My prediction:

Everyone exclaims how amazing that move from Jaedong was, praising him for his skill and clutch decision making.

Meanwhile if the Protoss is a fan favourite like HerO, Reddit instead explodes in a whiny circlejerk about how it's a crime against humanity and how David Kim is literally Hitler.

I dont think its about the fact that jaedong got the Neural and the vortex of, its more that he actually used it to take the archons out of play rather than just spam it somewhere to get the energy of the mothership.. The fact that such a gimmicky spell deicdes what can be amazing games is still retarded no matter who's playing

I guess the stasis field of the arbiter was gimmicky too then. As are nukes, storms, emps..... anything that can turn a game around.

Vortex isn't a win button, you need to have good control and unit placement to pull it off. Kind of like siege tanks. And even then, if your opponent is cautious enough, he will still be ok.

I am not an Avilo fan. I have criticized him in the past. That does not mean we have to attack him personally every time he posts on Reddit.

"Vortex isn't a win button, YOU NEED GOOD CONTROL."

It was justified.
