because he hasn't out performed Axslav or StrifeCro... Hell his MLG showings have been more impressive than incontrol's too.

Its hilarious how much hate this guy gets for winning ONE best of three. Get over yourself Idra fanboys.

Good luck with school, its the smart move. Hopefully we see him once school is finished.

This, this ,this, soo much this. Everytime I see a post by an IdrA fanboy, I pretty much picture a huge guy frothing at the edges of his mouth, mashing the keyboard furiously about how IdrA is right and everyone else who doesn't play zerg is pretty much a baddie.

This and the above, not like i enjoy his playstyle but he deserves more then he gets credit for in this topic, it is rather hollow to see the idra fans spamming mindlessly there copied hate towards a player idra doomed from the start. But hey what else is new.

Best of luck to you Crunsher !

Sad how underrated Cruncher is... just because IdrA thinks he's bad doesn't mean it's true. GL in life Cruncher, you're a solid player, even though you cheesed me out at Raleigh.

Pretty pathetic thread really. Guy seems a really genuine guy from anytime I've ever heard interviews with him, posted solid results (MLG Open Bracket success is pretty darn tough to do consistently). But yet he gets abused for his weight, for his playstyle, for STUDYING. Ridiculous.

All of this based on the fact Idra raged out at the guy. I personally like Idra's personality, but god can I not stand his fanboys who just go around shitting on other players because their king doesn't approve their playstyle. Grow the fuck up. Mr Fields is big enough to fight his own battles, 90% of which he starts in the first place. He no doubt regards sections of his Grackolytes as pretty pathetic anyway so you're not going to get to suck his dick no matter how much white-knighting you do on his behalf.

If you didn't have a range of divergent playstyles this game wouldn't be half as fun to watch, even if you consider them 'abusive'. Pretty funny really how much hate high-level players get on here, you know the kinds of guys who say that Puma is a bad player.

Good luck to Cruncher and whatever course his life takes him. Guy had the grace to accept his last MLG loss to Idra and went to shake his hand, and didn't even get that. No wonder he's taking a break if this kind of behaviour is regarded as acceptable in the community now.

Sad to see another protoss player leaving, feels like there aren't that many of them left in the top.

Good luck in the future Crunch!

And suddenly in January EG will announce and announcement and husky will say in one of his vids: " Did you heard Cruncher is joining EG"... and non will know what hes talking about.

In all honesty the guy wasn't posing any "oh so impressive" result except for very few wins ( aka win vs Idra in TSL ) so it might be right decision to focus on school if he has the money for it.

Obv, anyone who disagrees with the opinion that cruncher never was/always was THAT good is a fanboy of cruncher/idra, since no serious person could ever disagree with my statements!!!1111

He qualified to pool play from the open bracket in MLG at least twice, and had decent results (eventhough his pool play results were not that good)

Nobody cares about your subjective opinions and misguided statements on career choices. I'm doing my higher education in America right now, and I can sure as hell say, as long as you are not doing your education in a lower rung college, and not just trying to scrape through with just a pass grade, college education gives you an excellent foundation to launch your career. Also unless your aim in life is to flip a burger in McDonalds or to just make money to survive, college education helps you immensely in achieving your goals (especially career related ones). If not for the education, just the networking opportunities that you get in college are priceless, and the entire experience is worth every single penny you pay. Look at the census info from US government Bureau of Labor Statistics. (scroll down to the table 5 and look at median value for Males over 25 with a college degree and compare it with those without)

Click

The first prize for winning an MLG is 5000 $. And more often than not a Korean is going to win it. Most graduates from my college make more money than that along with additional benefits. Hell, with all due respect to IdrA, I'm pretty sure I'm going to be making more money than him per year (on average over a period of 10 years), when I graduate. E-sports is fine if your entire passion in life lies with it. But if your goal is to make money and do other things, then you're better off with college education and alternate career paths instead of betting your life on a video game whose balance and longevity lies in the hands of a third person or entity (in this case, Blizzard).


you're a bad man, that one blew a lot of imaginary worlds : (
