I don't get why people hate cruncher? he seems not that awful?

Not quite idras level but...

Edit: In the same league for sure.


Just my opinion, but it's mostly that he is really boring to watch. I'm even yawning right now

I guess the best way to describe it would be he either all ins off 2 base or turtles like crazy like he is this game. Better than all inning every game but it seems like all his games are one of like 3 builds and I find it boring

He has a lot of cute micro tricks tho!


I've never seen him do this build before. In fact I think that whole 'Cruncher can only all in or turtle' thing is old hat...it seemed like it about 2 months ago but I don't think it's fair criticism now.

how did he not turtle this game?

Its not a bad thing to turtle.

FlaSh anyone?


Holy crap thats alot of DTs.

When flash turtles. he does it like a god.

Cruncher looking really strong atm. QXC dropped 3 emps on that army? That seemed a little excessive. the 2nd and 3rd emp looked like they were in the same spot

late game reapers! :D the new vultures harass of sc2!

if they even come out that is.


I've seen qxc use late game reapers before...maybe in the TSL. I remember it was on Xel'naga, and at first it failed horribly and then suddenly it was EPIC. I think against Genius, he was waaaay behind and using harrassment techniques including reapers he brought it back.


I've been thinking a bit about using a smallish reaper squad in mid to late game as building snipers as you draw units away from bases.

I'm enjoying Cruncher's play.
Seriously, Mass Gateway is awesome.

He has been the most aggressive Protoss in the NASL these past few weeks. Seriously, players like Socke, Hasu, etc are much much more passive than Cruncher.

He did some Voidray/Colossus builds before, great, but that isn't what he does now.


Turtling doesn't have to be VR colossus

Show me a Protoss in PvT that has been more aggressive than Cruncher has this game, I dare you (whilst expanding). His army has been on the Terran side of the map for 80% of this game

I haven't watched a lot of him but tbh, QXC forced him into passiveness here. If he was passive he could probably win fine. Being aggressive would have been difficult.


He's not brilliant but he seems...quite skilled.


I agree, he's just playing completely solid. He's making QXC look bad. He's not doing anything incredible but he's not making mistakes either.

MASSIVE dt wave at the end, Cruncher just had control of that game from the start and just kept killing QXC very slowly!

Cruncher attacks multiple times, takes 9! bases, constantly harasses qxc's expansions and people still call it "turtling."
