what was the 90 day ban referenced to sjow about?


Cruncher stream cheated against IdrA in a ladder game, and was caught doing it. IdrA called him a waste of a life on the forums here, and got a 2 day ban for it. IdrA then encouraged people to spam PM Chill on his Twitter, and got a 90 day ban for getting people to harass Chill.


My understanding was that he stream-sniped him, but nobody had ever proved in either direciton if he stream cheated... though I don't pay a lot of attention to the e-drama, when possible.

I have not been impressed by Cruncher's engagements so far. The only reason he looked ok in the first game was he had such a ridiculous economic lead. Maybe he'll make up for it in game 3, but go Sjow! Terran woot woot!

Lol what the hell was that Cruncher, way to completely throw away a game.

In-base pylon was cute though, could have worked if it stayed up for another minute or so

I think he's cutely referring to the fact that Sjow didn't actually use or even need stim to win that game.

Cruncher didnt look as bad as ppl make him to be.


He took a massive risk and wasn't punished for it at all, and got a ridiculous early game advantage. It snowballed from there, shows nothing about how good or bad his play is other than he plays very risky.


That's called good decision making.. stop hating


I'm not hating, at all -_-. Notice I didn't say Cruncher played badly or that he didn't play well, I simply said that the game we just watched is not a good indicator of his skill level, whatever it may be. If you play risky and get away with it, even if you're an awful player, you can look pretty good. On the other hand, it's possible that he's practiced this quite a bit and knew it would work, there's just no way to tell from watching that game.


Making decisions is the most important part for this particular game.. i don't know what skills you are referring to, but multitasking and APM are the most overrated assets for SC2, decision making is what distinguishes top from just good players.

Stream sniped***

He already made a clarification that he wasn't watching the game during it, he just played overly safe (i.e he got two gates BEFORE IdrA even showed signs of all-ining on his stream)

this is the cheesiest cheese I have ever seen

everything protoss does is cheese it seems ive long since stopped caring about the QQ

lol I'm not qqing, but that's economic cheese if I've ever seen it.

it gets scouted = he dies
sjow does one of several timings = he dies

why mention cheese then why not say what i was thinking watching that as a protoss player ....oh wow thats different and risky lets see how this game goes!

Well it's not my fault that some sc2 players have retarded connotations to that expression

Cheese used to be defined as something that wins/puts you far ahead for as long as it doesn't get scouted.


I've never heard of it defined that way. Couldn't be right.

Otherwise, if the other player plays blind, his opponent is cheesing no matter what...


no, cheese relies on not being scouted, while other plays aren't cheese because it won't matter much wether you scout it or not.


Huh. I'd rather call it risk taking. Cheese denotes a negative connotation and has a stigma of "unfairness" which sounds really lame in the realm of competitiveness.

You wouldn't call a quarterback sneak cheese.
Hootie hoo!

he has to be really risky to beat sjow.

edit: cheese has nothing to do with being unfair? its about taking a huge risk, and if its scouted or fails..you lose

Rofl. He wasn't cought doing anything. That's just Idra being a sore loser and his fans being stupid.

I have to admit that I've never been a fan of TotalBiscuit's solo casting, but him and Gretorp together is incredibly entertaining. If this is the first time they've casted together, I'm totally impressed. I vote for these two every Thursday.

well he assumed he was being stream cheated ...always amuses me with streamers that cry cheat straight away if you care then dont stream if you stream then give your opponents the benefit of the doubt you are after all profiting from showing the game and know the risks involved.
