He was so ahead he could've rallied probes at qxc and still win.

People hate Cruncher because his wins involve his opponents making mistakes and not responding appropriately to his play while all his losses make him look totally outclassed. He never seems to 'outplay' his opponent in an even game; says nothing bad about the guy, just seems to be the result of his style and the way players deal with it.

As an example look at that game: QXC with a strange build and poor macro, failing to scan DT's in fights, etc. If QXC's floating minerals had been army that game it could have been very different, so judging how good Cruncher is from it is pretty difficult (though he played a solid game that punished mistakes harshly).

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 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)





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

Yeah it's a fucking joke. But it goes to show that people don't even bother to actually watch the game and just blindly hate on a player for the sake of it

Yup. People are being soo bias against Cruncher. Nothing but awesome Protoss mass gateway/ mass expand play. Really cool to watch, and this is coming from someone who wanted nothing more than Cruncher to crash and burn out of the scene a few months ago.

They haven't complained at any point...they've said archons are really good a couple of times. That's...a positive remark?

Lol. I'm saying I find his play boring. Don't really care if you think differently. Maybe I didn't explain it in the best way, but the guy asked why people hate him, and that's my pov. Sitting around until 2/2+ upgrades, HT, and 3 bases doesn't strike me as aggressive but to each his own

Archon isn't OP. When Protoss has 3-4 more bases, he is supposed to win easily. If it were equal bases, Cruncher would be in trouble with wasting so many templars and archons. Archons are good, but not OP.

Kinda hard when the casters won't shut up about how QXC played "amazingly well" and how Protoss has "so many death balls they can use."

Xeris is hilarious.... I love that comment. "Protoss showing you don't need the collossus deathball to win... you can just use the archon deathball"
