well protoss players back then said " zerg can just micro and one day mothership vortex will be useless and pvz will be so imba *cry*cry*"
now terrans say "zergs might eventually be THAT good at spreading their air units that HSM won't be careful anymore"
and what did protosses do?
they continued using vortexes and it still worked even if they didnt kill 100% of the broods anymore
terrans just need to do it so they at least force the zerg to micro and it will still be impossible to minimize the splash enough that HSM would be useless
did you ever try to micro corrupters and broodlords
I tried that back when i still played terran and wondered why zergs always mess up their BL/corruptor spread vs vortex so badly
it's fricking impossible to spread them ans still have them attack at the same time
It's not a problem to spread them and have them sit idle in the back but that is not what you want to happen either

Did someone forbide him to scout? And anyway, couldn't he guess that Mvp was doing this transition? Since mass Ghosts no longer exists there are not many other possibilities...

Any unit is good if you know how to use it .. MVP just proved it ... stop saying "Was because of the map, the units, the drops ..."
A pro player will make an Unit work in a game by aplying his strategies ...
So basically learn to play the game.

There is a big difference between splitting against protoss and terran.
Against terran, if you spread too much, your BL can get picked off one by one by vikings. Against protoss, only blinks stalkers can kill stray BL and even then, they often stay so close to the rest that they get fungaled or killed by broodlings.
I don't think there is that much you can do on this map at that point in the game, you can't attack because of those high grounds preventing you from fungaling the vikings and you can't really defend once the battlecruisers are out.
I really hate this map, it's bad in pretty much every match-up and gets the most boring games when terran don't die quickly in the midgame against zergs...

Air units are inherently much harder to split compare to marines, templars. Also, splitting also hurts your DPS since not all your corrupters will be firing and vikings can kite them back and make them bunched again. Can the zerg players do a better job? Sure. But it is not as easy as it looks.

Yeah. And Protoss do lose games in which they do not manage to get a successful Vortex.

Protoss keep resorting to Vortex it because it is pretty much the only potential way to beat a good Inf/BL player in an engagement. The other is mass upgraded air which is even tougher to pull off.
The only other reliable way I've seen lategame PvZ be played is HerO's warp prism play, which incidentally I'd love to see a bit more, not sure why other people don't exploit the immobility of the composition more a la Terrans.

I agree to a degree. But some units do work better due to geography of the map. That is why you will see meta game shifts due to map changes.
