He never outgrew the 'bag of tricks' phase in his pro-gaming, and this is the end result. | ||

There is no real contribution here, just Idras swarm creeping all over the place. Good luck to Cruncher. It was a fun experience for him, i bet. But it's time to move on in life. | ||

Too bad for CoL, they lost their second best player. Gl to Abdulaziz. | ||

Made the MLG championship bracket every time he attended, mid-tabled NASL, won some NA cups. Cruncher never set the world on fire with his performances, but behind Kiwi and TT1 he was definitely one of the best Protoss in NA. This thread is fucking depressing me with how BM some people are about what's basically the retiment of a pretty strong NA player :/ | ||

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. if you are good enough at a game to play it for money, you have to take the shot. college will wait for you | ||

Good call I remember that he did make it out of open play at one MLG right ? and went fairly deep in the loser championship bracket ? | ||

If he'd explored the game and put in the work to be legitimately good like Hasu he'd still be in the scene and still thriving. He never outgrew the 'bag of tricks' phase in his pro-gaming, and this is the end result. Out of interest, could one of the Idra's fans explain to me what ISN'T classified as abusive play or relying on a bag of tricks? It seems if Cruncher 4gates, 6 gates, builds a Void Ray etc. that's abusive play which won't last long. Yet at the same time if you play extremely safe and turtle while building up your army that's also labelled as abusive play and some kind of trick. I AM CONFUSE. | ||

Yeah and its pretty impressive what he's done so far while being in school. His entire career up to this point has been while being a full-time student. He's probably just getting into the higher level, more difficult classes which take considerably more time. People seem to forget he was never the kind of person who put his whole life into SC2 or something. It was a hobby for him. Just because he made it as far and farther in tournaments than full-time pros, doesn't mean he was a full-time pro | ||

 I will forever miss Cruncher. WCR represent! I do hope he comes back one. He is a good player who I personally believe did not deserve to be a victim of hate from this community. | ||
