Can someone explain these things to me? Honestly I just don't understand things like this. What is the reasoning behind it?

So because Idra is always BM its ok, but when someone else BM's because they were disrespected(you know, being called a walkover) it's not ok. It's hypocrisy, nothing else.

Just stop arguing with IdrA fans. They'll try to reason in any way possible to keep IdrA up on a pedestal and villainise the other guy. Let it lie.

I don't know dude, there's a difference between passive BM and aggressive BM. Not to mention, Cruncher in a sense lowered himself to IdrA's level... find it hard that anyone would praise Cruncher for that.


There's also a huge, overwhelming difference between bm frustration over losing and bm'ing somebody while knocking them out of a tourny.

The first games yesterday had Resources (gas\supply\minerals) showing of both players up in the right corner at all times regardless of who was being targeted. But when first series was done or something it stopped yesterday, and its not there today either, anyone know why\please fix it? it was really awesome to have.

Cruncher could have kept his stupid mouth shut and right now we would be debating Cruncher's true skill level instead of his ability to type a smiley face. He just showed the immaturity of a 10 year old who just beat their big brother in super mario.

Cruncher completely outclassed IdrA. Fact is fact


Or not, he abused sad things, we saw why IdrA is so much better in game 2.

The map lends itself to such a drop, we've seen it quite a few times before. I don't think Cruncher was aware of it. The other two games really showed Cruncher's skills and understanding of the game. It really appeared superior to IdrA.


Of course....let's take a look.
Game 1: Idra is 50 supply ahead, only noticable mistake was not getting hive fast enough. Idra has 7 bases vs Cruncher's 3, Idra has creep spread all over the map, and Cruncher makes void rays, collusus, survives some pushes from Idra(which he couldn't really attack up the ramp anyway) and then attacks and wins. Definitely shows that Cruncher is better......
Note this isn't about balance, just saying that Zerg doesn't have the answer to voidray/collusus right now, even with infestors.

Game 2: Idra completely outplays Cruncher with multi pronged attacks, 200 vs 100 food, 100 vs 50 food.

Game 3: Cruncher 6 gates and wins, then bm's Idra after all inning.



6 gate is not all in. At all.


I didn't really want to engage in this discussion but just a quick note. It can be all in if he commits to the attack and loses the army. If he plays smartly and doesn't lose the army/sentries then yea it's not all in.

So can be non all in but it's far riskier than other builds if it fails.


The game is risky, you can't turtle forever without your opponent realizing it. An all-in is when you commit all your forces and workers to the attack with nothing left. What you think is an all-in is actually a strong timing attack.

Why are this games played in 1.3 and CrunCher's games no???
With an average game length of 7m36s over his 6 games in GSL3, this is a no-brainer. BitByBit pulls more SCVs than yo momma at a club on Mar Sara. ♞

I don't know if you would consider this praise, but I would say Idra deserved it. Also, Idra exhibits all forms of BM, so it's not exactly passive vs aggressive.

I suppose the players are given a range of time to finish the games. eg they must finish the games 1 week before scheduled broadcast time. Some people schedule it after 1.3 is out, some before.

luck of the draw.

Game 1: Idra lets Cruncher build up a Deathball and gets 1a:d.... Second game, macro/micro game and cruncher gets COMPLETELY outclassed, showing that Idra is clearly the better player.

Game 3... six gate................

To top it all, Cruncher does a smileyface in the end.

I honestly think it's just pathetic, I guess Cruncher is really proud that he won with a six gate...

If IdrA indeed is the better player he should not lose in a BO3


Lol what? Bo3 isn't a very good sample size for determining the better player.

Im sure i could beat a pro in a best of 3, with some luck and gimmicky builds. Though it wouldn't mean anything.

Had Idra just lost a best of 7 there would be almost no excuse. Though best of 3's do not always yield the better player.

Ironically, Cruncher did turtle forever in game 1 and still won O.o
Troll face. I truly believe had game 1 been on 1.3 it would've gone differently, since IdrA could have had a more effective way to punish the mass voidrays.
