Big mistake on Crunchers part. He had the chance of 3-4 years of rockstar life (before competition got too fierce), stable wages from Col, fly around the world and play computer games, perhaps live in a Col house in Korea and practise with the best. Now he gets another 40 years of sitting in a cubicle working 9-5. There is no way he can go back to SC2 after school, as the competition is increasing so fast.

Good luck to the rest of COL I think it has more to do with the fact that any reasonable person would choose their college education over pro-gaming. A college graduate studying anything meaningful will have more financial security than 99.9% of pro-gamers. Not to mention its a reliable and easy to manage lifestyle. | ||

I think Cruncher was Idra's protoss smurf. Obviously he couldn't admit to anyone that he was playing Protoss because of all the things he'd said about Protoss players, so he created an alter-ego and got a friend (probably Axslav or Strifocro, but mostly likely Strifecro, because who would notice when he was missing?) to dress up in his Cruncher costume when he had to be Idra at tournaments. + Show Spoiler [IEM spoiler] + His win at IEM only cemented what he'd known for a while about Zerg actually being the op race, and Protoss being really hard to play and win with atm and that for a Protoss to beat a Zerg they need to be a much much better player than the Zerg. So he decided that it was time to retire Cruncher and focus 100% of his practice time to Zerg again. Don't worry though. If Idra starts to slump again then Cruncher will definitely be back. | ||

Your perspective of life is so skewed its almost sad I think you need a reality check a serious reality check. If you think thats what life is...yeah sorry if thats what happened to you. But gambling on a E-SPORT is almost illogical, its all fun and games but at the end of the day if youre not top korean level youre not going to make a great living off this game. You have to think about the long-run of your life not just the short-run. I believe cruncher noticed he is good, but he is not the best(not winning MLGs, IEM etc) and it takes balls and a logical brain to know what is attainable and not attainable. No one knows what the future of ESPORTS is so unless youre an IdrA, MC, Nestea why take the gamble on life? Proffesional E-Sports is a life experiance but 90% of the time, it cant be a life-style. Cruncher noticed he is not the 10% | ||

I'm sorry but getting an education and career is a much better move than hoping you'll develop MVP skills and IdrA marketability. | ||

Cruncher noticed he is not the 10% I don't agree. Cruncher is bad, that I can agree with.. and he will never win a tournament or get into the finals of anything. But look at whats happening to the scene, teams like Col and FXO have more money than they know what to do with so they splurge all over the few Americans that have a name in the hope of not missing out on the gold rush that is coming. Sure Koreans are better, but a korean doesnt sell an overpriced Razor laptop or a fancy mouse with 15 buttons. Cruncher was the top name of Col, and if he was smart he could have milked that for at least a couple of years before people realized he was trash. And life is not just about security. Cruncher may be fat, but hes still just a kid.. he should take the chance at a rockstar life now, because school isn't going anywhere. Look at Idra, he turned down a physics scholarship to go live on Artosis floor in Korea just so he could follow his dream. That is why we love Idra, and that is why Cruncher failed. | ||
