built it at the correct base, he'd be able to snatch a stalker and wait around.

na, abduct. Blinding clouds are small and stalkers fast anyways. Meanwhile the archon more or less wants to be in melee range anyways.

He had to engage sometime right? Would take to long to kill everything Zest had left because he was heading to SK final structures.

Stalkers one by one I believe, which would've been hilarious to see it blink away again
