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.

Just to be clear, sjow scouts that nexus he wins, sjow doesn't scout the nexus he loses.. if you think that build is designed to hold any sort of early pressure you either don't understand the matchup or you're just downright stupid. It's akin to proxying dt tech on one base and it is a complete dice roll.

It's only clever based on the assumption that cruncher has less than a 50% shot at winning by not placing the nex.


It's not exactly 50/50 though, Cruncher likely knows that Sjow's early game scouting is really bad, and decided that there was a low chance of being discovered, so assigning numbers is impossible. That said, it was absurdly risky, and if sjow HAD noticed it, it was essentially an automatic loss for Cruncher. Regardless of what you think of that, it's ridiculously greedy, and he didn't get punished, thus had an easy ride to the end.

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.


Seconded; I like TB, but when he's paired up alongside someone with a contrasting style he really comes into his own.

why so many stalkers? Sentries and zealots are a lot better on xel naga if you can cut the army or pin them with forcefields

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.

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)


He said she said. He was in the stream during the match, and had some suspicious movements, but you are all right, nothing was proven. Let's just say, IdrA and his hardcore fans believe Cruncher was cheating, Cruncher claimed he wasn't, nobody knows for sure other than Cruncher. It doesn't really matter.

Stop bullshitting plz.
