Blinking is a form of short-range teleportation.
Through augmentation, stalkers are able to blink. This improved mobility allows stalkers to conduct ambushes, catch fleeing foes, and generally engage on their own terms[1] Zeratul also possesses this ability,[2][3] as did the hybrid destroyer Maar.[4]
Use
Stalkers instantly teleport over short distances. This allows stalkers to strike from unexpected quarters, catch fleeing foes, or escape unfavorable encounters.

Trivia
Prior to StarCraft II, the warden hero of Warcraft III: The Frozen Throne used a teleportation ability, also called "Blink".
The shadow step ability from Blizzard's Overwatch setting bears resemblance to blink in both visuals and function.
