Solid play - turtling to death til you get an invincible deathball, which is arguably the most boring and abusive strategy a protoss can execute - CHECK Getting massively raped in game 2, thus showing how FLAWED his game is and how superior his opponent was compared to him - CHECK Realising he can't overpower his adversary and finally resorting to an early push with what's most retarded about this game - FORCEFIELDS - CHECK As a protoss player, i was incredibly embarassed to see a fellow gamer play this way.

Not Crunchers fault that IdrA is weak against people who don't play to his expected playstyle. If everyone played the same standard boring way, then this game would be just that, boring. | ||

You vastly misunderstood my point. I agree that every strategy is viable when it comes to a tournament with monetary gain up the line. I'm suprised a whole fanclub was erected on CrunCher's performance, and said performance was actually poor. He defeated a very strong opponent using very strong (let's not get delusional, it is beyond "very" strong) builds, and IdrA surely expected what CrunCher showed us last weekend as build possibilities. When it comes to different ways to play, to being creative, protoss favorably comes first, but if you, as a player, can only demonstrate standard ways to play(yea well what the eff? How was CrunCher's style of play not the "same standard boring way"?), then you've not shown anything impressive and, in this case, are getting way more recognition for something you've realised by bullshitting your way through the tournament. | ||

Good job making this thread a idra-hate club rather than CrunCher fanclub. This thread was created after he beat IdrA which is just.. roflmfao. I don't like idra haters, I despise people who hide it. | ||

I don't like idra haters, I despise people who hide it. Cruncher is a new guy on the scene, he had not done that much before those showmathes/FXO and TSLs first round. After he made it to ro16 as a huge underdog (not an underdog skillwise, but rather popularity wise, votes were vastly in idras favor) when lots of great players could NOT make it into ro16 people opened up their eyes for Cruncher more. Hint: Players are appreciated after reaching out more and more to the public. Did you know that adelscott also received his fanclub after beating MVP? Why aren't you in his thread saying "Lawl at u guys, this is just an MVP-hate thread!!" ? Get a clue. | ||

Whatever, shit happens User was temp banned for this post. I know, how dare this guy use viable tactics and whatever it takes to win, whether that is a long macro game, cheese or other things. Solid play - turtling to death til you get an invincible deathball, which is arguably the most boring and abusive strategy a protoss can execute - CHECK IdrA's play in game 1 was flawed. He attacked far too late and pretty much let CrunCher get his Protoss ball of death constructed, and furthermore let him ignite it into something almost truly indestructible.. Getting massively raped in game 2, thus showing how FLAWED his game is and how superior his opponent was compared to him - CHECK How many Zerg players do you see in reality use drops to the extent IdrA did in game 2? Not many because of the research costs in terms of both minerals, time and vespene gas required to research both Overlord speed and the ability to transport units via Overlord as upgrades. The same goes for Protoss. Why would they want to pump out some expensive Warp Prisms when they could pump out an Observer, Immortal or Collossus at this time instead and bolster their forces up? In fact, the only build that really uses drops the way they were meant to be used are Terran Bio builds. This is because the Medivac is usually the best unit to support a Stimpack-fuelled drop of marines and marauders. CrunCher got caught off guard by something truly unexpected and if I recall, IdrA was really on the offensive in that game, something which he is not known for at all. This doesn't necessarily mean that his game is flawed. So what? Shit happens, he lost a game in a Bo3 against IdrA. It doesn't take away the fact that he is worthy of being a professional gamer that could be a force to be reckoned with in both later rounds of the TSL3, the NASL and any future tournaments he enters. Realising he can't overpower his adversary and finally resorting to an early push with what's most retarded about this game - FORCEFIELDS - CHECK 1) IdrA knew there was an army approaching when a unit of his got killed between the two bases What did he decide to do with his large amount of outstanding larvae in response to this? DRONE THE HELL UP!! 2) It's not THAT easy to wall off Roaches via Forcefields. 3) IdrA could have come out of that battle better than he did, had he spread his roaches to form a more effective concave around his opponent. It was the fact that many of them were clumped into one spot that resulted in the Gracken being surrounded and outranged. 4) Most retarded about this game? If you ask me, when players get denied by forcefields, they were pretty much asking for it in most situations by not doing a spread of their army, or attacking from several fronts. You know? A certain viable military tactic known as flanking By the way, I can see a massive amount of flaws with your arguments that CrunCher sucks. For one, you're basing his gameplay purely on his performance against IdrA which I would say is far from him playing at his best. He also won one of the TL Opens to secure his spot in the tournament, and he has also won victories against notable pros such as MarineKingPrime, Sjow, Kiwikaki, Fenix etc. And his performance in the TL Open proves that he is not just all about stilton. | ||

Get a clue.[/QUOTE] Because if you look at the Adelscott fanclub thread you can clearly see there is 0 hate towards his opponent. Unlike this thread. I really hope CrunCher picks up his game and get to the top level tho. Kinda tired of those mondaine nice guy personalities. CrunCher MC and IdrA interviews are the best. | ||

That said, I came here because I wanted to know a bit more about Cruncher, his playstyle etc but almost everything I see is about IdrA :/ Try to take your fanclub serious and praise your idol instead of bashing a random player no one really cares about. | ||
