As observers you have to remember that select doesn't have the vision we do, he probably had no idea that 109/200 of crunchers supply was all probes. After you wipe the opponent's army you at least push an expansion or something. He literally wiped the army. All the colossi + ground forces, nothing like retreated and was defending. Select was sitting on like 30-40marauders 12 vikings and like 6-8 medivacs. He couldve at least pushed up. | ||

Cruncher playing like a dumbfuck lategame, but select can't really capitalize on army advantage when protoss has 35 gateways + chrono and 4 robos producing Edit: Select didn't play well either but cruncher got a big advantage after he got away with a really risky late robo build Late robo isn't risky. And no race can captalize on an army advantage when the other has five bases mining to your half a base | ||

That really doesn't excuse crunchers first game battle that went terribly because of his engagement positions and decisions. If select wouldve just pushed the advantage the game could very well evened out or be won outright by select. | ||

They seem like a pretty unimpressive team overall, kept alive by the joke that is 2v2. | ||

Just try to remember, select doesn't have the vision you do, and there was a lot on the line for him that game.

There's a lot more factors then you seem to think there is. Did you forget about the fact that cruncher's army's must've looked suspiciously small to select? Or how about that fact that select was worried about DT's being warped into his main when his army moved out? Theres a lot more mind games in play, especially when losing that game to something as foolish as being caught off guard by DT's would cost his team $1000. | ||

It was quite literally a 100 food army vs 170food army, the smallest mistake in engagement means that Cruncher gets rolled. But that doesn't matter, all he has to do is to just kill units whilst hes on Selects side of the map because he can resupply and Select can't. EDIT: SelecT couldn't push out also. What was he going to do? Start pushing through endless waves of DT warpins? Sure he might kill a ton but he will eventually lose everything and leave his orbitals completely dry | ||
