Lol I really hate IdrA fanboys. You really get mad at that smiley? When IdrA BM it's funny and cool, but damn when someone else does it you guys shit bricks.

whatever Idra may say, that was phenomenal play from Cruncher. The faking 4 gate, into expand, hallucinating pheonixes (after playing pheonixes in the last 2 games) > 6 gate. He got in Idra's head.

So impressed. Phenomenal

The reason cruncher's smiley face is retarded is because, in the opinion of some, he wins because of gimmicky plays or strong unit compositions while getting completely out macrod and outmicrod.
Idra BM's and engages in a straight up macro game to try to see who is better at the mechanics that are supposed to define starcraft.
There is a difference.

Who cares what Cruncher did? Any IdrA fan should be so sad about this because of his own reaction... Why the FUCK would you make those drones? Silliest mistake you can ever make in a situation where you even scouted absolutly everything from the moment Toss walked out his door.

I fucking choked when I saw the production tab...

This is my problem with it. Oh well.

It's actually pretty difficult, because you need to spiral the roaches into the ball perfectly or they get pushed outside the center. give it a try with like 6 roaches on hold position on a custom map... trust me its not easy. However the way cruncher did it, makes me think it was a miss-click that ended up being epic. meh.

My wife is watching I have it on the plasma, bwa-ha. She hates Day 9 so hard.

My only comment on Idra will always just be

Not to whine about balance, more of feeling like it is a bug and should be fixed...
but when units are smashed together like that, they should still at least be able to attack if they are in range of opposing units.
I'm pretty sure blizzard didn't intend for forcefield to be able to bug out units like that so that they cant even attack

Watch all these shitty players that somehow got through. They will just give us horrible games. Would much rather see players like idra (actually good players) make it through to see more good play.

Yay lets watch cruncher in round of 16 just warp gate all in and make some 'clever voidrays'.

Idra just didn't have the correct response to deal with that timing push.

Cruncher didn't do anything special. What exactly won you over? Bming idra is nice though

The personality. A workmanlike attitude. His BM wasn't really BM but just a flare of good personality. I like players that show they're fun to follow. Some players you love for their amazing play. Cruncher just played a good series and handled himself very well. Well mannered in his loss and a well mannered BM in the final game.

Did the GSL veterans just not prepare for the TSL or is there really this much parody in international Starcraft 2 gaming? I'll say a couple of upsets are good for a tournament, but at this rate all the big names will be out except by the next round. It's starting to get disappointing.
