See thats the thing at tournaments, not a lot of people will know what to do when you put them in setups like these. Ive caught numerous "high level" players in tournaments with setups. Ive even caught "the best sub-zero" in america (lol) in setups.
I agree with Marvaz here. I mean, just because you CAN espace does not mean that a player knows how to in a tournament setting. Testing the opponents knowledge of obscure and not common set ups is common in tournaments.
Here is where I agree with TB though. In REO's video, he clearly stated that under no circumstances can the opponent escape by jumping forward. After watching TB's video you see that REO was mistaken. If you watch REO's video you have no idea that the clone disappears once the ex ice puddle begins to form. One can escape by just getting up, and then jumping over the puddle on reaction, and punishing with a full combo. This makes this trap useless to someone who knows how to escape because of the fact that there is no mix up. There is a universal escape that can be executed on reaction to seeing the ex ice puddle.
I agree that this can still be useful because I doubt most players will escape this trap, so on this point I agree with Marvaz's post and say good stuff to REO on showing this trap in your vid. Where I agree with TB is that REO did not say you could escape by jumping forward. I seriously doubt that REO tried to spread bad info by intentionally being incorrect on the escape, I just think he did not know. In his video he showed the player jumping forward into the clone and stated that there is no way to escape by jumping forward. This we find is actually false, honest mistake. IMO, both REO and TB showed useful information. REO showed a trap that can be useful if the opponent does not know how to escape, TB showed a universal escape that any character can do.
One thing this "video war" showed me for sure, there is always good stuff being discovered by good players regardless on if they are considered an "expert" on the character or not. It also shows that TB is THE expert on Sub-Zero and that perhaps maybe players should DISCUSS strats and anti strats like civilized people to get all the accurate information out there, rather then acting like little kids in a video war.
