Before this series, I always give Cruncher credit, I think hes quite good, but after this PvP, well its true that people saying Cruncher is not that good.
Really, his 2 wins are by BO wins but his micro is terrible, his game sense is bad. Cruncher is B class Protoss at most.

Finally Boxer is here!!! Hope lag will not be the problem in the up coming matches.

why do people think cruncher is a bad player? He beat idra, he beat mondragon, he just went 2-3 vs naniwa, he beat oGsinca 2-0 (FXO invite), he beat kiwikaki and fenix to qualify (i believe), he's rank 2ish on the grandmaster ladder...

Glad Nani went through, definitely think he's the stronger player and has the potential to take the whole tourney. I'm not a Cruncher fan, but you've gotta give it to him, he played well.

Now Hasu vs Boxer! So excited for this match!

Very, very entertaining games! I wish all games were PvP, it's such an awesome matchup!

Matchups enjoyed by me:

PvP: 100%
PvZ: 70%
PvT: 70%
ZvZ: 20%
TvZ: 10%
TvT: 0%

Anyone agree?

My thoughts exactly, he must have known Naniwa would commit with the 4gate, if he juts focussed on pumping units he would've won. Not one of the best decisions

I guess he expected Nani to cut investment towards Blink earlier, and thus cut for tech earlier himself.

Robo was too early. He should have sticked to defensive 4 gate a little bit longer. That robo costed him 1 sentrie and two zealots. If he had that additional sentrie, he could have held it off, because he needed like 3 seconds to FF ramp a third time.
