He "failed" the first immortal push but once again huge trades and he kept his immortals alive 3. You don't get 60 kills on an immortal without SICK micro with the warp prism. Deserved. Dude, if you think loading up a unit in a dropship so it doesn't die and forcefielding so that it can never be hit anyway is really hard to achieve, and if a 60 kill count immortal in that scenario really blows your mind, you really have little to no experience or expertise in what you're talking about lol. It's really easy and if it impresses you it's only relative to your own skill, rather to anything that impresses anyone GM+, or for many masters players. Seriously, Blizzard's own micro challenges are even harder than that. It's a two base all in, it's old and it's what protoss players do all the time. A career pro like herO not fucking up so badly that he lets his immortals die completely unecessarily is really a matter of expected and basic competence than it is any kind of 'incredible feat' from which we may derive a sense of 'deserves to win' based on a 'display of skill'. TBH, herO has first class micro but nothing about executing that all-in will ever demonstrate that lol. | ||

Mistake vary in degree. | ||

You'd think Jaedong fans would be in a similar place by now instead of expecting him to win every tournament and blaming balance when he doesn't. This is the Blizzcon finals all over again. | ||

If you want the thread to be more positive, shout out loud for HerO instead of burning each other. | ||

Asus ROG Numericable M-House Cup HyperX 10 year anniversary. Its pretty lol worthy to compare him to HerO. WCS NA S1 NASL S4 DH Winter DH Winter IPL Fight club MLG Summer quals IPL Season 3 qual 1. FXOpen Invite Not to mention that HerO actually plays in PL and Jaedong plays in .. well nothing really. Not even GSTL. I like how you pad that list with two qualifiers & a fight club win, and conveniently leave out all the semi-final/final finishes for a player who consistently reaches them (over 10 in a year) or that JD did all of this (besides HyperX) in one year where HerO did that over 3-4 years. It's not just devotion from BW, JD is actually one of the best zergs from 2013 in his own right, and one of the most accessible pros at that. I get why people like or dislike him, but discrediting him as simply garnering attention from BW is just silly. Flash had a bigger fanbase going into SC2 and it's pretty safe to say JD's fanbase now eclipses Flash's. | ||
