Thanks for this reply. I play a lot with Feedback and on this map it's a pretty effective strategy. The preconditions are simple:
- Try to boost your scrambler to 2 health if possible
- Make sure it is hidden from view until you strike
- Only use your scrambler when you have a lot of wits to follow up or create a breach with other units (vide0gamer had 14 hits on turn 40)
- Make sure you scramble something that will actually kill something

On a side note, in turn 43 you were still on the winning side, with vide0gamer down to only two units. It was not the brainwash that won this game for vide0gamer, but the push in turn 48.
